Colleen + Paul married!

June 15, 2011

Last month, Colleen and Paul flew in from New York to get married here in Las Vegas. I didn’t meet them until 2 days before the wedding, and we only talked on the phone until then. But Colleen was really sweet over the phone, and they sounded like a very laid back couple. When I met them in person, I got to know them a little more, and they were so calm when I met them. There were no jitters that I could see, but maybe because they have been dating for over a decade!

Forty of their closest friends and family flew out to celebrate their wedding day with them. It was a beautiful, intimate wedding held at Caesar’s Palace.

I loved Colleen’s flower girl! She was so precious and had on the cutest flower girl dress! The wedding gazebo is out by the pool so that’s why we are passing by the towel station.

The gardens at Caesar’s Palace is gorgeous! They recently changed the rules and no longer allow brides to bring outside photographers, so this may be my first and last time photographing here! So sad!

I found out Paul absolutely hates taking pictures, so I tried to do the bride and groom portraits as fast and painless as possible. I am not sure if Paul would agree, but he looks happy that I’m taking his picture here!

While waiting for the limo, I was able to sneak in a few more portraits by the front gardens of Caesar’s. Such an adorable couple!

Colleen ended up hiring a limo to take them to the reception at Maggiano’s. Originally she wanted to walk since it’s only a block, but it is one very looong block, especially when it is hot outside and you are in a wedding dress!

Paul used to compete professionally in motocross, and so Colleen surprised him with a motocross cake! I love the originality of the cake and how the tires make up the layers of the cake, and was really well designed.

Colleen had pink uplighting, which was a great touch to the dance floor! And yes, that is the flower doing “the sprinkler”! Love it!
