Colorful Downtown Las Vegas Vow Renewal | Emma & Brian

Jan 1, 2023

Emma & Brian got married over zoom in the thick of the pandemic, and after 11 years together, they really wanted to throw a wild party to celebrate their love (and their 2 years of marriage). Las Vegas was the obvious choice to get together their best friends, throw on some glamorous outfits and hit the town. The only thing hotter than their looks was the actual weather (being that it was the middle of July in Vegas). But the heat didn't stop anyone from having a good time! Check out their wedding film below!

Emma & Brian not only hired us to capture the day, but help them plan it from locations, timing, menus and transportation. It really helps get the best photos & video when we get to help plan out the day and time everything to be perfect for lighting and flow purposes. There is nothing we understand more than how important the day is to flow so that the bride and groom get to actually have fun and get to enjoy their guests while ALSO getting the photos & video that they dream of!

We started our day with some photos downtown, which never disappoints. The lights, the colors, Vegas really puts on a show and makes for the best wedding photo backdrop! Then we met up with all their guests at the Sure Thing chapel for a ceremony... and a surprise! If there is one thing that screams VEGAS WEDDING... it's a showgirl burlesque show! If you want to wow your 21+ vegas wedding party, this is definitely the way to go! Afterwards we headed over to Peyote, a fun and colorful south american fusion resutaurant located in the Fergusons downtown. They had the entire patio booked out which made for a really special and intimate experience, with amazing family style food, endless craft cocktails and great atmosphere. Afterwards, Emma & Brian headed out to party the night away!

Stylish Scottish Elopement At The Sure Thing Chapel in Las Vegas

Dec 31, 2022

Being a wedding photographer means you get to meet a lot of different people, but being a wedding photographer in Las Vegas means you get to meet couples from all over the world. Jodie & Craig travelled all the way from Scotland to get married in Las Vegas, and we were lucky enough to get to be their friends, witnesses and photographers that day! Below is their video - which was just so much fun to get to capture and edit together for them!

Their day started in their hotel room, as most do... but with a twist! First looks are always so funny when the couple is eloping and staying in the room together because while Jodie was getting her hair and makeup done, Craig was banished to the bathroom. We showed up, set up a little studio with a backdrop in their hotel room, and got to work. We only had a few minutes to capture what we needed because hair and makeup was an hour behind... another reason to book that early because HMU is always the #1 reason weddings run behind.

After that we headed to the chapel for an intimate ceremony at the Sure Thing Chapel. For those who haven't heard, there is a new chapel on the block. We've been getting to capture elopements there for about 2 years now and it's definitely for those couples who want something really special and intimate. It's cute, kitschy, pink, and actually runs on schedule LOL.

After that, we headed out to eat all together. We don't often get to hang out with our couples, but since Jodie had booked the chapel for earlier in the day, we definitely had some time to kill before golden hour, so we had suggested we take a little break and get a quick bite to eat. It was so much fun to get to celebrate with them and enjoy the amazing food at Carson Kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas!

After that, we headed back out for some amazing golden hour portraits, featuring our favorite rooftop parking garage that makes it look like the entire Vegas skyline has been lit up gold! Nothing quite it, being above the noise of the city, with the entire place to ourselves and perfect weather. Truly a Vegas treat!

Glam Elopement At The Little White Chapel | Andrea & Stephen

Dec 29, 2022

Andrea & Stephen, like most of our couples, wanted a simple day to themselves before surprising their family with the news of their elopement and having a big party back home. So we spent the evening with them around Vegas capturing some magic! We started at the little white wedding chapel, located on Las Vegas BLVD for a simple ceremony with Elvis as the officiant. To celebrate, we headed to our favorite local dive bar for a celebratory drink! Bonus, the game was on and Stephen was loving it!

After that, we headed downtown to capture some more amazing photos of them under the neon lights, and some fun murals. It really is super special to get to capture so many amazing couples big day because even though we have our favorite spots for photos, they always turn out so different and amazing because every couple has their own unique style! Andrea's head scarf was not only practical, because she was riding around in a convertible all day, but also super cute and vintage, making my retro loving dreams come true. If you loved Andrea's perfect vintage hollywood waves, that's because she got ready at the Atomic Style Lounge in downtown Vegas, which is PERFECT for any vintage or retro loving bride. They seriously do such an amazing job!

These photos were all shot on digital, but edited to match our style and colors if we were shooting on film. That's why we edit in a very true to color style, to match our favorite film stocks so if you did add-on a film photography package to your wedding day, all your photos would be cohesive feel!
