Robin and Nick

What sort of wedding do you wish for?  Is it magical and sparkly?  Is it filled with well wishes and family?  Is it celebrating the love of your life and the story that brought you together?  Wish Upon a Wedding is a non-profit organization that allows couples who face life altering circumstances and who may lack in the resources that are needed to plan a wedding.  Being a wish granter for this organization is simple; being chosen as Nick and Robin’s photographer was absolutely humbling.  I called upon my favorite portrait artist, John Michael Cooper to assist in their engagement session – I don’t know of a better partner to share this experience with.

Lori White stepped in for Hair and Make up and was a phenomenal as always.  She’s not just about styling – it’s an over all experience with Lori.  Arlene with Semper Fi Events is Nick and Robin’s event coordinator and we are ecstatic to work with her.  She brought along Philip who ended up more of an Altf assistant than a Semper Fi assistant but he didn’t seem to mind. And I (of course!) owe a big thank you to Adam and Cymbra Frazier, the Mr. and Mrs. of the Las Vegas chapter of Wish Upon a Wedding not only for introducing me to this fabulous couple but for all of their hard work and dedication to this organization. If it were not for them, Las Vegas would still be in the dust with giving back in the wedding industry.

Nick’s smile is contagious – in my opinion, it’s the best asset that an human can have; to simply cause others around you to smile just because you are.  Above, his mother was having a little fun with them.

Below, JMC was rockin’ a cool portrait.  Nick and Robin were so much fun and so easy going.  They were game for anything which results in the perfect match for Altf.  I cannot wait until thier June wedding and being allowed the opportunity to spend an entire day with them.  Until then..
