Intimate Wedding reception at the Golden Steer Steakhouse in Las Vegas

I was so excited when Tami called me to document with images her wedding reception at the Golden Steer Steakhouse.
When we walked in the restaurant we felt 50 years of history.
“The Golden Steer Steakhouse was founded in 1958. At the beginning they were a small restaurant with a bar and dining room. Over the years, they have expanded by annexing the neighboring shops and in the 70's by adding in a larger bar with an old Victorian ambiance reminiscent of the gold rush era of San Francisco. In the 90's, the redecorating was completed to reflect the new century, but still retained the ambiance of the "Old Las Vegas" days when Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. were but a few of their regular customers.
The Golden Steer Steakhouse is also known for their many famous and infamous customers such as: Tony "The Ant" Spilatro, Natalie Wood, Al Hirt, Nat "King" Cole, Joe DiMaggio, Elvis Presley, and Mario Andretti just to name a few.
The Steakhouse be able to remain one of the best restaurants in the city of Las Vegas since 1958 and has also earned them their trademark: The Best Steaks On Earth.”

Our intimate reception was in the private dining room, which has a beautiful chandelier and included 5 people, a singer and us from the photography side. We had such a great time. The music was fabulous; everybody was dancing and having fun!
Congratulations Tami and Larry!

Amanda & Ryan - Loews Lake Las Vegas Wedding

Amanda & Ryan traveled all the way from Indianapolis to tie the knot at the beautiful Loews Lake Las Vegas resort! A lot of friends and family followed them to celebrate their wedding. Such a fun time!
I was amazed with the connections within the family! The speeches what we heard, and especially the one what Amanda’s dad give to the couple made my heart melt. Such a wonderful words, such a wonderful relationship, such a caring family!
I also loved all the beautiful, smart little kids on the wedding! They just made the whole experience full!

I received such a nice letter from Amanda’s mom after the wedding:

Whitney, Josh and Jelly Bean - Las vegas Engagement Session

What a cute couple! We decided to take the engagement images at Lake Las Vegas. Such a beautiful place! Hopefully it won't be closed too long for the public!
Whitney and Josh brought their doggy, Jelly Bean for the photo session! She enjoyed being outdoors so much, running around. She had to discover the neighborhood first before we could include her in the pictures. We had a lot of fun!
