I don’t know if y’all are fully aware, but I definitely have a thing for Valley of Fire. I fell head over heels for it the first time we visited and hiked the Fire Wave Trail, and it played a huge part in inspiring us to move to Vegas last year. I came, I saw, and then I couldn’t imagine NOT taking my clients there to share the views and the absolutely ridiculous desert light.

I’ve gotten to shoot there with couples several times now, and each time has been gorgeous. So when Caroline & Sam reached out to me to plan a session after their elopement in town at Little White Chapel, I was so stoked to help them. I didn’t photograph the ceremony itself, but instead we opted to plan for two hours out around the park at sunset with a classic Cadillac they rented. It was PERFECTION, and I could’ve kept shooting all night (if it were allowed… which it definitely isn’t 😅).

These two came to me from Charleston, South Carolina, and I’m so honored they contacted me to make sure they had epic photos from their wedding day. It was incredible. They’re incredible! I want to keep shooting at Valley of Fire every chance I get, so if you’re also planning a Valley of Fire elopement, make sure to reach out! I’m well-versed in the permit process (I’m an annual photography permit holder, and yes - a permit is definitely required to shoot at Valley of Fire), and I know all the ins and outs of the approved photo spots. So I’m obviously your gal 😘 You too can have badass photos like these!
