This day was just classic Las Vegas wedding from beginning to end. From their nuptials in front of the pink heart at Sure Thing Chapel, to the red convertible getaway, to walking down Fremont street as newlyweds… the whole day was a quintessential Vegas vibe.
Getting Ready at Park MGM
The day started at Park MGM, where Margo got ready surrounded by some of her favorite people. Her sister, mom, and future mother-in-law helped her into the most beautiful dress with lace detailing (and tiny bows!!) that was equally modern and playful. Her perfect bridal fit!
One of the sweetest moments of the morning was Margo’s first look with her dad. His love when he saw his daughter as a bride!!
And there were a few more happy tears when she shared another first look with Josh. The excitement on both of their faces said it all.
Okay so let’s talk about why Park MGM is a great getting ready location:
- Modern and bright hotel rooms
- Neutral spaces that photograph beautifullyyyy
- Convenient location on the Strip
- Plenty of room for family and wedding party moments
A Sweet Ceremony at Sure Thing Chapel
After getting ready, we headed to Sure Thing Chapel for a ceremony that was short, sweet, and full of love.
One of my favorite things about weddings at Sure Thing is how effortlessly fun they feel. I have photographed a lot of weddings there (like this one and this one!) There is no pressure to overcomplicate anything, it’s just a good time!
You get to focus on what matters most and then spend the rest of the day celebrating. Win win in my book as a Las Vegas wedding photographer.
After officially becoming husband and wife, Margo and Josh hopped into the photo booth to capture their just-married excitement. I always love seeing those photo booth strips afterward. And I love knowing they’re going to live on your fridge for the next 10-15 years! Haha
The vintage car add-on was the perfect finishing touch and gave us some of the most iconic portraits of the day.
The next stop in their classic Las Vegas wedding day? You guessed it: Fremont Street!
First stop on the post-ceremony tour was the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. No epic Vegas wedding day feels complete without it, ya know!?
As the sun started to set, we made our way to Fremont Street. Between the neon lights, vintage signs, and bustling atmosphere, it was the perfect way to end the evening. We captured a mix of digital, Super 8, and 35mm film imagery, which added even more nostalgia to an already unforgettable day.
From emotional first looks at the hotel to neon-lit newlywed portraits on Fremont, Margo and Josh embraced every part of their wedding day.
It was everything you’d want from a classic Las Vegas wedding day.
It was FULL of joy. Relaxed. Fun! Family-oriented. I mean, just a gorgeous day that I felt so freakin’ lucky to photograph.
If you’re thinking about eloping in Vegas, save this post for inspo!
