I was bursting with excitement as I packed up my gear for my very first destination wedding at the Little White Chapel. I was giddy as I boarded the plane headed for Las Vegas. This was the moment I had been waiting for since I started my photography journey – the chance to tick off one of those dream destination weddings on my bucket list. I was about to capture a truly special, badass, and incredible destination wedding at the Little White Chapel. Gaby and Marz were getting married at the famous Little White Chapel, and I just knew that this wedding was going to be unlike anything else.
The second I arrived at The Little White Chapel, I couldn’t help but soak in all the excitement in the air. Love was all around, and the energy in the air was infectious. I had a feeling that the day ahead would be full of laughter, joy, and unexpected moments that always make these events unforgettable. And honestly, that’s what makes these destination weddings so special.
As a photographer, my challenge was to capture every beautiful moment of this whirlwind wedding. I had to be quick on my feet, while always on the lookout for those candid shots and unexpected instances. The Little White Chapel itself was a gorgeous destination for Gaby and Marz’s love story. My goal was to make sure their unique love shined through every photo.
The vibrant vibes of Las Vegas, Nevada only added to the magic of the photoshoot. The city became a character of its own, blending easily with Gaby and Marz’s adventurous spirits. There was something truly magical about capturing their love against the backdrop of the neon lights and the busy streets.
One of the standout moments from the day was when Gaby and Marz decided to embrace the moment and take a stroll down the iconic Las Vegas Strip. Their boldness and unapologetic attitude were energizing to my soul. Passersby couldn’t help but cheer them on, and that infectious joy spilled over into every photo I snapped. I managed to capture them holding hands, sharing deep gazes, and laughing as if they were the only people in the entire world.
Throughout the day, my mind was racing as I envisioned the stunning images that were waiting to be captured by my camera. The challenge of capturing the very essence of this unique wedding pushed me to think creatively and embrace those unscripted, spontaneous moments. This wasn’t just about taking pictures; it was about preserving the free-spirited essence of Gaby and Marz’s love story.
As the sun started to set, casting a warm glow across Las Vegas, a profound sense of fulfillment settled over me. I had managed to capture moments that Gaby and Marz would treasure forever.
Crossing off a dream destination wedding from my photography bucket list was undeniably amazing. However, the experience is what made this shoot unforgettable. Gaby and Marz’s love story, with all its uniqueness, fun, and boldness, was present in every photograph. It was a reminder of why I had chosen this amazing career path. While the Little White Chapel had seen countless love stories, Gaby and Marz’s wedding showcased the beauty of impulsive, free-spirited love. And now, as their memories live on through my photographs, I’m incredibly grateful to have been a part of their incredible journey. I absolutely LOVED being a part of this destination wedding.
