You’ve decided to get hitched in Vegas. But, you’re searching for a Las Vegas elopement photographer who can capture your amazing adventure in the city that never sleeps. Finding the right photographer for your Vegas elopement is kind of a huge deal. After all, making the decision to elope in Vegas? All vibes. Running along the strip holding hands as you dash off to your chapel or venue with the glare of the neon lights blazing bright. There is no other wedding experience like it. On your search to find your perfect fit Las Vegas elopement photographer, here’s what you need to know.
How Does Elopement Photography Work?
First things first, let’s break this down a bit more because there tends to be a lot of misconception. An elopement photographer can be a photographer who lives at the location of your elopement, or one who travels to the location of your elopement. Either way, an elopement photographer is someone who is skilled at capturing weddings around the globe. And they are also someone who is adept at doing it with a sense of adventure and a dash of excitement.
The couples I work with who choose to elope in Vegas are in it for the experience. They are ready to hop on a plane (or in a car) and have a kick-ass time getting married and enjoying the sights, sounds, and epic flavors that Vegas has to offer. So my personal approach as a Las Vegas elopement photographer is pretty hands-on. I know what an adventure this is for them and I am fully invested in my couple’s love story. When the day arrives, I’m with my couple from sun up to sun down. I’m there by their side to fix those pesky flyaway hairs and to show them the best photo locations on the Vegas strip, downtown, or in the desert. I’m there when they say I do, vibing on their energy and I’m there to capture their one-of-a-kind photos.
What Does Elopement Photography Include?
Honestly, this is one of those questions that totally depends on what you’re planning. Is your Vegas elopement a jet-setting ‘just the two of you’ wedding day? Or do you have friends and family flying in too? Will your elopement include a rehearsal dinner and a reception? Or is your day more about your wedding ceremony and the opportunity to adventure around the desert in your wedding day attire?
My elopement photography packages are geared toward either of the experiences I’ve just described. But, for my ‘just the two of us couples’, their elopement photography package includes the following:
- Wedding day photo coverage
- At least 1 photographer
- Discounted or complimentary engagement session
- Planning assistance and timeline creation
- Online gallery with high-resolution and web-size photos
- Sneak peeks within 72 hours of your event
- Add-ons available
Total cost begins at $3500
However, I also offer a package that works for couples who are planning a larger-scale elopement in Vegas. You can find the full details of that package, here.
How Much Does An Elopement Photographer Cost In Las Vegas?
There is no ‘quick and easy’ answer to this. Each and every Las Vegas elopement photographer will have their own set packages & pricing. I can tell you this though, you should not expect to find an elopement photographer at a price tag of $2k or less. That might have been true long ago, but it’s not anymore. In fact, it’s another common misconception about hiring an elopement photographer. So what should you expect to budget for your Las Vegas elopement photographer? The somewhat average range for working with a Las Vegas elopement photographer can run from $3500-$8000 and up. This will vary on the total coverage offered along with the add-ons available in your package. So don’t be afraid to ask your photographer what’s included, their average turnaround time (my couples get sneak peeks in 72 hours!), and how their payment structure works.
