Summer Elopement at The Little White Wedding Chapel

Danika & Jared booked some last minute flights to tie the knot in Vegas after realizing that planning a wedding was ruining the idea of getting married. Like most of our couples, they really just wanted to enjoy the moment, and get to spend the day with each other. We were excited we had the day available so we got to capture the day for them!

We met up at the Little white wedding chapel on Las Vegas BLVD where they had their closest friend and family witness their ceremony. Nothing beats Elvis' iconic pink Cadillac, the Kitschy chapel, and the buzz of summertime elopements in Las Vegas.

After the ceremony we headed downtown to capture some more photos around sunset. Our favorite elopement "timeline" for the quickie 2 hour elopement is to meet at the chapel about 2 hours before sunset. Then we can have about an hour at the chapel for the ceremony and any other photos around before heading to another spot for golden hour. Then you get the best of both worlds, and finish up your session right as the sun sets before heading out to celebrate the night away! And when it comes to summer elopements in Las Vegas, it's so hot out that any more than 2 hours just gets to be too much for everyone.

Although elopements are traditionally last minute, since Vegas is the elopement capital of the world, we find people booking us 1-2 years in advance for their "elopement", especially for our international couples who can't just book a last minute trip all the way across the world. So the months of March, April, May, September and October get booked up far in advance. But when it comes to the summer, we find to have more openings to the last minute elopements like this! So if you aren't really a planner, the best time to elope might just be summer if you want a weekend date - but if you are keen for a Tuesday wedding (or any weekday date), then you can have your pick of the litter any time of the year :)

Lizzy & Ivan // Classy & Modern Vegas Elopement

Lizzy & Ivan decided to ditch the large Houston Wedding when things were just getting too stressful and expensive and thought, "Why not Elope in Vegas?!". They turned their wedding into an awesome trip full of fancy dinners and shows, and best of all saved thousands by getting to make their wedding day about themselves and do whatever they wanted. I'm not trying to sell you on the Vegas Elopement trend, but I will say every couple we get the honor to spend the day with all say the same thing... "Best decision ever!"

If that wasn't enough proof, Vegas is also one of the COOLEST places to get married. You have endless opportunities for the coolest (or cutest) photo ops from colorful murals to neon lights, bonus if you rent a vintage car like ours to drive around the strip at night!

Lizzy & Ivan's day started with a first look in front of a historic building in Downtown Vegas, before heading over to the little white wedding chapel for a simple ceremony. After that we headed around to explore Fremont street for some golden hour portraits before a night time drive in the 1966 convertible mustang down Las Vegas BLVD at night. After we dropped them off at the Bellagio for a fancy celebratory dinner at Lago!

If you might be thinking, wow this wedding we are planning is getting really expensive. then eloping might just be for you!

XOXO

Tequila Sunset | Grace & David Desert Boho Elopement

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.
