Bellagio to Paris: A Joyful Las Vegas Elopement Adventure
There’s something effortlessly magical about Las Vegas elopements, and Stephanie and Chris totally embodied that easygoing joy on their big day. After they tied the knot in a private ceremony, we met up at the Bellagio to kick off a relaxed and laughter-filled photo session. From iconic fountains to sparkling lights, their celebration captured everything that makes Vegas such a perfect spot for intimate wedding photography.
We started in the gardens of the Bellagio, where Stephanie’s lace gown caught the sunlight as the couple shared a sweet kiss near the fountains. The water sparkled in the foreground while the lush greenery and classic Vegas skyline framed the moment perfectly.
As we made our way around the Bellagio, the couple couldn’t stop smiling and laughing. Stephanie linked arms with Chris, both of them soaking in the gorgeous views of the Strip including the Eiffel Tower replica just across the street. This stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard is a dream for couples who want a blend of elegance and city energy in their elopement photos.
It was clear that Stephanie and Chris were just so comfortable being themselves. There was no pressure, no stress—just two people genuinely enjoying every second of their wedding day.
Before we crossed over to Paris Las Vegas, we snapped a few more playful shots with the blue sky and iconic Strip buildings shining in the background. Stephanie’s dress glowed in the evening light, and Chris looked sharp in his tan blazer and navy pants.
Once we got to Paris Las Vegas, the energy shifted from golden hour warmth to full-on nighttime sparkle. This area is an elopement dream especially for couples who want a bit of vintage Vegas flair without straying too far from the Strip. The casino lights made the perfect backdrop for a flirty moment as Stephanie leaned in and adjusted Chris’s glasses with a huge smile.
The Eiffel Tower lit up in vibrant pink and purple hues as we captured a romantic wide shot of the couple in front of the glowing structure. It’s hard not to feel like you’re in a European postcard when standing here, and the nighttime ambiance gave everything a soft, dreamy vibe.
To close out their celebration, we moved to a spot between the Paris balloon and the glowing Bellagio towers—arguably one of the most iconic photo locations in all of Las Vegas. As Chris dipped Stephanie beneath the lights, the giant balloon display flashed “Mr. & Mrs.” in the background. It was pure Vegas magic.
Stephanie and Chris made their Las Vegas elopement feel like a celebration, not a production—and that’s exactly what we love to capture. If you're dreaming of a low-stress, affordable wedding photography experience in Las Vegas, this kind of joyful, iconic shoot is exactly what Opal Love is all about.
