After weeks and weeks of organizing & countless Skype conversations with the rest of the LLV crew, it's all over!

Leavin' Las Vegas '08 has been and gone and everyone had an amazing time. The location, Spring Mountain Ranch, was simply beautiful and adding brides and models to the surroundings just made the scenery even more stunning.

I can't thank our guests enough for coming along and shooting with all the photographers - John Michael Cooper, Jason Groupp, Mike Fulton, Anne Ruthmann & David Beckstead.

It was also a wonderful experience to have met so many people that I've spoken to online or written emails to or received blog comments from. Two of which, Paul & I particularly enjoyed meeting, were Chris Stewart & David Baxter. David, it was so lovely to meet your family and that Bon Jovi magazine was the icing on the cake to my trip. You're one of the sweetest guys I've ever met! Chris, you rock - even more in person than you did in your emails!! I loved speaking to Jen and hope to meet her one day. And how can we forget Sarah Heinrich! Paul has to be your hugest fan and it was great to finally meet you!

Ross & Leysa, you're such an adorable couple! I hope you're enjoying the rest of your holiday and Leysa, thank you SO much for modeling for us at the Neon Museum.

I don't have the words to explain how fond Paul & I became to the LLV crew pictured below - Mark Eric, Tana Huffman & Jason Domingues. As soon as we met we all just seemed to click into place with each other and it is truly amazing to be able to call you all our friends. We miss you all so much and honestly cannot wait to see you again... either here in America or in Cyprus!!

Tana, you are a star! You were our "organizational" rock all the way through this and I can't thank you enough for everything you did. Saying goodbye to you was crazily hard despite only having met you for a few days.

Jason, I adore you to bits! You're like a magnet - people were just drawn to you all the way through the Vegas trip. That really is a special trait and just proves how lovely a guy you are! We loved every minute we spent with you and Allison!

Mark, without you none of this would have happened. You have opened so many doors for Paul & I and I hope you know just how appreciative we are that you invited us into the TTD & DBUI fold! Never stop dreaming big...

(I apologize for the lack of links to the names of the photographers - we're road-tripping and on our way out of the hotel room right now so I don't have time to look everyones' websites up but I'll add them as soon as I get the chance!)
