Tamiko and Mark are two beautifully genuine individuals with strong family values and an immense amount of love for each other.  It was truly such a privilege to photograph their wedding day!  As a testament to how amazing they are,  over 100 friends and family made the cross-country trip to celebrate with them as they tied the knot in Las Vegas! 

Tamiko and Mark chose to have a first look!  Seeing each other before walking down the aisle is so special! They were able to share a quiet intimate moment together before their ceremony and of course Tamiko was able to check out Mark’s booty in his tux! 

After the first look, we grabbed some group photos with their bridal party and then let them spend some time relaxing before the ceremony started.  We then took detail shots of the reception and ceremony spaces.  After the ceremony, it was time for photos of the new Mr. & Mrs. together, while the guests and family enjoyed cocktail hour.

After dinner, the bride and groom had their first dance, followed by the traditional father-daughter and mother-son dances.  Later the guests and family were then treated to some heart-felt toasts and a very special taiko drum performance by some members of Tamiko’s group, Soh Daiko, from New York City before the dancing took over! 

T + M: Thank you again for having us share in your amazing wedding day! It was such a blast and we wish nothing but happiness, love, and adventures in your marriage!
