MTV’s – “The Real World” Suite

Sweet suite! When the Palms Hotel in Vegas heard Teresa & Daniel were getting married in Vegas, they offered to hook them up with their 3,000 + square foot “Real World” Suite they built for MTV’s hit reality show. It was a truly imaginative smorgasbord of creative locations to set these two beautiful people up in for some rock & roll shots!

Anna & I are über excited to be in Vegas right now shooting Teresa Strasser, co-host of the Adam Corolla show & Daniel Wachinski’s wedding at the Venetion Hotel. We’re overwhelmed by their generosity – check out the sweet digs they put us up in, not to shabby! Michelle Buckley of Mint Julep Inc. is coordinating and we know anything she touches turns to gold, well more like a hip, modern affair... We have a couple more shindigs coming up with her this year as well we’re excited to work with her on. Here is a little sneak peak of a shoot we did with them at the Palms Hotel last night in MTV’s The Real World Suite. I’ll post the rest mañana. Thanks for visiting!

Chris + Amanda Film Images

Here’s some more images from Chris & Amanda’s wedding at the Coppola Family Vineyard (see previous blog post for more info). We’re in the process of editing this fantastic wedding & I just pulled out a few film images to show you all. A couple special notes; 1) Her dress is one of the coolest ever! 2) Check out how nice the Fuji 100 Across makes the b+w shot of her standing in the dappled light of the trees so creamy – unreal!

We just updated Cherry’s Images on our associate photographer site. She has so much fantastic new work we couldn’t wait to get it up! So I hunkered down on Friday and got it all done. She’s such a sweetheart and is such a great shooter we’re so blessed to have her on our team. Check her out: michaelandannacosta.com/associates

Peggy + Kurt

Anna & I were recently blessed to shoot Peggy + Kirt’s wedding coordinated by the illustrious Jill LaFleur at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. Jill created some of the most delicious details I’ve seen at a wedding. I mean, just check out the bridesmaids bouquet - textured, simple, & beautiful. I wanted to show some images I normally don’t include on our website or blog posts of the ceremony & standard portraits. It’s funny but once and a while we get asked if we take standard portrait shots because people aren’t seeing them on our website. We love these shots & get them every wedding, but we usually lean towards showing the fine-art creative images that set us apart on our site & blog. I especially love our unique combination of fine-art photojournalism in these images as our darling bride Peggy was having the time of her life! We loved Peggy + Kirt because they were full of life & style.
