The Resurgence of 35mm Film:

In an era dominated by digital photography, the timeless allure of 35mm film is making a strong comeback. Couples are increasingly drawn to the authentic, nostalgic, and romantic aesthetic that film photography provides. The grain, soft tones, and natural feel of film create a unique and timeless look that perfectly complements the intimate atmosphere of elopements. As a Las Vegas elopement photographer, we offer film as an option in our packages to cater to couples seeking a classic touch for their special day.


Super 8mm Video for Nostalgic Vibes:

Video has become an integral part of documenting weddings, and in 2024, Super 8mm is stealing the spotlight. This vintage film format adds a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of old home movies, creating a dreamy and cinematic feel. Couples are embracing the idea of not just capturing still moments but also reliving their elopement through the enchanting motion of Super 8mm film. We have been ahead of the times with this trend, shooting super8mm for the last few years to set us apart as Las Vegas elopement photographers with a keen eye for the romantic and nostalgic.


A Burst of Color with Vibrant Florals:

Gone are the days of muted and pastel color palettes. In 2024, couples are opting for bold and vibrant floral arrangements to add a burst of energy to their elopements. From bouquets to ceremony backdrops, colorful florals are stealing the show. Think rich reds, deep blues, and vibrant yellows, creating a visually stunning backdrop against the iconic Las Vegas landscapes. As a photographer, we love getting the opportunity to capture these vivid bursts of color to help highlight the beauty of the day but also create visually striking images that will stand the test of time.


Blend of Modern and Classic Aesthetics:

2024 elopements in Las Vegas are witnessing a beautiful blend of modern and classic aesthetics. Couples are incorporating contemporary elements into traditional settings, creating a unique fusion of styles. As a photographer, this trend allows us to play with contrasts, capturing the timeless charm of classic elopements against the backdrop of the dynamic and modern Las Vegas landscape.


As a Las Vegas elopement film photographer, embracing and understanding these 2024 trends opens up exciting opportunities to create timeless and captivating memories for couples. Whether it's the charm of 35mm film, the nostalgic allure of Super 8mm video, or the vibrant explosion of colorful florals, staying attuned to these trends helps us gear our couples to the best vendors for their elopements and also ensures that our clients' elopements are nothing short of magical. As the year unfolds, we can't wait to explore and incorporate these trends into our photography, offering couples a truly unique and unforgettable experience on their special day.




XOXO, BRAZEN HONEY

Elopements in Las Vegas are a unique and exciting way to celebrate love, and as an elopement photographer, you play a crucial role in capturing those special moments. One of the most common questions couples have when planning their elopement is, "How much does wedding photography cost?" In this blog, we'll dive into the factors that influence the cost of hiring a Las Vegas elopement photographer, helping you understand what to expect when investing in this essential service.

Photographer's Experience and Skill Level:

The experience and skill level of your elopement photographer can significantly impact the cost of their services. Established photographers with a strong portfolio and years of experience often charge higher rates. They bring expertise, creativity, and the ability to handle unexpected situations, ensuring your elopement photos turn out beautifully.

Package Inclusions:

Elopement photography packages can vary widely in terms of what's included. Some photographers offer basic packages with limited hours of coverage and digital files, while others provide comprehensive packages that may include engagement sessions, additional photographers, printed albums, and more. The more extensive the package, the higher the cost is likely to be.

Location and Travel:

Las Vegas offers a multitude of unique and picturesque elopement locations, from the iconic Las Vegas Strip to stunning desert landscapes. If you plan to elope in a remote or out-of-town location, your photographer may charge additional fees to cover travel expenses and accommodation, places close to Las Vegas like Joshua Tree, Death Valley, or even Lake Powell elopements often have extra cost for travel, but you are saving overall by having a more intimate wedding or elopement.

Duration of Coverage:

The amount of time your photographer spends capturing your elopement will affect the cost. Some couples prefer a shorter coverage period that may include only the ceremony and a few photos afterwards, while others want full-day coverage to document every moment, from getting ready to the reception. Discuss your timeline with your photographer to determine the right amount of coverage for your needs.

Editing and Post-Production:

After capturing your elopement, photographers spend hours in post-production, editing and retouching your photos to ensure they look their best. The complexity of editing and the number of images delivered can influence the overall cost. High-quality editing is essential for creating stunning, timeless photos.

Equipment and Backup:

Professional photographers invest in high-quality camera gear and backup equipment to ensure they can capture your elopement even in unexpected situations. This investment contributes to their pricing but guarantees reliability on your special day. You can also think of additional costs like editing software, fast computers that can handle the RAW files and even 4k video editing, website host, CRMs, and more that cost to run a successful photography business.

Film Photography

Some photographers offer more than digital photography, but add on or shoot your entire elopement on film. Film has an added cost to purchase each roll and then to have them developed and scanned in at high resolution so you can then in turn print them. There are also the expertise that comes with film photographers who truly understand lighting and exposure and trust their skill to know they captured your most important moments and won't be able to see them for a few weeks. Today, anyone can pick up a camera or even iphone and take a good picture, it's instant gratification. But film photography is the opposite of that, and takes lots of skill and knowledge to be able to shoot an entire wedding day on film.

Final Thoughts... When planning your Las Vegas elopement, remember that wedding photography is an investment in preserving your cherished memories for a lifetime. The cost of hiring a photographer reflects their skill, experience, and the quality of service they provide. Be sure to communicate openly with potential photographers, discussing your budget and expectations to find the right fit for your elopement. Ultimately, the value of capturing your love story in beautiful photographs is priceless, and choosing the right photographer will ensure your memories are preserved in a way that you'll treasure forever.
