{Lady Luck on the Frontier}




The honeymoon ended in Vegas, which is where our story begins... Chase is a welder living in Las Vegas, Shalesa a hairstylist and lover of vintage things, living in St. George until they move to Wyoming to live on a ranch... because Chase is also a cowboy.

Vintage Chic, Cowboy and Vegas, now that's a recipe for a good time!
We left early for Vegas, it was Me, Bryce and my friend Donna. We met them down on Fremont. Shalesa was abosolutely stunning, she has classic features, perfect smile and flawless skin, and if it couldn't get any better, she had the sweetest shoes ever! Chase cleans up pretty nice himself, he was rockin' those sweet cowboy boots.. they both have a really cool style. We were all loving the old school casinos... sadly there was no flying Elvis on this trip but there was "Glitter-Fab Santa", he rolled up in his pimped out wheelchair to see who could possibly be more interesting to photograph than himself... it was a toss up, so we let him join in for a second, before we quickly gave him the boot {or maybe Chase scared him off with the crazy snake eye} Get back to the North Pole Santa , it's nowhere near Christmas... you've still got work to do slacker!


The Fremont experience was definitely worth it but we were dying to see Chase's shop...
They are in the process of moving it too so they had a lot of random items laying around, some furniture that got left behind and machinery that created fire...If you have never been to a welder's shop {i cant imagine anyone who hasn't} you're missing out... for us it was like being kids in a candy store... but better, this candy store has anvils... excellent!




Chase and Shalesa, thank you so much for sharing your day and a bit of quarky comedy with us.. You both really were so amazing to work with and i hate to see you move away, we're going to miss you guys. you have to send me a picture of you on a horse though Shalesa, you're going to love it! so lucky lady, you got your cowboy now go ahead and ride off into the sunset...
