Jen and Chuck

Blog post and photography by John Michael Cooper

Not every wedding we shoot is a full blown affair. Sometimes they’re elegant and quaint elopements.  Just the couple (and me, of course) to enjoy the moment and day at a very close and personal level.  The cool thing about elopements to Las Vegas is that without the big production more time can be spent having fun and of course, there’s plenty of time for photos in different locations.. Here are Chuck and Jen, a fun non-traditional couple who had a little taste of everything that Vegas has to offer.  The day started with Jen being made up by a very talented hair and make up artist, Lori White after which we shot around the Aria and City Center giving them a taste of  “New” Vegas and then to a chapel for a “very” Vegas drive-thru ceremony.  After the ceremony we were off to the coolest place that the desert here has to offer, the dry lake bed.  To end the evening we wrapped up with “old” vegas downtown with its neon and old charm.  Jen and Chuck, thanks for the great day!
