Kim & Sasha – The Smith Center part 2

Blog post by John Michael Cooper, Photography by John Michael Cooper, Dalisa Cooper, Alicia Purdum, Chris Purdum and Danielle DeBruno
If you missed part one go back here and see the details that set the stage for Kim and Sasha’s wedding which is arguably the Las Vegas wedding event of the year!  And if you think that the grandness of The Smith Center and beautiful event decor was amazing, then enter in:  The Stunning Bride and Groom along with a wedding party of nearly 30.  Even though Sasha and Kim are pretty easy on the eyes and such a pleasure to photograph, once you add into the mix a very talented band, an elvis, serbian dancers, karaoke, a near perfect first dance and a flaming pig you’ll see why we had a crew of 5 photographers.  With Dalisa and I photographing Kim and Sasha, Danielle shooting all the event details and Chris and Alicia Purdum covering the cocktails and guest portraits for us,  there was a lot of crazy talent running around with cameras recording Las Vegas’s grandest wedding of the year… take a look for yourself…

Kim and Sasha, thank you so much for allowing our team to photograph such a beautiful event, and also thank you for telling me which way the dip was going to be. 😉 -jmc
