One cannot help but admire the slow, simmering romance between Taylor and Rob, which blossomed into an undeniable love affair. This Orange County couple, introduced by mutual friends, navigated the journey from platonic companionship to a wildly romantic love story filled with the kind of affection and attention to detail that fairytales are made of.

Taylor, with her hands skilled in the art of luxury hair styling and extensions, creates beauty in every strand she touches, while Rob, with his travel and marketing business, crafts journeys and experiences that transcend the ordinary. It’s no wonder that their life together is one marked by the allure of new places, the comfort of their little dog Copper, and the promise of adventure that only a city like Las Vegas can hold.

Their engagement session captured in the elegance of a plus villa at Wynn and Encore speaks volumes of their affinity for the finer things in life. Each image, a tapestry of their love story, tells the tale of two hearts intertwined in friendship, love, and trust. The way that Rob helps Taylor dress, clasping her necklace and gazing from across the room, shows how deeply he adores her. Taylor, dressed in delicate fabrics and a cocktail dress named after her, is stunning set against the sparkle of Las Vegas—the city where their platonic relationship turned toward a lifetime commitment during an impromptu trip.

As they plan their Las Vegas wedding, one can only imagine the grandeur that awaits. Known for their fashion-forward sensibilities and their fondness for the city's electrifying essence—the gambling, shopping, and world-class entertainment—their celebration will certainly mirror the vibrancy and luxury they and the city embody.

Taylor and Rob’s experience begins with their engagement photo. The Wynn and Encore are their home away from home while in Las Vegas, which is why we staged the photo shoot in one of their exclusive villas. As a highly sought-after beauty expert, Taylor’s glam was very important. We brought in Andrew St. Andrew for makeup and his counterpart, Rich the Stylist, for hair. While we started with the two-piece outfit Taylor wore to their actual engagement, most of our photos were taken in his custom Walter’s Collection mini. Taylor was the first to ever try on this sample. When he saw her in it, the designer, Walter Mendez, asked if he could name it after her. She, of course, said yes, and we bought the dress immediately!

As much as we love these incredibly glam photos, some of my favorite images are the ones that Taylor and Rob didn’t pose for. The voyeuristic snaps taken through the bathroom door as Rob helped Taylor get dressed, the way he helped her put on her jewelry and the way they playfully laughed and teased one another while she was in her robe, prompting a quick boudoir session at the end of our day.

We will produce a weekend celebration that is more than a wedding; it promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience set to unfold this September. With details shrouded in delightful mystery, anticipation for their big day is building with their family and friends and in the wedding community.

Keep your eyes on this space, for this is not just a union of hearts; it is an event that promises to encapsulate the very essence of what makes love a luxury—a testament to the life and legacy that Taylor and Rob are building, one exhilarating moment at a time.

Leave Taylor and Rob a love note below.
