Some couples dream of grand ballrooms and elaborate wedding plans, but for Amy and Michael, simplicity was the name of the game. They wanted an intimate Chapel Elopement! A day that felt low-stress, filled with the things they love most, and true to who they are as a couple. They decided on Sure Thing Chapel for their venue and honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect!
These two are self-proclaimed low-key homebodies. A typical date for them involves a daytime meal at a fantastic restaurant, followed by an early night in. They’re happiest spending time with family over backyard BBQs or exploring museums, botanical gardens, and local gems during their weekend getaways. They also love a fun, low-pressure trip to Disneyland, which speaks to their laid-back, nostalgic vibe. With that in mind, they decided to elope and keep their wedding as simple (and stress-free) as possible.
Their intimate chapel elopement evening started at Sure Thing for their ceremony.
The chapel’s charm and unique setting were the perfect backdrop to their personal vows. Their elopement day reflected their no-fuss personalities—just the two of them, heartfelt vows and a setting that felt calm and personal.
At first, the couple wasn’t sure about hiring a photographer. Neither of them loves being in front of the camera, so they debated whether to capture the day in photos. But they ultimately decided to go for it, and I’m so glad they did. As a Las Vegas elopement photographer, I specialize in keeping things relaxed and authentic, just like their personalities. (check out this other elopement I did!)
After their “I do’s” for their intimate Chapel Elopement we spent a little time capturing some couple’s portraits. I made sure to keep things natural and easygoing. There’s something so special about the way these quiet moments together unfold—genuine laughter, soft smiles, and just soaking in the joy of being newly married.
Amy and Michael’s elopement was as simple as it gets—no grand reception, no fancy extras. And that’s really what made it so special. They stayed true to what mattered most: celebrating their love in a way that felt authentically them.
If you’re looking for a Las Vegas elopement photographer who can help you capture your day without the stress or pressure of traditional wedding photography, I’d love to chat. Whether you’re planning a small ceremony, an adventurous elopement, or a simple backyard celebration, I’m here to make the experience as easygoing and beautiful as possible.
Your wedding day doesn’t have to be about elaborate timelines or picture-perfect poses. It can be as simple as saying your vows in a place you love and spending the day exactly how you want—just like Amy and Michael did. You deserve a day that feels uniquely yours!
