2025 Recap | Las Vegas Wedding Photographer

Sitting here at the end of the year, prepping my 2025 recap has me IN MY FEELS. I had the best year capturing your memories. From each incredible day running around Fremont Street, to the cliffs in Ireland… you made this year one I’ll literally never forget.

I’d describe this last year as: busy, creative, and deeply rewarding.

I photographed:
83 elopements
12 weddings
11 couples sessions

And each one was unique and personal in its own way. I also had the chance to shoot in 16 brand new locations, which always pushes my creativity and keeps things feeling fresh.

And then there was the editing!! I spent approx. 329,857 hours spent editing, which somehow feels both dramatic and completely accurate. Every single hour was worth it.

One of the biggest “official” changes this year was adding film to my offerings.

After experimenting with it in 2024, I knew I didn’t want it to be a side hobby. So, in 2025, film became a real part of my work. I started including 35mm, Polaroids, and Super 8mm. Film has this way of slowing everything down and making moments feel even more intentional. Seeing my 2026 couples fully embrace it has been such a highlight, and I already know next year will include even more film-forward storytelling.

A few more blogs to highlight during this 2025 recap…

If you want to do a deep dive into my year, let me show you were to start! I’ve been blogging every single week, and these are some different days that included career highlights or special moments for me as a Las Vegas wedding photographer:

Mitri and Ana’s vow renewal is still living rent-free in my head. The jumpsuit, the energy, the entire vibe was perfection. See it here!

Aimee and Chinedu’s sunset proposal at Cactus Joe’s was my first time shooting there, and the desert showed off in the best way possible. See their full proposal here.

Cori and Luke’s wedding at the JW Marriott was pure fun from start to finish, with a reception that absolutely deserves its own highlight reel. View their day here!

Meghan and Jimmy’s cliffside wedding in Ireland honestly speaks for itself. Dramatic views, wild wind, and so much heart. Click to see their whole day!

And Alicia and Noah finally brought my Hellvis dreams to life. A Hellvis wedding paired with a burlesque show at Sure Thing was everything I hoped it would be and more. Make sure to check it out here.

More than anything, this going over this 2025 recap reminded me why I love this work so much.

The trust, the connection, and the chance to tell your story… never gets old. Thank you for being part of my year. Whether you scrolled my blogs, liked a social media post, or hired me to photograph your day. I’m endlessly grateful for each of you, and I cannot wait to see what’s ahead. Here’s to 2026!
