I truly believe the couples that find me have done so purely by fate. Denise and Dustin are 100% one of those couples.

These two are originally from St. Louis and went to Mizzou around the same time I did. We had the realization that there were about 2-3 years of overlap between their time at the University of Missouri and mine – which is CRAZY. These two now live in Florida, and even though they had to postpone their big 2020 wedding (thanks, Rona), they still wanted to be married asap. So, Vegas it is!

I remember when Denise first emailed me about her wedding. She was originally wanting to have her ceremony the afternoon of Halloween, but I was already booked. Through a lot of planning and tweaking of schedules, we were finally able to land on doing an evening elopement on Halloween! So while their photos may not have that classic golden hour glow, the nighttime darkness gives their photos that ultimate neon Vegas vibe!

Their ceremony was held in the Chapel L’Amour inside of the Little White Chapel, which is setup perfectly for larger groups of guests. Complete with Elvis walking her down the aisle and serenading them throughout the ceremony, these two said, “I do,” in front of their closest friends and family (some of whom didn’t even know this was happening until a week before they came to Vegas). We danced and laughed and cried a little bit before setting off to take some fun after-dark photos around Fremont Street!

These two were crazy fun to work with and honestly? I’m super jealous of whoever their wedding photographer is next year, because I’m 100% down to clown around with them and their amazing friends again.

If COVID-19 postponed your wedding but you’re still just trying to get married, get in touch now so we can create the Vegas elopement of your dreams!
