Las Vegas Wedding Photographer 10

’80s-style, Vegas wedding reception FTW!

At a Glance

Lance and Cindy had a lovely little church ceremony and then it was time to PARTAY 1980s-style. We’re talking Madonna-inspired wedding dress, tight zebra-striped pants, heavy metal music and, well, you gotta see it to believe it.

Las Vegas Wedding Photographer 10The moment I saw this photo pop up on our Flickr pool I was like WHOAMYGOD, I must know the story behind this! So I got in touch with photographer Michele Bekcwith, and she gave me the scoop. Can I just say, Las Vegas ’80s wedding reception FTW!?

Las Vegas Wedding Photographer 5Their first dance was to Chicago’s You’re My Inspiration, played by their awesome band The Downstrokes, who then went on to play the best hair metal ballads and new wave classics of the decade.

To see more radical photos, head over to Michele Beckwith’s blog — they’re unbelievable! And I also have Michele hounding Lance and Cindy to fill out a bride profile. Fingers crossed!

    OMG YES!! I love the pic of them walking out together, her giving a high five and looking like she just stepped out of the November Rain video, him throwing up the horns and looking like Slash. I wish I could have gone to this, I know it had to have been ultra fun 🙂
