A Chic Little White Chapel Elopement with Day & Night Photos

Jon and Adam’s Little White Chapel elopement was chic and so sweet! They met in college and were already traveling to Las Vegas for a work convention, so they decided to make the trip even more special by getting married while they were here. I loved their sage and cream color palette, heirloom jewelry, and seriously incredible style.

I also loved how their day felt thoughtful while still keeping that spontaneous Vegas energy. Looking through this gallery again brings all of their emotions right back. They were so happy, completely overcome with emotion during their ceremony, and absolutely glowing once they were officially married.

We photographed their ceremony midday before meeting back up later that night for cake from Winston Marie Cakes, pizza at Evel Pie, and fun nighttime photos on Fremont Street.

 

Jon & Adam’s Chic Little White Chapel Elopement

Jon and Adam begain talking online in 2021 and their conversation immediately flowed. A last-minute Tuesday date at a brewery turned into something much bigger. A few years later, and here they were heading to Las Vegas for a work convention and deciding it was the perfect opportunity to get married!

They wore coordinating sage green and cream suits with heirloom jewelry for their Little White Chapel elopement. Putting on their wedding rings and eating cake together were two of the moments they were most excited about, and you could see just how much the day meant to them during their ceremony.

They were emotional, unbelievably happy, and soooo sweet together! Afterward, we celebrated with a few photos outside the chapel and, of course, with the pink Cadillac.

Fremont Street Elopement Photos With Cake at Carousel Bar

Later that night, we met back up at Carousel Bar on Fremont Street, I brought their super sweet heart-shaped cake from Winston Marie Cakes. It matched their day perfectly, with beautiful piping, pearl details, and their initials across the top. Winston Marie is known for creating cakes that are just as delicious as they are beautiful, and these two couldn’t wait to dig in.

Carousel Bar is such a fun stop when you want drinks and fun elopement photos surrounded by the lights of Downtown Las Vegas. Jon and Adam had the best time feeding each other bites of cake, laughing together, and celebrating the fact that they were finally married!

Planning note: At the time of Jon and Adam’s elopement, Carousel Bar did not charge a fee for professional photos. A photography fee is expected to be introduced in summer 2026, so be sure to check with Carousel Bar directly for its current policy before planning your session.

Nighttime Las Vegas Elopement Photos on Fremont Street With Pizza & Champagne

Once it got dark, we headed to Evel Pie, where Jon and Adam fed each other slices of pizza and just had fun with it. It’s always a popular stop for couples, whether you both love pizza, need a food break during your session, or just want to work something playful into your photos.

Afterward, we stepped back onto Fremont Street and popped a bottle of champagne. Jon and Adam were truly so awesome to work with, and photographing their Las Vegas elopement photos from their emotional ceremony to this carefree nighttime session was such a good time!

Love From Jon & Adam:

“We truly could not have had this day as special as it was without Cruz. She is easy going and professional and provided plenty of tips and resources for us out-of-towners. She made our time with her run super smoothly and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so excited about the final results, cannot recommend her enough!”
