Robert + Nicole - Part II: After the wedding.....

After the reception, we dragged an exhausted Robert and Nicole out on the Vegas Strip.. but it was oh so worth it!!! We got killer images! Then the next morning we headed out at 7am (ouch!!) to get some day-after photos at Red Rock Canyon - hot hot hot (and I'm not talking about the weather)! We were all SO tired but again, it was worth it. Other couples, please take note - if you want photos that go above and beyond, give us some additional time and it's all yours! We live for this stuff, tired or not.

So here they are, a gorgeous couple in two amazing backdrops....



































































OMG I totally forgot to add my favorite picture (sorry Nicole, I think Roberts going to go crazy for this one)

Robert + Nicole - Part I: What happened in Vegas....

... is too good to stay in Vegas this time. We flew in for their 10-10-10 wedding and went straight from the plane to the bachelorette party at Vanity. Lucky for Nicole and her friends, we were not allowed to bring our cameras in. :-) But it did give us a good idea how much fun we'd be having at their wedding! We were force fed shot after shot of Vodka, resulting in Lionel wearing a hot pink boa and me waking up with a headache the next day. Welcome to Vegas!

Nicole and Robert are a beautiful couple inside and out - warm, generous, happy, and our favorite part... absolutely insane (AND willing to take photos, even when they are fall-down-dead tired - yes we will love you FOREVER for that!).

I don't think we stopped smiling during the reception because there was so much going on:
-bridal party entrance - each dancing to their own song... VERY entertaining
-the bridal party dance off... boys vs. girls (girls won with a last minute move - Nicole's sister doing the splits)
-Robert and Nicole's INCREDIBLE first dance medley... from Baby Got Back to The Humpty Dance to Superman (Soulja Boy).
-Nicole's surprise reenactment of her dance as feature girl in Outkast's "Hey Ya" video (yup, she was in the video)
-Not to mention ALL the crazy antics of their friends, family, and bridal party... I don't think they even needed alcohol - it's their natural state :-)
-Robert's twin brother, JP, is a "hot mess" (as Nicole would say). I'm not sure he should procreate. (...even though it looked like several attractive ladies would be interested in doing so)

At one point I looked up and saw a blur go by - which it turns out was Lionel sliding across the dance floor on his knees trying to get a better angle of some of the madness.

Needless to say, we had a blast and so did everyone else.

Robert and Nicole... it was lovely to see you so happy at your wedding. You deserve that happiness and much more, for the rest of your lives. Keep smiling and laughing together... always.

Love,
Kristiaan and Lionel

(PS - THIS IS JUST INSTALLMENT #1 - more to come shortly from our shoot on the Strip that night, PLUS our Day After shoot at Red Rock Canyon - woot woot!!!!)





















































































Faces don't lie... we had fun. :-)
