Pamela and Chris. E-session

derek — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:53:50 +0000

Pamela and Chris are tying the knot at The Purple Orchid Inn Wine Country Resort and Spa in Livermore, CA in August and after spending an afternoon photographing the couple I have to say I am already excited about their big day. Not only did they look great together, but they both have such amazing characters, and it was not hard to figure out that they both live life to the fullest everyday. I don’t think everyone can say that. Pamela and Chris, it truly was a joy and we will look forward to your upcoming party, hope you enjoy a few of the many hundreds of images taken.
Cheers -Derek

Meet baby Emmanual, this little guy is always smiling and laughing, and with his good looks and his wonderful family he has a lot to smile about, that is for sure. Emmanual had a very busy day, not only did he get baptized he also threw one great party for his friends and family. Lots of food, dancing, gifts and cake, what more could a kid ever want.

To all of Emmanual’s family thank you for having Rhi and I part of your day, enjoy a few of the images and slideshow here.

kat+simon.eloped!

After Kat’s brother’s big production of a wedding, Kat and Simon decided to elope, coming by way of Sydney, Australia. I can totally empathize as sometimes you just want to do something personal, just the two of you… and I love an impulse decision too! They decided to get kitchy and tie the knot in Vegas, complete with Elvis at the little ceremony for two at the Graceland Chapel. Since I wouldn’t be allowed to shoot the ceremony (chapels got rules!), we took a little tour around Vegas, ending up at tried and true downtown LV.
Such a cool couple, we had a blast. They were so all over each other and having fun with the whole experience, it was not work at all, just hanging out, taking some pics, drinking a couple of good good brews (thanks Simon!)
I hope they love their Vegas elopement pics as much as I had making them!

rena+sean.the las vegas portraits

Rena and Sean are in Vegas direct from S. Korea. Rena, being a graduate of UNLV, knows her way around Vegas and is showing her new husband around town. And while they were at it, got a portrait session to make make up for their engagement session, that never was. I loved showing them around downtown Vegas, which has changed so much in the five years Rena has been gone.
They were so much fun to spend time with and having them play together and making some images. Digs style is way different than the more traditional style back home for them. I hope they’re excited to show everyone back home something different. I hope they love love love their photos! Enjoy all!

Alicia and Miles. E-session California Style

derek — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:53:25 +0000

Alicia and Miles are tying the knott next year at The Purple Orchid Wine Country Resort and Spa, in Livermore CA, and Rhi and I had the privilege of photographing their engagement session. Not only was the December weather absolutely perfect, but the leaves had not yet fallen on many of the surrounding vineyards, which made for some spectacular backdrops. And what can I say about this awesome couple, not only did they look great in front of the camera, but they were a blast to hang out with. Enjoy a few of the images.
Cheers – Derek

Heather and Paul and their adorable pooch Maya joined me for a chilly but fun little walk through Lake Las Vegas for their e-session last week. They were so great together. I think they spend as much time time this close together even without a camera on them.
Keep an eye out for the wedding… coming soon enough… when it’s much warmer out! In the meantime, enjoy some of my favorite pics from our afternoon.

Laurie and Ralph’s wedding was an awesome story… Just about 90 days prior to the big day they had met in Cabo. After a whirlwind romance they decided to take the plunge. Family plays such an important role in this day and their lives. For Ralph’s family, straight from the farm in Kansas, it was for some the first time they’ve left… their first place to visit, Vegas… whoa, culture shock! The family came together for Thanksgiving and rolled it into one great party.
I couldn’t take a bad photo of the beautiful Laurie and her relationship with her handsome brother with cerebral palsy, Brent, lent to some beautiful moments to capture, including a special dance with his girlfriend Sarah.
Great times and a great way to go out for the year! Hope ya’ll enjoy some of the moments from their big day. Enjoy!

Let’s be honest… “natural” settings, as we are often requested for e-sessions, are few and far between in Las Vegas… and so we’re pretty grateful for places like Calico Basin, Red Rock Canyon in fall time. The fall colors were vibrant on a Sunday morning and it was a perfect time for some intimate moments at Kim and Dan’s photo session.
These two were natural and fun in front of the camera and I’m honored to be a part of their big day… coming up real soon! Expect some beautiful Digs weddings this spring!

Rob, Randi & little Parker. Las Vegas Portrait Photography

derek — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 22:08:15 +0000

Digs Studio has been privileged to be a part of one of the valley’s great organization over the past few years, Candlelighters, and the entire studio definitely receives much more than we could possibly give from this organization. Through the organization we have also had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, like Randi and Rob, and when the opportunity came to photograph their beautiful family we obviously could not wait. Their three year old daughter, Parker, was and is absolutely adorable and just full of fun and life, so it was not difficult getting a smile out of her. It was great just catching up with some of our great new friends Randi and Rob, thank you for the wonderful morning. Here are a few of the images from the day,enjoy!

Cheers, Rhiannon and Derek

I’m so proud of how far our filmmakers and photographers have come here at the studio. We keep trying to improve at every shoot to wow our clients and each other. Still, there’s only so far you can go without our clients, who really make the shots what they are. Stephanie and John followed me down the long path to the Jean lake bed for their e-session. It could not have been a more perfect day or a better shoot… a few beers, a long expanse of desert and some good light… my idea of a good time!
Stay tuned for Steph and John’s wedding (only a few months away)… Enjoy everybody!

oh… I stuck this last one in there for kicks… my last shot of the day playing with my shutter on the way out… some fine art for the wall… sweet!
