Seven Magic Mountains Desert Engagement Session | Las Vegas Engagement Photographer

Rebekah and Daryl are a prime example of how couples think they aren’t photogenic, but they actually ARE.

These two sweeties got in touch with me over the summer wanting some fun Vegas-based engagement photos. They had moved to Vegas about a year before for their jobs.

“We are both active duty military – he is a firefighter and I am a paramedic. We met at our last duty station in Minot, ND, and we moved to Las Vegas with our baby, a 2 year old English bulldog.”

Just before they moved, Daryl surprised her with a sparkly little gift!

“We got engaged during a photo shoot we had done just prior to departing North Dakota – he surprised me, I had no idea!”

Because of the way the military works, it’s common for couples to get legally married before they have their big wedding, and that’s exactly what these two did! They got engaged, got married a couple days later, and moved down to Vegas to begin wedding planning! Their celebration is set for April 2022, but they wanted some fun Vegas-y engagement photos for their invitations!

We met up in the evening at Seven Magic Mountains before heading out to the dry lakebed nearby! Don’t let these photos fool you – this place was packed full of lots of people getting some awesome photos in front of these art structures. Ya girl is just really good at Photoshop!

The two of them changed outfits in their car and we piled into my Subaru to head out to the desert. This dry lakebed is only about five minutes away from the Seven Magic Mountains, but there are so few people there that you’d never know it was so close by!

The Seven Magic Mountains were supposed to be taken down at the end of 2021, but they’re currently still up, so TBD on if or when that’ll happen! So if you want your own photos at this fleeting location, get in touch while you still can!
