Engagement Photos - Las Vegas - makeup/photographer recommendations

Jessica, on January 12, 2020 at 10:03 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 8
We went to Vegas last weekend for a birthday party and got our engagement photos done and checked out where we will be getting married. We also checked out things we can do for our wedding weekend. It was so nice to finally meet our photographer. It seems as if she is an old friend. She made us feel very comfortable. We got up early in the morning to get some shots done at Red Rock Canyon just 15-20 minutes outside of Las Vegas.


I had heels on but it got to be a pain in the butt changing from tennis shoes to heels, so I just kept the tennis shoes on. Haha. It worked.
Our photographer is karissaruss.co, she works out of Las Vegas. She's very professional and works quickly and efficiently. We took these pics in the morning and she had the pics edited and uploaded onto her site by dinner that night!!! She's a beast.
I got my makeup done by makeup702 also out of Las Vegas. Elena was my artist. She was very detailed oriented. Everyone's skin is different so she warned me ahead of time about how airbrushed makeup can react differently on skin as the day progresses. Of course my skin didn't like the airbrush, but this happened later in the day. She already has a plan for wedding day to ensure it does not happen. That is why it is important to do a trial prior to the wedding. She is very sweet and truly wants you to be happy on your special day! She even comes to your hotel.
I did my own hair. I wasn't quite feeling how the front was looking that morning and really had no clue what to do, so I ended up just doing a little bun. It was just okay, but i doubt i would do a hair trial even if I had to do it over again. I had just gotten micro link curly extensions a few days prior and really didn't have time to mess or work with them. So I would've gotten the extensions maybe a week or so before so I had time to play around with them.

    Your photos turned out great? Who is your photographer? We are Vegas locals and are getting married here. I had my hair and makeup trail with Makeup in 702 Friday - they are lovely ladies!

    Thank you!!!

    What stylist is doing your hair? I'm getting mine done for the wedding. Did you have the airbrush foundation? How did your skin react?
    Karissa is not only an amazing photographer that captures candid moments, she's also a lovely person. The package I got came with a complimentary engagement session. On wedding day she has an assistant that also helps.

    Freedom did my hair and Annie did my makeup. I usually have very sensitive skin and didn’t have any issues with the products she used. She did airbrush foundation. Here’s a photo. Engagement Photos - Las Vegas - makeup/photographer recommendations 7
    That’s awesome that your photo session was complimentary. Seems very common for the all all inclusive venues in Vegas. Our venue’s preferred photographer also does complimentary engagement photos at the venue or we had the option to upgrade for a small fee. We upgraded & paid for the full photo rights.
