You may remember Darren LeBlanc from previous posts where his daughter Olivia was my flower girl, the Anthem of Hope shoot I did a while back or just some great pictures we shot when I first bought my new place. Either that or you know his from his infamous blog, http://www.leblanclife.com/ where he blogged through the struggle of losing his wife, Misty, to brain cancer.
But if you really know Darren, you know what a great man of faith that he is and that despite devastating circumstances he was able to hold onto Truth and let God lead his life and because of that, he has been healed and able to love again.
And that's where Rob and I come in!
Darren is a schemer and if he's going to do something important, he's going to do it right and do it big. So when he knew he wanted to marry his girlfriend, Kristin, he thought up an amazing way to do it!
Kristin is a big time Bette Midler fan and has always wanted to see her in concert, but she only performs in Las Vegas and her last show is on January 30th. So, for her birthday, Darren arranged to fly out with her to Las Vegas to see the show and then catch the red eye back that night! What Kristin didn't know, was that Darren also arranged to Rob and I to be on the flight as well to photo and video him proposing to her mid flight!
I'll let Rob's video PhVusion and my images tell the rest of the story, because I think story are better told through visuals. I will let you know, though, that Darren's big proposal didn't stop once we hit the ground. Since Kristin lived in California for a few years, one of her best friends lives there. Darren surprised Kristin by having her best friend waiting there at baggage claim when we arrived! After that, Darren and Kristin went off to the salon where he had an appointment set up so they could get all dolled up to take their engagement pictures/video in Vegas!
Rob and I had an amazing time touring through the streets of Vegas, up and down the strip to Caesar's Palace, The Venetian and The Ballagio, and even to the older part of Vegas like Fremont Street. Darren and Kristin were so great to work with and we really couldn't have had a better place to shoot! There's some amazing stuff here so definitely take a look!! You can also read Darren's story about it here on his blog.
Next up...the wedding May 23rd!!!
