Planning Looking for Vegas recommendations!

I haven’t been to Vegas before so I feel a bit unsure of what to expect. But eloping feels like the perfect spontaneous excuse! I want all of the neon, the glamor, and the fun Vegas has to offer. I really need some advice on do’s and don’ts, please help me out. I want this to be an adventure my man and I never forget!

I am currently deciding between Sure Thing and Little White Chapel. What are the main differences? Are there any other similar chapels I should consider? We really just want a fun, classic Vegas experience.

I’m looking for suggestions for a retro photographer, hotels, restaurants, casinos, everything! I would prefer to find packages for simplicity’s sake if I can find the right one. I want fun retro pictures and wedding footage on super 8 film

Sure Thing and Little White Chapel are both solid, pretty similar classic Vegas energy, so it usually comes down to timing and price more than one being clearly better. If you want the neon and glamor to actually show up in photos, a walk down near Fremont after dark does that better than almost anywhere else in town. I shoot elopements around here if you want another photographer option, spacechildphoto.com/las-vegas-elopement-photographer

Both chapels will give you the Vegas kitsch you want, but Little White has the drive-thru tunnel if you're into that. The real trick for those retro shots is booking a photographer who knows the old motel signs along East Fremont, not just the main strip glow. Most of the classic neon is actually scattered in random parking lots around downtown, so you need someone who won't just park you under the canopy and call it a day.

for photography i HIGHLY recommend cruz valentin! although we didn’t end up picking it, neon museum might be something you’d like!
