March 1, 2011I am a member of an online community of photographers called SWPB (greatest.group.ever.). One of the members, Kelly, said last week, her and her man were eloping in Vegas on Sunday of WPPI. It was from there organized by Christine (another photographer) that we would “flash mob” the wedding. Everyone & anyone who wanted to show up at the Bellagio was welcomed to shoot the wedding.
I tentatively planned to be part of this, but we had plans to see the Hoover Dam & weren’t sure how that would impact our afternoon. Lucky for us, we pulled on to the strip about 315…. wedding was scheduled for 4! Perfect, we can make it!!! I am SO glad we did.
We got to the designated spot a little early, Jeremy & I staked out facing opposite directions so we could spot them coming. Then we looked down & saw the groom standing with a few other SWPBers, we joined them…. and just in time…. there Kelly came!
We decided to pick a different spot for the ceremony, so we made our way down the sidewalk…. and the people around us started to chatter… “omg, they are getting married… we have to go watch!!” …. and they did! Kelly & Sean had quite the crowd surrounding them!
The wedding was sweet & short, lasting only a few moments.
Congratulations Kelly & Sean!!! It was so wonderful to be part of your day!
All of us….

I love her dress and shoes! Great shots – looks like a fun elopement.
Yay!!!! I really wish I could have been there, but I will see her when she gets back to Houston 🙂
Great job Jessica!
SWPB FTW! Great shots!
Wonderful! So simple and beautiful. Congratulations!
Awe, I totally wish we had thought to come out during WPPI instead of in August. Oh well.. I also wish I kept up with the forums more than I do. Yay for getting married in Vegas. These photos are super fun!
What a totally fun elopement! Yay for great photos! Yay for cute couples! Yay for SWPB! <3
so great to see these images – you did a great job (and i'm sure it was hard with so many other photogs in the area, probably getting in the frame!) 😉 congrats to them again and well done!
Congratulations Kelly! You look great!
I love these! I am so bummed I missed it. Totally fun idea and it was great they had so much SWPB love. awesome job.
These make me so happy, and it's nice to see some familiar faces! The real question I have is, who is going to get married when I can finally make it to SWPB.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really cool!!!!!!! Kelly looks so happy, and the images communicate the excitement and the crowd and the scene and the feel of Vegas. Just awesome.
So much fun! Love the spontaneous vibe with the gathering crowd. And her dress blues to match his 😉
Aw, these are great! Love seeing the storyboard of the ceremony in addition to the individual pics that have been posted. I also like that a huge pack of photographers with their gear gives "flash mob" a whole new meaning 🙂 Congrats to the happy couple!
Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL! <3 this.
YAY KELLY! These are awesome! I love the sequence of her walking up at the beginning.
Hooray! Very cool.

Oh I so wish I could have been in Vegas for Sean and Kelly! Beautiful coverage!
As the Mom of the Groom and Mother in law of the Bride– Thanks for participating and sharing the wedding. We felt totally involved—- the photos are outstandings– really enbraced their love for each other. Thank you!
