PHOTOGRAPHY
I am enamored with weddings because they are one of the happiest days in a person’s life. I love everything from seeing families coming together to the small details that go into making each wedding unique. But nothing beats being able to capture portraits of a newly married couple sharing their first blissful moments.
Valley of Fire Elopement
When most people think of eloping in Las Vegas they picture a cheesy wedding in a little chapel where Elvis runs the ceremony and you get take-home souvenirs with your faces on them. We like to offer an alternative to that and utilize the beauty of the Las Vegas landscape. Our newest location, Valley of Fire, makes a gorgeous playground for lovebirds looking to say “I do” in an intimate way, without all the campiness of the strip.
Set against the glowing amber rocks of the Valley of Fire, this elopement theme was a classy homage to Something Blue. We wanted to juxtapose the glamor and whimsy of the couple’s glitzy style with the rugged desert rocks. What we love most about our weddings is that they are sustainable from start to finish. Elopements, in general, are extremely sustainable because you usually have no guests or at most, a handful. This cuts down on travel pollution, food consumption, waste, etc.
We keep our decor minimal and purposeful to also cut down on waste. In this shoot, you can see our mimosa and donut bar (blue themed as well!) and coffee cart that is made of all reusable items and no plastic. The brides’ bouquet, like all of our bouquets, contains succulents that can be planted after the ceremony. We even added a sleek vintage car to follow the re-usable theme (and also add some old Vegas glam).
Vegas elopements truly are what you make of them. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and make the day your own!
