George and Joanne’s Wedding.  Amidst criss crossing back and forth from one side of the country to the other to photograph weddings, we had one small wedding right here downtown at the Golden Nugget. What does a well traveled photographer think and expect when he comes home to shoot a small intimate wedding in his home town?  Well, if it’s Joanne and George’s wedding then expectations are pretty much evaporated when photographing this couple and thier tightly nit group of best friends and family (see post below – the wedding party).  Right at the start of the day (while Joanne was getting ready) practically everyone in the wedding party was in the bathtub….. together….. drinking, laughing and having fun (no water needed it the tub) I knew that this was going to be a good group.  George and Joanne: thank you for being so much fun to hang out with, you made me feel like I was part of the family and friends that made the day go by way to fast…  thanks….     .jmc.

The fantastic, Lori White, did a great job on hair and make up

    These are super cool. You all give people the actor persona… I love that. These people look like actors, are they? I love the portraits at the Four Queens.
