Honeymoon session · Las Vegas
In short
Honeymoon session in Las Vegas starts at $395: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Las Vegas, and 50 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Honeymoon session in Las Vegas?
A great many couples marry in Las Vegas and stay for a few days afterwards, which makes the honeymoon session here a different proposition from one in Maui: it is usually photographed within forty-eight hours of the wedding, in the same city, and frequently in the dress again. That is an advantage. The dress is there, the couple is still in it emotionally, and the desert is twenty minutes away.
Worth knowing about Las Vegas
Sand and a wedding dress are a known problem and a solvable one. Red sandstone dust is fine, it gets everywhere, and it does not brush out of silk easily — which is why these sessions work from established surfaces and slickrock rather than from open sand, and why the dress is worth wearing on the second day rather than the day you still need it to look perfect.

FAQ — Honeymoon session in Las Vegas
Should we wear the dress again?
Most couples do, and it is the reason the session is worth booking. Photograph it the day after the wedding rather than before — red sandstone dust is fine, gets everywhere and does not brush out of silk easily. Sessions work from slickrock and established surfaces rather than open sand for exactly that reason.
How soon after the wedding can we book it?
The next morning, and that is the usual pattern here. Sunrise in the desert is twenty minutes from the Strip, so a couple married on Saturday evening is photographed at Calico Basin at six on Sunday. It needs no recovery day, only an early alarm, and the light at that hour is the best the location has.
