Las Vegas Elopement 3 hour Photography Timeline

Not every wedding needs a full day of coverage, especially when it’s just the 2 of you. For many couples coming to Vegas for their “I do’s,” three hours of photography is the sweet spot—enough time to tell your story beautifully without feeling overdone. Here’s a Las Vegas elopement 3 hour photography timeline with me as your photographer.

Getting Ready Moments (1 hr: 4:30-5:30pm)

The excitement right before the ceremony deserves to be remembered. I’ll arrive to your hotel room to capture your details and sweet moments, like your soon-to-be hubby helping zip up your dress. These candid, behind-the-scenes moments set the tone for the day and make your gallery feel complete.

Your Ceremony (30 min. 6pm – 6:30pm)

Whether you’re saying vows at a chapel, under the neon lights, or in the beautiful desert landscape, I’ll capture the full ceremony—from walking down the aisle to your first kiss as a married couple. This is the reason you’re here, and I’ll make sure you can relive it all. Abby and Justin had their ceremony at the adorable Sure Thing Chapel. It’s got a super cute vintage vibe. A little kitschy and totally fun. Although Abby & Justin eloped, this is a great option for a small wedding of 50 or less guests too.

Newlywed Photo Adventure (1.5hrs 6:30-8:00pm)

After “I do,” the fun really begins. We’ll explore downtown Las Vegas for portraits that feel like you. Think colorful murals, hidden alleys, glowing neon signs, and maybe even some cake on the street. These portraits are where your personalities and style shine through, and they’ll give you that mix of romantic and playful images you’ll love forever. Abby and Justin chose to add the vintage car to their package with Sure Thing Chapel, so we had some time to get these epic photos across from the chapel too! We also timed their ceremony so that they’d have plenty of golden light and some evening shots to end at The Plaza Hotel for those iconic lights!
