The neon museum at midnight? Yeah, I’m going to need more Las Vegas elopements like this one please. Paul and Rozelle’s wedding weekend was the PERFECT mix of classic Vegas, old-school glamour, and just the right amount of weird. Basically, exactly what I love about photographing weddings in this city.
We kicked off their wedding weekend after dark!
My time with Paul and Rozelle actually started two nights before their ceremony. I met them at their hotel close to midnight while they were getting ready in their wedding attire. Rozelle wore a fitted white mini dress with a dramatic tulle train and white heels. Paul looked every inch the classic groom in a black suit with a bolo tie.
Once they were ready, we headed out for a nighttime adventure.
The goal? Neon, neon, and more neon.
Which of course, we found here! The Neon Museum is an iconic Vegas staple for a reason.
We spent some time wandering through the hotel & casino, before heading over to the museum for their portraits. They were staying at The Golden Nugget, in case you’re looking for a kickass hotel to take photos in for your wedding weekend in the city.
Once we were at the Neon Museum, the night just came alive. The glowing signs, deep shadows, and vintage Vegas colors made THE COOLEST backdrop. We played around with the lights and they had fun with it. Their playful vibe reminded me a little bit of Kylah and Hang’s day where we did Back to the Future inspired portraits around their Little White Chapel elopement. (And yes, if you haven’t seen that post… you need to! View it here!)
No matter how you choose to make your elopement personal, Vegas is honestly the best backdrop. There’s nothing too fun or weird or exciting.
A midnight session at The Neon Museum was an easy yes for me as a Vegas photographer!
A Couple Days Later We Met Up at The Little White Chapel for Their “I do”s!!
It was just the two of them, which made the whole thing feel incredibly personal. They got married in front of the classic white backdrops and we took portraits all over the grounds.
After their ceremony, we explored the pink cadillac and the classic Tunnel of Love, before wrapping up their newlywed portraits on the lawn. It was an epic day for a truly epic couple.
I felt so honored to be their Las Vegas elopement photographer.
It’s funny… I have photographed literally hundreds of days in the city now… and they’re ALL different. They’re fresh and fun. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of meeting you in the Wedding Capitol of the World and helping you capture your day. It’s just such a beautiful moment in time, and as an artist I find it all very inspiring and exciting!
