nelson ghost town elopement wedding photography

I love the atmosphere and props in today’s engagement session by Taylored Photo Memories from the ghost town at Nelson (aka Eldorado Canyon) an abandoned mining town just outside of Las Vegas. The clouds on the mountains and the faded washed out colors and quirky props like classic trucks, gas pumps and bicycles make for beautiful backdrops.

McKenzi photographed Shameka and Kenyatta, a local couple, at Eldorado Canyon after taking them there for the first time. She writes:

“As a photographer you could spend hours upon hours here, no matter the time of day. this particular shoot was on one of the few rainy days in Las Veags, so it provided a different and almost surreal feel to many of the photos. There was a foggy mist banking up in the canyon that surrounded this little venue.” 

I totally agree! I look forward to seeing the photos from Shameka and Kenyatta’s wedding happening in April!
