I won free photography

[beekerzwhirled]

So, a few weeks ago, I entered a giveaway, this giveaway, on the Green Orchid Events blog to win a photography session in Vegas. I was stalking the blog nearly every day as the winner would be chosen randomly from the comments. There were still only 5 commenters (I was the 5th) so I figured we had a 20% chance at it, which isn't all that high

Outside the Venetian and the Palazzo is a lovely area that looks very similar to the Plaza San Marco in Venice (the balcony, the bridge, etc.). FH and I are going to do a lot of our photos for our Vegas wedding there this Sunday. Also, the fountains around Caesar's Palace has great European appeal if you're into that sort of thing! We'll be stopping there as well :)

thank you for the tips! i'm amassing quite the list of places to check out. :) who are you using for your wedding? we booked our package through Scenic Las Vegas Weddings for the wedding itself.

Ours is so informal that we don't actually have a wedding package, lol! It's just us and one really good mutual friend... We're picking up the license on Saturday (and then playing games and maybe seeing a show, lol), being married at the office of civil marriage commission on Sunday, my friend is going to take some pictures for us, and then we have reservations at Pinot Brasserie for that evening... and that's it, lol!

sweet! i'd probably get shot by about a dozen people if we did that. we're having about 25 people but nothing formal, just cupcakes and champagne in our suite after the ceremony. i mostly found a company since i wanted pictures and they handle absolutely everything. :)

have a fab time!

Lol, we had about 50 or so people threaten to shoot us over it, so we're having a "big" wedding in October (which is turning out to be a total pain, but y'know...) in my hometown back east. My mom literally cried on the phone when I mentioned the word "elope." I would have gone with exactly what you're doing as well, if it weren't for the familial pressure for the ginormous "tradtional wedding" on both sides! I'll definitely post the pics once we get them so you can see the areas I mentioned. I'm gonna push for a gondola ride, too, lol!
