My husband and I got officially engaged on the 4th of July, 2010 and started planning right away. It was then that we both started to panic. We were both excited about getting married, but the idea of the stress and expense of a wedding were jus too much for us. We decided to elope to Las Vegas. Yes, actually elope. We did not tell our family or friends and we are so happy we did. We were married only 3 weeks after we got engaged and had a wonderful wedding (just the two of us) and fabulous week long honeymoon at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas. Even though we eloped, we both really wanted very professional pictures to be able to show everyone, since they weren't able to be there. We were SO lucky to find Jeanna Hayes. I found her name on the Knot boards, but only because people were asking about her and then I found he website and I loved it. I am here to tell you that from the initial phone call and emails to getting the final pictures, it could not have gone better. She was great at communication, she made us feel relaxed on the day of our wedding and, most of all, the pictures are fantastic. They aren't just good, they are really fantastic. She did some "artistic edits" to some of the pictures (see the second on below) and then you can have her tweak others when you get the initial disc. I also like that she has her pricing on her website and you don't have to jump through hoops to get a pricing answer. Along those same lines, she is very cost effective. You can't really see them and you don't get the full effect since they are so small, but I went ahead and included a few of the shots we like.
