Christina + Bradley
An engagement, morning portraits, and a wedding day — documented as one story.
Lake Las Vegas · Red Rock · Bear's Best
I remember how open Christina and Bradley were with each other from the start.
​
From the first time I photographed them, there was an ease in the way they moved—emotionally available, quick to laugh, and fully present with one another. Nothing felt guarded. Their connection expanded outward, inviting the moment and the people around them in rather than holding anything back.
​
Spending time with them felt active in the best way—warm, responsive, and shared.
Engagement
The engagement session felt like the beginning of that outward movement.
​
As I photographed them, Christina and Bradley stayed in motion—walking, talking, laughing easily. Nothing felt posed or held for the camera. Their attention stayed with each other, and the moments unfolded naturally because of it.
​
What stood out to me was how expressive they were without trying to be. Emotion arrived quickly and honestly, without needing to be directed or shaped. The energy between them felt light, open, and immediate.
​
These images feel alive to me. They reflect a connection that does not hesitate or retreat, but meets each moment as it comes.
Morning Portraits
This time together felt quieter and more unstructured.
We met in the morning, without an agenda beyond being present. There was no buildup, no timeline to follow—just space to move slowly and settle into the day. As I photographed them, Christina and Bradley stayed close, talking easily, letting the moments arrive without steering them.
What stood out to me was how natural it felt. No posing for emphasis, no need to fill the silence. They moved through the space calmly, attentive to one another, comfortable letting the morning unfold as it was.
These portraits feel less like a session and more like a pause—time intentionally set aside, without ceremony, simply to be together.
Wedding Day
The wedding day brought everything outward.
​
From the start, emotion was visible and shared. Preparation felt intentional but relaxed, filled with anticipation rather than nerves. As I photographed throughout the day, I kept noticing how easily Christina and Bradley stayed connected—checking in with one another, laughing often, and welcoming the people around them into the experience.
​
During the ceremony, their expressions said everything. There was joy, yes, but also presence—a sense of being fully there, together, without distraction. Celebration followed naturally, not as a release, but as an extension of what had already been present.
​
Rather than trying to capture everything that happened, the photographs hold onto how the day felt to be inside—open, warm, and shared.
What stayed with me most was how freely Christina and Bradley gave themselves to the experience.
​
Their story is defined by openness—by a willingness to be seen, to feel deeply, and to move through each chapter together without holding back. Photographing their story felt like being welcomed into that openness, rather than observing it from the outside.
​
This story was photographed with that same spirit—allowing the moments to expand, connect, and remain exactly as they were.
