Sam and Keith told me they wanted to include a speedway pitstop on their wedding day, and I immediately knew it was going to be a lot of fun. These two met drag racing, so it was so fitting to stop by for some portraits on their way to the reception.
We started off their big day with them getting ready separately at the hotel. Sam had the most beautiful a-line wedding gown with a deep v-neck. It was classic and beautiful! She also hand-created “hangover” gifts for their wedding party to take home for the next day. Cutest, unique element to give to your people and invite them to parttyyy at your reception! 10/10 recommend!
Keith and Sam decided to do a first look at their hotel, and it was one of my favorite moments of the day. They knew they’d be celebrating with all their loved ones all day long, and wanted to carve out a brief moment to take in the moment just the two of them. Keith adores Sam, and he was so excited to see her as his bride.
After their first look, they met their friends and family to get into the party bus they rented for the day! This was such a hit, and they used it to transport everyone together from the ceremony to the speedway pitstop to the reception. It kept the party going all. day. long.
The first stop was at The Little White Chapel, one of my favorite places to shoot as a Las Vegas Wedding Photographer (here’s another wedding I photographed there!) These two said “I Do” with Elvis and all their loved ones got to cheer and cry and make it so special!!
After that, it was back onto the party bus for their speedway pitstop! Talk about a special moment! Everyone was able to walk right onto the track and we took photos in the evening light. I love when my couples include personal details like this that represent their story & relationship!
The day was closed out at Gilley’s, where everyone rode the mechanical bull and enjoyed line dancing together. They also cleared the dance floor for the newlyweds, so they could share a first dance.
What an amazing day to photograph. Congratulations, Sam and Keith!!
