Desert Elopement outside of Las Vegas on Film

Desert Elopement Film on Super 8mm

Poppy & Martin travelled all the way from the UK to elope in the desert outside of Las Vegas. We picked them up on the strip before heading out the dry lake bed for a sunset ceremony & golden hour photos. They wanted their entire wedding shot on film, so we captured their video on super8mm and their photos on 35mm. It was such a windy day but we lucked out we didn't get a crazy dust storm! After their ceremony, we headed back to the hotel room where they changed and cut the cutest little heart shaped wedding cake. After that we headed to downtown Las Vegas for some more photos and drinks under the neon lights of Fremont! It was a truly magic day!

Watch their super8mm wedding film below!

Their elopement photos were shot on 35mm film, it was just amazing to get to capture their entire wedding day on film. Something so nostalgic and timeless about it!

XOXO,

Brazen Honey

Tequila Sunset | Grace & David Desert Boho Elopement

Super 8mm Wedding Video

Grace & David, Detroit born and raised, decided that they wanted something different for their wedding. When planning a wedding in Vegas, there are some tough choices our couples often face, do they go full on Vintage Vegas and have Elvis officiate, or go a little more classy and opt for a gorgeous desert ceremony location? Well we sure are glad Grace & David opted to have us capture their special day because it was an unmatched level of epic-ness that occurred.

Their wedding was the 4 year anniversary of their first blind date - how much more special could it get?! From having their entire families bussed out to the desert, to the sunset tequila shots, it was pure bliss if I do say so myself. There is nothing quite like having the entire desert to yourself to play, enjoy, and bask under the sun, especially on your wedding day! They followed up their sunset desert ceremony with a fun reception at Cabo Wabo on the strip. If you are wanting to have the best of both worlds, meaning a desert ceremony but still party the night away in Vegas, trust us, you CAN do both!

The ceremony was coordinated by us, with help planning location and timeline, and the gorgeous florals were designed by Lucid Juliet , who took their incredible artistic skills to create this gorgeous fall, pampas, boho yet Glam floral installation and the bouquet.

XOXO BRAZEN HONEY

Vintage Vegas Elopement at Cactus Joe's Nursery \\ Elopement Videographers

Natalie & Ben's elopement story is one for the books! After having to postpone their destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico, they decided to fly across the country from NY to Vegas to elope. And when I say elope, I mean it in the traditional sense of the word... it was a total secret from EVERYONE they knew! They had the most beautiful little ceremony planned, just them two saying "I do" in front of the cutest pink chapel at Cactus Joe's Nursery in Blue Diamond, Nevada, and a handful of strangers. Luckily we got to be two of those strangers, but by the end of the night we were all fast friends! Nothing brings people together than spending one of the biggest days of their lives together!

It was a wild day forsure, they booked us for their elopement only the day before, but I am so thankful that we had the day open (the only one we had all month!) and were able to capture their elopement because it was a day I will never forget! I am excited to share this video because it is slightly different than our other videos. Natalie really wanted a film look, with real super 8mm film, but unfortunately we didn't have any on hand. So we shot the entire day on digital and really used the power of editing to give their film that vintage feel. Every aspect of their day had that elegant and vintage vibe, from her dress, shoes and hair, to the vintage convertible. Being able to really understand what our client wants and editing their film to their unique style is something we really pride ourselves on. We are no cookie cutter wedding videographers, every film is edited for hours on end to really tell the story of the couple. No two love stories are the same, just as no two wedding films are the same.

For those interested in booking us for their wedding, you have come to the right place to learn a little bit more about our process. We are wedding videographers in Las Vegas, meaning we get tons of elopements like Nat & Ben's, but we also get many larger weddings. If you are looking for someone to just show up, put a camera on a tripod and press record, we are not the videographers for you. We really get to know you before the day, and go above and beyond to tell your story. We spend a lot of time finding the PERFECT song, getting the colors right, and making sure the shots we choose really make you feel something when you watch the film. Our goal is to make someone who has never met our couples be able to watch their wedding film and "get the feels", if you will. I have your vows memorized by the time we are done with the edit, and I could recite every word when I watch it. That's how into the editing process we get, because we really care about you and your love story.
