From the get go, B + N are a pleasure to work with. B quick fires questions to me about everything Las Vegas and adventure while her laid back counterpart, N giggles at her thoroughness. They're a match made in heaven and I'm so ready to photograph their sweetness. The two chose from the best elopement packages in Vegas and we can't be more grateful that it was with us. This is their 8 hour adventure.

Getting Ready
I join B, her mom, and grandmother in her room to start getting her ready. Pop joins N in his room to finish getting him ready for his first look with his future wife.
The First Look
I walk B out radioing with Pop to make sure he doesn’t see her. I see the butterflies written all over their faces but they’re ready to have a good time today and they’re most definitely ready to see each other. They meet on the water. B taps N on his shoulder, N sees her and is immediately in tears. He’s not about to let her go all damn day.
The Lost Road Ceremony
We all head off to the Lone Road where we park and walk into the wilderness. With their guests in tow, Pop leads them through their ceremony and tears begin to flow. N holds B close while they are both suspended in happiness so pure it brings them both to tears.
Champs, a Little Toast and Some Exploring
They kiss and make it official! Their family is so excited that we head out for some champs and toasts in the desert. Then they get a minute to explore together, take a few pics with their family, and take in the sights.
Dinner at Triple George Grill
Our next stop is Fremont Street for dinner at Triple George Grill, a restaurant with a cool vibe and a huge bar. We enjoy stories about their lives together. Their family showers them in love and excitement for their newest journey.
Fremont Street
When we’re all full and a little litty, we make our way to Fremont Street to grab some drinks and check out the entertainment. B + N dance in the street to celebrate their nuptials and take in all the lights.
