An Elvis and Priscilla Inspired Elopement
What a pleasure it was to hear these two when they came up to me with the concept of : “I want our elopement to feel like an Elvis and Priscilla Story” …… Yassssss!!! I said to myself; finally !! Let me walk you to the process of how these became to be.
As a photographer’s point of view , all these eclectic ,unconventional looks , wedding and elopements, are my jam. I tend to have a creative outlook in life, and traditional is beautiful but I much prefer a little more individuality touches that bring out the couple’s character. After all, a wedding is not so much dress up; although it is, who are we kidding lol, but it’s also about what it says about you as the couple .
It all starts with the idea of the outfit , the location and the feel we were going for . To say that I was a fan of the veil at first when I saw it, was like : Waooo , this will be fun for it. The Little White Chapel , was an ideal location specially for that pink Cadillac that was a hit and always is with everyone that marries there. The outside area where the car is, the ceiling is like a sistine chapel with the most beautiful vibrant blue and characters that make it that much more exciting to take photos in.
We started shooting later in the evening , with Jess and Aaron arriving fully dressed and ready to go . Jess had a hairstyle and makeup that was an ode to 60’s , light blue shadow, thicker liner and big voluminous hair. Aaron came in with his velvet dark green jacket and something a little different for a tie. The sun was just right specially for a Vegas afternoon , which tends to be super warm in the summer, but we found it to be a good time. From there we did a quick ceremony style and then off to shoot outside grounds . The evening came by with all the shimmer and shine that Vegas is know for. That’s always the part that gets me to love Nevada in general that much more. We were able to go the Las Vegas sign and have some fun there. Lets not forget that the place is always surrounded by people, but they were nice enough to give us a few minutes to take some shots .
Take a look at how it all turned out ! Thanks for reading.
