Sara & Thomas

Meet Thomas & Sara. She is from Shanghai, China, super cool, laid back, and fun. Thanks to her work she met the love of her life. Enter Thomas, a brilliant Computer Engineer from Germany with an equally fun personality, and smile. They flew out here to exchange nuptials at the midway point, but also near some cool locations that they loved. I was honored when they asked me to capture the day before and their wedding day. When we planned the itinerary for the day, I wanted to get some of the coolest locations that they wanted, and cram them in the same day. 100% worth it!!

We headed out from Vegas to Death Valley, driving hours to get out there by sunrise. Sara was a champ and started getting ready with her hair at 2am! Vast is the view, and we were all alone with some of the coolest locations!

The perks of cool locations, lonely roads allow for some sweet backdrops. One biker did give us a very evil look, but he didn't get it. He didn't see what I was seeing here.

Rental car, or ladder, you make the call ( I took good care of the roof :) )

After that we headed up to the mountains, to 8,000 feet to get some more variety and some of these fall shots.

Red Rocks is 30 minutes outside Vegas, and a stellar spot. Location scouting took us to some of the best spots in the desert of America.

The following day after our monstrous travel day shooting all over, Thomas and Sara got their license at the City Hall, proud and in love.

Then flying over the strip, they gave their vows in a sweet flight watching the glow of the city in the background.

Yo Mike!

What's more amazed to us, other than your super talent in photography art, is your coolest personality that so nicely handled our impatience while waiting photos! I bet you understand as nobody can resist the desire to see the awesome wedding pictures that you took!

I love those pictures! Esp. I was a bit afraid what if you missed the aviat shot from heli to Las VEgas but unsurprisingly of course you didn't miss! What a picture that goes to my heart! And the one that we stood outside the court is just classic!!

Thousands of thanks, Mike.
You are the best :)
Sara,
