Jennifer & Brian: Red Rock Canyon Elopement Las Vegas

Mar 21, 2014 | Posted by: Megan Stay

Jennifer and Brian were my first ever couple from Scotland. When Jennifer told me that Brian was planning on wearing his kilt, I about died of happiness. I was honored that they chose me to photograph their elopement out at Red Rock Canyon last July.

Being in the first trimester of my pregnancy and knowing the heat of the day would catch up quick I opted for a giant cooler full of water and lots of snacks for our mini hike up to the scenic ceremony site that Angie Kelly of Peachy Keen Unions found for us. I was in no condition to go trekking around to find any place and I was so grateful to her for taking the lead on that decision!

Luckily for Jennifer and Brian, the insane fire up at Mount Charelston (that had closed Red Rock Canyon the weekend before their wedding date and coated the valley in a red smoke) had been contained and the park was open. I was so nervous the previous weekend that their dream location wouldn’t work out. Can you imagine coming all the way to Las Vegas and the beautiful place you wanted to say your vows was close?! Lots of prayers were said, let me tell you what.
