I’m looking into getting eloped at Sure Thing, I was wondering if anyone knows if they provide a witness (if we didn’t want to bring a photographer)? I also was wondering if anyone has used a photographer at Sure Thing for 30-60 minutes and how much it is roughly so I can add to my budget? I’m overwhelmed with all the choices lol Thank you!
I broke my 50mm lens the day after, so I'm SO glad I got these before that! I can't wait to see my photographer's photos, but as a film wedding photographer myself, I had to bring my camera as well! I truly had such an amazing time. It felt like a David Lynch dream, and I hope I get to shoot for a client here or at Sure Thing NYC one day! Thank you to Claudia of Petite Cherry Photo for letting me take her pictures, too! Also, of course, I blinked in my photo with my husband lmao. Hope you like them!
More photos of the wedding and Vegas after dark on my website: https://www.brianaraucci.com/recent-work/our-wedding
PS, any other photographers take film photos at their wedding and have to keep switching their brain out of work mode? I wanted to take a lot more creative angles and stuff, but I was like oh yeah, I need to just be here and not work! haha
Hello!
I never wear makeup and if I do it’s concealer to touch up blemishes, mascara, and a tad bit of eyeliner. Every where I have been reading suggests getting your makeup professionally done for professional photos. I am getting my engagement photos done in LV in July at sunset.
When you got your engagement photos done did you have a professional MUA do your makeup or did you just do it as you normally would? Did it make a difference in photos?
TIA!! This really has me torn and I am traveling out of state so just want them to turn out perfect due to the cost we are spending to travel.
I am looking to book a venue for at most 40 people away from the strip, preferable North Las Vegas for a baby shower.
also if anyone has catering recommendations.
My partner and me are getting married at Caesars in December and we’re looking for dinner options close by. We have some 50 guests and are looking to not spend anything more than 100-120 per person ( pre tax). Would really appreciate any options suggestions and recommendations!
We’ve looked into Carmines and Mon Ami Gabi . If anyone has experiences with either of these places I’d love to know!
My fiancé and I are planning to elope in Las Vegas on Christmas Eve this year. We’re staying at the Venetian and getting married at the Chapel of Flowers at 1:30 pm, and I’m thinking about booking a photographer for a mini session beforehand after I get hair/makeup done but before our car picks us up for the ceremony.
I’ve looked at the Chapel of Flowers photography packages, but $1,100 feels really steep for something I’m not even sure matches the vibe I want. I keep seeing all these beautiful, edgy, personality-filled Vegas elopement photos on Instagram and love that style more.
Has anyone here had a really good experience with a Vegas photographer recently? Especially someone good with:
candid / editorial / artsy vibes
fun Vegas backdrops
couples who are awkward in photos and need to be promted on how to pose
mini sessions or shorter elopement coverage (I just want at least a couple of nice shots not all day documentation)
I’m hoping to stay more in the $200–$400 range if possible, (is that realistic?!) though I realize Christmas Eve may mean I need to book way in advance.
Would love recommendations, Instagram handles, or even tips if you’ve done a Vegas elopement recently!
First thing to know is that I'm trying to pull together a low budget wedding for the end of the year. Marrying my HS sweetheart and we don't need nothing fancy, but one are in the budget that I'm struggling with is photography. Reception will likely be a small affair of approx 50 people. Seems redonk to pay a photographer for this unless it's the same price or cheaper than using a one-time $200 fee QR code wedding album app(weddnig studio app) where your guests scan it and take photos instead if paying a photographer to be at the reception after and so on. Wondering how cheap you guys have seen wedding photographers here that are actually good and will just work a reception?
edit: and no photographer who will wiork for cheap but try to charge me extra to print the photos on my own!
Ceremony at Little White Chapel, reception at the Wheel House right beneath the High Roller, rode the high roller with our guests directly following the reception. The BEST TIME!! If you’re thinking about it, DO IT!!
Any recommendations for a professional mobile hair stylist that can come to hotel & help w/ hair, dress & veil? We have 0 guests so looking for stylist! Morning wedding on Friday. Thanks!
We have already ordered and paid for our cake from Freed's. We're having trouble finding a venue that will accept it. I am willing to pay a $1k cake cutting fee just to get this stupid cake into somewhere but I have been met with a flat "No." This is a licensed bakery, we are willing to bring all the plates/utensils and serve it ourselves so as not to take up a staff member (despite PAYING FOR THE VENUE, it's not like I'm showing up unannounced with 40 people and a cake). I understand storage concerns and contracts but this seems absolutely ridiculous. Why is a place willing to lose $10-15k over a cake?
And now that that rant is over, does anyone have recommendations for a reception venue for 40 that will take an outside cake? The wedding is at Bellagio but I guess we're willing to go elsewhere.
I used Simona Burton this March for my Las Vegas wedding. 10/10.
Looking for a Bridal Assistant to help calm nerves & make sure I look okay before the wedding. It’s not to be in the wedding, just someone that might help with last minute touches. My hair & makeup will be done. Just someone who can be honest, upbeat & detail oriented. Someone who can tell me what needs adjusting etc. How do I find someone like this & how much does this cost? Lol Thank you!!!
UPDATE: Found ‘Nannies & Grannies’ in Las Vegas. They have Bridal Asst, Butlers, Party Attendants, etc. it’s a 4 hr minimum - Super nice people and excited to have someone there. THANK YOU
As the title says we get married today!! I could reserve us an uber from our venue back to the hotel for $35 or an SUV or Limo from Bell Trans for around $95ish! Which would you recommend?
