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!

Rock & Roll Downtown Las Vegas Elopement

Paulina & Kenneth reached out to us for their Vegas elopement the week before they headed out from LA to tie the knot. That is the beauty of Las Vegas weddings, some are planned for nearly two years, and others barely two days. We love it when we are available and get to just run around our favorite city with an awesome couple like Paulina and Kenneth to make them some memories of such a special day.

We started at the iconic Little White Wedding Chapel for their ceremony and some photos before heading around downtown to capture some fun photos in front of the mural walls and neon lights. It seems like everything on the strip or downtown would be very close, but in reality some things can be over 3o minutes away (because of traffic). So the Las Vegas sign and the little white wedding chapel can be pretty far away if there is any traffic, so sometimes when we want to stay downtown and not drive all over town we love to get photos in front of the of this epic Las Vegas mural by Greetings Tour to document their time in the city, kind of like a fun postcard! Then we headed down onto Fremont street to capture some epic shots under the neon lights. Then Paulina & Kenneth headed off to an intimate dinner at a fancy steakhouse and we went home and couldn't wait to start editing! Sometimes our weddings are full 12 hour days, and other times it's quick 2 hours and we love each and every one of the weddings that we get to be part of no matter what they may look like!

XOXO,

Glam & Vintage Desert Engagement Photos

Madison & Ricky planned their epic Vegas elopement - but with us being here in Las Vegas and them being based in LA, we didn't have the chance to do some engagement photos before their wedding (well months before haha). So when they came our a few days early, we headed out to the desert to get in some fun engagement photos that totally fit their Wild Vegas elopement vibes perfectly!

Maddy wore the most epic sequin dress and looked like a total freaking babe while Ricky looked incredible slick in his pink suit, which also tied in perfectly with their pink wedding theme (more on that to come!)

We obviously wanted to bring out the mustang for their shoot, and I am so glad we did because it was fun, so glam, with the perfect touch of vintage. I mean no matter how modern and chic your wedding style may be, if you are getting married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Downtown Las Vegas, then your wedding has a touch of vintage Vegas no matter what! We loved every moment of this shoot, but especially loved getting to hang out with Maddy and Ricky before their big day and get to know them. It's so much more fun going to a wedding where you have gotten to know the couple a little before showing up!

So besides showing you some amazing photos to inspire your engagement shoot in the desert - this is also to say that even though you are eloping, it doesn't mean you can't get some awesome engagement photos! Or if you didn't get any, it's still not too late to do them just 2 days before your wedding! Trust us, you will never regret an awesome photoshoot in the desert with your boo!

XOXO,
