No matter how big or small a wedding is, it’s always an honor to be able to capture a couple committing themselves to one another forever. While I very much enjoy the hustle and bustle of an eight to ten hour wedding day, it’s always nice to shoot an elopement. The overall vibe is a little more laid-back, and I just love the balance it brings to my schedule.
We were happy to have the opportunity to document an out-of-town couple’s nuptials at the Retreat at Mount Charleston Peak this past December. Yesenia and David selected the venue due to its close proximity to the Las Vegas Valley (only 45 minutes away), and the stunning mountain landscape.
The day started with some portraits of the bride and groom together, as well as a few solo shots. Then, we headed to the quick ceremony out on the patio of the hotel. (I can never get over the gorgeous view.) Afterwards, we spent about ten minutes getting some shots of the couple with their beloved family members. Everyone was really awesome to work with and braved the frigid 30-degree air like champs!
