So today’s post is a little different, but I couldn’t resist because of the venue and beautiful photos. Regina and David had their first date at Lake Las Vegas, so they celebrated their anniversary by having a couple’s shoot out there.

I absolutely love the Westin at Lake Las Vegas. It’s got a beach, a gorgeous Mediterranean decor and style, with a laid-back vibe. There is a beautiful pool and lush gardens to stroll through. It’s just so different than so many other venues in the Vegas area, making it a great option for photos. Love those color pops!

The combination of cozy rustic details and the stunning mountain backdrop created the perfect mix of desert and camping trip for Ashli and Kris’s wedding.

The level of detail this couple went to include in their wedding theme is amazing: from the camp lanterns and treestump wedding cake to the trail mix favor bar and centerpieces that would fit right into a country cabin, each detail is more fun than the last. Warm woods and textures like burlap and rock brought the outside in. Ashli’s wildflower-inspired bouquet even evoked a stroll through the woods. You’re probably not be surprised to hear this couple were engaged at the top of a mountain.

Paiute’s lawn is a gorgeous ceremony venue, too. The lush floral arch is the perfect frame for exchanging vows. Love that this couple who loves hiking, biking, fishing and anything outdoorsy were able to turn a classic golf course into their dream venue.

Pat and Taylor are two Vegas locals who married inside the Havana Room at Tropicana Las Vegas. The former nightclub’s dark moody vibe was accented beautifully with candlelight and flowers in deep, dramatic hues. The room has beautiful curves and is great for laidback affairs that make for easy conversation.

Every photo seems dramatic, even the casual one of the newlyweds taking part in beer pong! There’s something about this venue that just stands out.

Inside the Tropicana is this hidden gem, the Havana Room. This room is incredibly gorgeous. It has a full bar, and the room itself is rounded, with tables and booths lining the outside allowing all focus to drift to the center of the room where a giant chandelier hangs as the anchor for the entire room. This is, of course, where the ceremony was held, directly underneath. It was beautiful.The ceremony was incredibly emotional. The love that Pat and Taylor have for each other was tangible in those moments, and they came through exceedingly well in the photos.

Teela and Robert hosted exchanged their vows backed by a panoramic view of the Strip from their MGM Grand Skyline Terrace Suite. With over 800-square-feet of patio space, it was more than spacious for their intimate guestlist of family and friends. Luxury details filled the suite, from the bride’s silver heels to the sophisticated wedding cake. Perfect for the modern space.

After getting emotional on the terrace, the party continued indoors with a chic cake and Champagne reception. They celebrated their marriage by sharing their first dance outdoors, the lights on the Strip flickering on hotel by hotel behind them.

Andre was en route to Vegas from Rio de Janeiro when his flight was cancelled. The couple had not seen one another for six weeks, due to work schedules so reuniting the morning of their ceremony was extra sweet. They chose not to get ready together, and did a first look just outside the hotel. Even modern elopements need a bit of tradition!

Stephanie had always dreamed of wearing pink heels while she exchanged her vows, and that dream came true. In another twist of tradition, she also carried a vintage beaded purse gifted by her grandmother and wore three blue flower pins from her sister.

After their chapel ceremony officiated by Elvis (decidedly non-traditional!) they did some fun photographs in and around the Smith Center and downtown Las Vegas.
