A couple of weeks back two very good friends of mine Todd and Alyda decided to renew their vows after 10 years of marriage, they decided to do this in Las Vegas at a tiny little chapel with a small intimate group of good friends. Elvis was also there. It just so happens that Todd and Alyda are amazing wedding photographers themselves, did I mention that every guest at the wedding was also a wedding photographer? It all started off pretty light hearted until the vows between Todd and Alyda were shared…. No word of a lie, the most beautiful vows I have ever heard. Below is my take on the day, you can also see some of the wonderful Samm Blake’s photo’s here and some of the dashing gent Jonas Peterson’s pictures here. Enjoy!

Oh Dan.... seriously. Holy freakin' crap!! I've seen a number of images from Todd & ALyda's wedding now but these are the first ones that actually made me tear up (and laugh a lot too). Thats caused by at least 1 part being a soppy girl and 2 parts Dan's brilliance. Love them!

It's pretty obvious that these are awesome. But I have to comment on the amount of uncle bobs with cameras at this one. Man, you did well to keep them at bay :P Great set. Gorgeous couple. Wish I could have been there!
