Hungarian Las Vegas Wedding Photographer -The wedding of Timea & Norbert

I had a special honor. A Hungarian couple found me on the Internet to photograph their wedding. There was just the two of them made the trip to Las Vegas to tie the knot. The family was watching the ceremony and the part of the photo session on live video and they were also involved by phone.
It was the perfect weather for a princessy photo session on the Strip.
We started at the Hard Rock Coffee, where the couple stayed, the ceremony was hold at the Vegas Wedding Chapel http://www.702wedding.com/ . Elvis walked down the isle and gave away Timea. He also stayed during the ceremony and sang a couple of special song for the couple. After the ceremony we headed to our Strip Tour to stop at famous Las Vegas landmarks to take memorable images.
The Bridal bouquet was very special: Lily of the valley (see before the details about these special blooms).
Here are my favorite images:

Bridal bouquet: Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis)

I photographed a wonderful couple last month, Timea and Norbert. They choose a very special flower for their celebration.
Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis); is a study of quiet elegance, the white blossoms are said to be associated with purity and the Virgin Mary. Lily-of-the-Valley is also known as lady's tears, ladder to heaven and fairies' bells.
Its flowers are reminiscent of wedding bells. Like a bride and
groom, its oval basal leaves stand in pairs around a pendulous stalk.

Lily-of-the-Valley blooms have a sweet, floral, fresh scent, and romantic woodsy feel. Wedding bells traditionally proclaim a marriage.

It is said to be restorative and strengthening; in the Middle Ages, water distilled from the flowers of Lily-of-the-Valley were used as a tonic to beautify the skin.
These tiny flowers with their classic bell shape and symbolic meaning of unity and happiness are a favorite choice for weddings.

Lily of the Valley is usually available for mostly at spring and summer. Norbert and Timea got married in November. They special ordered the flowers from Julie Reed from Julie Reed Events @ www.juliereedevents.com
The Lily of the Valley needed special care. The flowers was shipped with roots in wet dirt and had to be prepared an hour before Timea received her bouquet.

The bridal bouquet and the boutonniere were unique, stunning, princessy. The fragrance was incredible, part of a magical celebration.
