NJ NYC Wedding Photography by New Jersey Wedding Photographer team 1314 Studio.

Ok, so we have been very very behind. After the last post about the 2010 weddingwire Bride’s Choice Award, we have received a surge of emails and we have been going to meetings back and forth. We posted up new engagement and wedding pictures in our wedding photography website, but we haven’t been able to blog about them. In the midst of all that, we’re working on new website design and new 2010 wedding photography package.

So…we went to Las Vegas for 3 days. Because the time restriction and work schedule, we were only able to explore three casinos in the entire Vegas strip. Yup, only three: the newly open Aria in Citycenter, Palazzo Venetian, and Wynn.  We regret not going to the Caesars Palace mall for some shopping madness and to the Vegas strip for some cool HDR shot. Next wedding in Las Vegas, we will be sure not to miss out on the fun and excitement of Sin City and all the cool places like Bellagio, Caesars Palace, MGM, Paris, Planet Hollywood and many more. For brides and grooms, we have to say Las Vegas is no doubt an awesome wedding destination for some kick-ass wedding and engagement photography.

First up, the hotel suite in Aria Hotel & Casino in Citycenter. 54th floor up offers a beautiful view of the Vegas strip.

Some luxurious cakes in the Aria Citycenter shops…

Yes, we had to take many many pictures of all these delicious and unique deserts. They are irresistible. Other than wedding cakes and cup cakes, I think these delectable treats will be super for any types of  Las Vegas wedding.

An unofficial Las Vegas buffet review: compared to the Wynn buffet ($34 weekday, $38 weekend), Aria buffet in Citycenter is only $27. Although they offer less choice than that of Wynn’s, but it’s definitely not bad for all the food you get, including jumpo cocktail shrimps, crab legs and assortment of hot dishes.

Citycenter Las Vegas reminded us of a miniature version of the modern section in Beijing, with irregular shaped all-glasses architectures and posh interiors. Its shopping mall, The Crystals, is rocking with high-end fashion style with the world’s most luxurious brand names you can think of: Hermes, Cartier, etc. With no time to spare, we snapped a few pictures and went to fill up our hungry tummies after check-in.

We also had the chance to stop by downtown Las Vegas for few photos with the clients.

Our favorite location Wynn. The interior decoration is elegant, fantasy, royalty and vintage. For future brides, Wynn is definitely one of our top choice for Las Vegas luxury wedding venue.

Last few details of Las Vegas. We will save more awesomeness of this Sin City in our next Vegas wedding.
