Samantha and Phillip drove all the way down from LA on a beautiful Tuesday morning, trusting me with their vision for timeless, elegant, and editorial engagement photos at Venus Gardens before their October wedding. It truly felt like we had an entire palace to ourselves, and I am so obsessed with how these photos turned out—the architecture, the light, the way you two moved together made everything feel so intentional and stunning. I can't wait to capture the both of you in October for your formal wedding because I already know the wedding photos are going to be killer. Sending all of my love to you in the meantime 🤎

i had the honor of being the one to photograph l & j’s elopement & they were literally just the sweetest people and we had the most fun. definitely one of those things where you just let the wind take you where it wants to and a time was had ❤️‍🔥 i can’t get over these photos and how beautiful and genuine they are to what happened this night - you can just tell we all had a lot of fun. thank you for choosing me to capture you guys during this amazing time!

My sister from another mister came to visit me the other week, and these are some of my favorite photos I've taken in a while. Trish and Ronaldo are freshly engaged. When I saw their proposal photos, I literally cried SO FAST. So imagine my reaction when they asked me to take a few photos of them here in Vegas, where Trish and I grew up together, laughed together, played together. It was so bittersweet. Now we're just a few months away from their wedding day in Draper, Utah, and I'll have the privilege of helping photograph their I do's. It's such a beautiful and exciting time right now.

Baylee and Wayne told their friends and family they were coming to Vegas for a bachelor and bachelorette party. But here’s the thing!!!! Instead, they secretly planned an entire wedding, loaded 18 unsuspecting people onto a party bus, and surprised everyone by showing up in full wedding attire with one announcement: "Surprise, we're getting married right now." And honestly? It was one of the most fun, easygoing, and genuinely joyful weddings I've ever photographed.

Yari and Luis have been together since 2010. High school sweethearts who grew up together, navigated college side by side, and chose each other through every season of change. After 15 years, they didn't just want a wedding. They wanted a celebration that honored their journey, brought their people together, and felt like them—fun, intentional, and unforgettable. So they planned a multi-day destination wedding in Las Vegas. And it was everything.

Mari and Maged proved something I've been saying for years: Vegas elopements don't have to look cheesy.

Even when you literally elope at the cheesiest chapel in Vegas.

They did the full Vegas experience—iconic chapel, neon lights, the Vegas sign—and their friends said these were the best wedding photos they'd ever seen. Not just good. Not just pretty. The best.

Here's exactly how we made it happen.

They fly across the world to Las Vegas, elope at a vintage blue chapel, eat pizza on Fremont Street, and end the night under glittering neon lights. At least, that's what Jess and Tom did. And honestly? It was one of the most intentional, relaxed, and beautifully them elopements I've had the privilege of photographing.

There is a moment on many wedding days when couples realize the pace has quietly taken over. The timeline moves forward, people are waiting, and the day begins to feel like something to keep up with rather than something to inhabit.

If you’re planning a Las Vegas wedding or elopement and hoping it can still feel personal, artful, and grounded, you’re not alone. More couples than ever are choosing Las Vegas not for spectacle, but for simplicity — a place where the focus can return to what matters most.

This guide is here to walk you through that process gently, without overwhelm, and with the perspective of someone who has witnessed many wedding days from close range.

Las Vegas is famous for its fast-paced, iconic wedding days—but couples are increasingly choosing to expand their celebrations into multi-day experiences. Not only does this give guests time to connect, but it also allows for richer storytelling, more personalized moments, and photographs that truly capture the spirit of your celebration.

As a photographer who has captured countless Las Vegas Elopement celebrations, I’ve seen what works—and what can feel rushed or overwhelming. Here’s a practical, thoughtful guide to planning a multi-day wedding that feels effortless and memorable.

Las Vegas weddings are iconic, instantly recognizable, and endlessly photogenic—but they’re also constantly evolving. As a photographer who has captured countless celebrations here, I often see couples dive in without understanding subtle trends that could make their day feel effortless, intentional, and timeless. Here’s what most couples don’t know—but wish they did—before planning their Las Vegas Wedding.

If I could, I would share a thousand images from R + C’s elopement. But as I slowly work through their final gallery, these few felt like the right place to pause and reflect on our time together

Plan for how you want to feel. Trust professionals who educate you. Build a day that supports your season of life. And remember—it’s not about them, it’s about you guys. This is just the start.
