Go BIG or go home were most definitely some of Bonnie and John’s thoughts when planning their wedding. I love it when couples are passionate about creating a wedding that fits their personalities. It does not have to be traditional. Why not Vegas? Why not a PLANNED Vegas wedding? After all, it is a celebration of the bride and groom’s unity and love for each other. Vegas is a place they have shared many memories together.

I’m thankful I was able to be a part of their huge celebration. My best friend and fellow photographer, Cara Slagle was also able to fly into Vegas from Minnesota to help with the wedding. The ceremony was located at the Planet Hollywood Chapel. A nice, relaxing (and amusing) reception with friends and family was held in Bonnie and John’s Planet Hollywood suite. And finally, the reception continued at a club called Haze in the Aria Hotel. I have to say, it was nice having VIP access at the club! It was like a classic scene in a movie where tons of people are standing in line and we walk past them all, the red velvet rope was unhooked, and we were immediately let in by the bouncer. Sweetness! On top of that, the club was an amazing place to celebrate. At one point, fake snow fell down from the ceiling as everyone was dancing. It was good times with good people! Congratulations Bonnie and John!
