Fun and Easy Elopement at the Little White Chapel

Richard and Tessa knew exactly what they wanted for their wedding day: something simple, joyful, and totally stress-free. And where better to make that happen than at the iconic Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas? With a relaxed vibe and just a few close family members in tow, they tied the knot in classic Vegas fashion—fun, easygoing, and full of smiles.

Inside the chapel, the energy was light and full of laughter. Tessa looked amazing in her off-the-shoulder dress, holding a delicate tulip bouquet, while Richard looked proud and content walking her down the aisle. The whole space glowed white, with soft lighting and retro-chic drapes that added just the right amount of vintage Vegas charm.

After the ceremony, we stepped outside to explore the chapel grounds. The Little White Chapel is one of the most legendary wedding spots in Las Vegas, known for its quirky, romantic vibe. From the classic white signage to the little garden spaces tucked around the venue, it was the perfect place for some relaxed post-ceremony photos.

Tessa’s tulips added a sweet pop of color that matched her joyful energy. She took a quiet moment to herself by the window inside the chapel, the soft light casting a beautiful glow across her features.

Back outside, we captured more shots of the couple in the sunny courtyard area. With bare trees wrapped in fairy lights and the warm Nevada sun beaming down, it made for a dreamy little photo backdrop.

Of course, we couldn’t skip a photo under the famous “24 Hr Drive-Up Wedding Window” sign—because nothing says “Vegas elopement” like that iconic red heart and ribbon.

To wrap things up, Richard gave Tessa a playful dip-and-kiss moment under the chapel’s ceiling of painted cherubs and stars. It was a total highlight—sweet, spontaneous, and very them.

Even though we only spent a short time together, Richard and Tessa made it clear how special this day was. Their elopement was everything Las Vegas weddings are meant to be—simple, memorable, and full of personality. It was such a joy to be part of it, and I’m so glad I got to capture their easygoing celebration at one of the most fun spots in town.
