No waiting periods or residency requirements. You can get legally married the same day you apply for your license!
Dozens of location options. From glowy red rocks to vintage chapels, rooftop resorts to downtown murals, there’s a vibe for everyone.
Perfect for last-minute plans or well-crafted experiences. You can throw it together in a week or curate every detail.
Endless photo and video potential. City lights, desert sunsets, retro charm, champagne pops, you name it!!
Vegas makes space for all kinds of love stories. Whether you're bringing a small group of guests or keeping it just the two of you, this city knows how to turn any moment into magic.
A Full-Day Elopement Itinerary (Perfect for 4+ Hours)
Elopement days don’t have to feel rushed. With 4+ hours of photo and video coverage, we can slow things down and actually experience your day instead of racing through it. Here's an itinerary that leaves room for all the real moments:
Getting Ready & Details
Start the day in a stylish hotel suite or Airbnb with great light and all your favorite details. We’ll capture those quiet, beautiful in-betweens, rings laid out, vow books, perfume spritzes, laughter, deep breaths.
First Look
Have your first look in a location that feels meaningful or cinematic. Some favorites:
A rooftop overlooking the Strip
An iconic Vegas mural
The steps of your hotel or an empty alley downtown
Ceremony
This can be quick or fully custom, depending on your vibe. We’ve seen beautiful vows:
Inside classic Vegas chapels
In the red rock desert at sunset
At the Neon Museum surrounded by signs

Post-ceremony is when the fun really starts. This is your chance to run around the city and capture those editorial, energetic shots:
Stroll through Fremont Street
Pop champagne in the desert
Hit the Strip or wander into your favorite bar for a drink!
Golden Hour & Night Portraits
Vegas after dark is a whole mood. That blue-hour glow, the neon lights, the flash-lit portraits in the street, this is where the energy shifts and the photos become even more cinematic!
Post-Ceremony Celebration
Finish your night with something that feels you. Ideas we love:
Intimate rooftop dinner
Dive bar drinks and first dances on the jukebox
Pizza in your suite
Champagne in a hot tub under the stars
