The beau and I decided to run off and get hitched in Vegas. Although I had never envisioned a guest list of 300 names, multiple dress changes, and demanding all my bridesmaids lose 15 pounds and whiten their teeth, I knew I had to have excellent photographs to remember my wedding day.\n\nWe're from the East Coast, and had to rely on online reviews for the few elements of our wedding we did plan. I found Deacon's reviews and checked out his website. I thought his work was great, and immediately contacted him. What we wanted was fairly simple - being just the two of us - so the details were taken care of in no time. I called him a week before, because I had lost the scrap paper I had scribbled down our meeting location and time. Deacon was friendly and not at all perturbed by my panicked state.\n\nWe met Deacon and Sarah by the Fitzgerald to get warmed up. We had never been professionally photographed before, and wasn't sure what to expect. Deacon and Sarah are so nice and relaxed that it took no time at all to get comfortable doing things (i.e. staring deeply into your lovers' eyes) that you might not normally want to do around other people.\n\nFrom there, we went up the street to the Neon Boneyard. We only had an hour, but the flow of everything was amazing. Deacon has a great eye for interesting, unique shots and was constantly inspired by the sunlight and wind that day. (It was very windy and Sarah was a great sport for holding the umbrella light thing, almost being blown away several times Mary Poppins-style).\n\nAfter we were done with our pictures, Deacon let us know it would be a quick turnaround time. Thinking to my other friends who have gotten married - I thought, Sure, I'll see the pictures in 6 weeks. He was true to his word and we got our pictures back within a week! (Disclaimer: I wouldn't expect things to be this fast - I think we lucked out and he didn't have any other weddings scheduled near ours). The edited shots were incredible. We sent them to our family and friends to say, Surprise! We're Married!\n\nWhen we return to Vegas, we are planning on booking another shoot with him - a family portrait session perhaps :)
