Just got in to Las Vegas today.  When I come to Las Vegas I have always stayed on the strip, but this time we have a wedding at The Ritz Carlton on Lake Las Vegas.  It’s such a different feel of Vegas and I absolutely love it.  The resort is beautiful and I can’t wait for the wedding tomorrow.  Here’s a picture that Cory took of me while we were scouting out locations for tomorrow’s wedding and I was on the phone at the time figuring out dinner plans for the night with Aimee.

I cannot even begin to describe how much fun I had on my bachelor party.  My buddie’s Alex and Billy planned the party and it was soooo much fun!  We went up to Big Bear for the weekend and rented the amazing cabin Dawson Peak.  The cabin was so sweet with a gorgeous view, hot tub, and huge game room.  On Saturday we went on a ziplining tour and went into town for a bit.  I have to thank my friends Billy, Mikey, Alex, Cory, and Adrian all for making it such a fun weekend!

The view from one of the decks.  You can actually see stars in California. Who would have thunk?

And here is a video of me on the zip line in big bear.  If you look closely you can see that I’m zipping from a huge pine tree.  That was one of the stopping points was on a platform that was in a pine tree.  Also, there is a little life lesson at the end ;)

Last Saturday I headed over to San Juan Capistrano to photograph Katie and Erik’s wedding at the beautiful Rancho Capistrano .  You might remember Katie and Erik’s engagement pictures with the horses.  We had so much fun taking their pictures that day. I loved all of the landscape and the feeling of Rancho Capistrano.  Great place for a wedding!  Thanks to Aimee and Cory for coming to shoot with me again.  They got some awesome pictures.  It was also great to hear the dj Charles Kerr get the dance floor moving.  He’s the owner of Music on the Move

Check out this fun video of our setup today.  I assisted Mr. Cory Jones who rented out the McCadden Space in Hollywood.  Check out their website, they decorate the studio with a 60′s theme.  It was a great studio with lots of rigging, props, and makeup rooms.  We probably did about 10 different sets through out the day.
