About Vegas is Visual Arts

Vegas Is Visual Arts (VIVA) — Capturing Moments, Creating Memories Vegas Is Visual Arts is more than just a photography company — we are a husband-and-wife team with a passion for storytelling through imagery. Founded by Derek and Kimberly Hayes, VIVA is a veteran-owned, family-operated business dedicated to turning life’s unforgettable moments into cinematic keepsakes. From the glow of the Las Vegas Strip to private celebrations, weddings, and milestone events, our mission is simple: to make every client feel like the star of their own movie. We specialize in professional photography, videography, drone coverage, photo booths, and 360 video booths. Every service we offer is designed with one goal in mind — to transform fleeting moments into timeless memories. Our Story Derek, an Army veteran with a sharp eye for detail and leadership experience, pairs his technical skill with Kimberly’s natural creativity and artistic direction. Together, we bring balance, teamwork, and dedication to every project. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a thriving business, trusted by families, couples, schools, and event venues across Las Vegas. What Sets Us Apart Las Vegas is one of the most photographed cities in the world, but VIVA stands out because we bring more than just a camera to the table. We bring energy, precision, and personality. We don’t just take photos — we guide you, encourage candid moments, and bring out the best angles in every shot. Clients often tell us they feel comfortable and confident in front of our lens, even if they usually dislike being photographed. We also combine a wide range of services under one roof.
