What Makes Up a Las Vegas Elopement? | Las Vegas Elopement Photographer

Is there anything more iconic than getting married in Las Vegas? I don’t think so! Las Vegas elopements are all about having fun, not stressing, and making the whole day your own. But what exactly makes a Las Vegas elopement the iconic event that it is?

What is an elopement?

Elopements are small, intimate events sometimes including only the couple and the officiant. They’re notoriously uncomplicated, completely customizable, and more about celebrating the couple than the big song-and-dance of a wedding. Elopements usually still include a ceremony, some kind of celebration, any typical “wedding” elements you want to include, and a photographer to capture and tell the story of the day.

My Favorite Las Vegas Elopement Details

Having seen so many amazing, unique elopements in Las Vegas, there are a few key pieces that I see so often they’ve become iconic for a Vegas elopement:

• A non-traditional outfit or quirky statement piece like Aubrie’s short dress and black veil.

• Pictures beneath the famous Las Vegas signs

• A ceremony at a famous chapel like the Little White Wedding Chapel or the Taco Bell Cantina (Elvis and a Baja Blast? Yes, please!)

• A fun-loving attitude and a willingness to take the chips as they fall—pun totally intended!

Las Vegas elopements are so much fun. As you start to plan your elopement, keep in mind that it’s all whatever you want it to be. Don’t stress, and if you need guidance, reach out to me!
