If you’re dreaming of an iconic Las Vegas elopement, this is a day you definitely need to scroll through for inspo. We started at Sure Thing Chapel (iconic) and ended at In-n-Out burgers (iconic).
Sarah and Mike were the sweetest, most fun, laid-back couple ever. After eight years together, they were ready to make it OFFICIALLY official with a day that was equally relaxed and joyful. They knew they wanted an intimate celebration with just the two of them, and they wanted to hit up some of the fun Vegas must-sees on their day.
From the iconic pink heart at Sure Thing Chapel to a quick stop at the Welcome to Vegas sign, to the final celebratory finale at In-N-Out, every part of their day just reflected who they are.
Sarah looked in-freakin-credible in a modern one-shoulder white dress with a pleated skirt detail. She rounded out her look with sparkly heels and a classic veil. Mike kept things sharp in a light gray suit with brown shoes and a soft green tie. They looked SO GOOD!!!
Their ceremony at Sure Thing Chapel was short, sweet, and full of laughs. One of their favorite moments was the live organ music, followed by portraits around the chapel.
We made sure to stop by all the FAV spots, including the famous pink heart, the vintage photo booth, and yes… the must-have retro blue bathroom portraits.
Once we finished portraits at the chapel, it was time to hop into the bright red vintage convertible.
The bold red against the Vegas sunshine was amazing. I love how much the color pops in full sun! I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of taking pictures in the convertible here. It’s SUCH a vibe for my Vegas couples. If you love the look, and want to see more… here’s another blog post where the couple used an vintage car for their portraits!
Next, we stopped by the Welcome to Las Vegas sign.
Even when it’s busy, there are always ways to capture beautiful photos without the crowds stealing the spotlight. And these two got these special portraits to have forever. I like to imagine these up on the walls of their house! Showing off their perfect Vegas day!
The last stop of the day? You guessed it! In-n-Out! Doesn’t get better than ending your wedding day with their delicious burgers.
The paper hats, striped awnings, and casual outdoor atmosphere made for the perfect laid-back ending. Watching these two laugh over milkshakes in their wedding clothes felt so core-memory-esque. I loved photographing their whole day, as a Las Vegas elopement photographer. And I’m still reliving it in my head!
