Why Ditch the Big Wedding and Elope in Vegas (From a our POV)
Hey rebels, weirdos, and lovers of authenticity — it’s your friendly storytellers from Wandering Media Co., here to talk about why the bold choice to elope instead of throwing a massive wedding can be the smarter, freer, and more you way to get married — especially when that “you” happens to end up in Las Vegas (or beyond).
Traditional weddings with 200 guests, colour-coordinated napkins, and Aunt Martha’s seating chart? Great if that’s your thing.
But if you’re dreaming of something real, raw, and wildly your own — welcome home.
Our Mindset
When we show up for an elopement, we’re not there just to take “pretty” photos and videos of dresses and details.
We’re there to document the real stuff: the wind in your hair, the laughter that bursts out mid-vow, the quiet in-between moments that hit harder than any choreographed pose.
That’s what Wandering Media Co. is all about — our clients choose emotion over perfection, connection over performance.
When you elope, you give yourselves (and your photographers) the freedom to slow down, explore, and be completely present with each other.
We will collaborate together to plan your day from customized location ideas, local vendor recommendations, help with any permits, unique activity suggestions + a thoughtfully curated timeline for your day(s).
Why Las Vegas Is the Ultimate Elopement Location
Las Vegas might just be the most underrated elopement destination out there.
Here’s why it works so damn well:
• Endless variety. Neon lights, desert landscapes, red rock canyons — you can go from glitz to grit in 20 minutes.
• Accessibility. Major airport, easy travel, tons of rentals for every budget.
• Iconic energy. You can literally say your vows with an Elvis impersonator… or in this case, Hellvis Hendrix — Vegas’ punk-rock officiant at Sure Thing Chapel.
• Flexibility. Whether it’s just the two of you or a few of your closest humans, Vegas makes it easy to elope your way.
• Breathtaking nature. Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and Lake Mead are all short drives from the Strip.
Vegas lets you mix wild adventure with city sparkle — and that contrast? Chef’s kiss for storytelling photos.

The Ceremony: Saying “I Do” with Hellvis
If you’re going to elope in Vegas, why not go full send?
Enter Hellvis Hendrix — the leather-clad, guitar-wielding anti-hero of elopement officiants.
At Sure Thing Chapel, Hellvis brings rock-n-roll energy to your vows — think grit, humor, and just enough chaos to make it unforgettable.
We’ll plan the ceremony around your vibe — maybe golden hour in the desert, or a twilight vow exchange before we hit the Strip for portraits.
One-Day Elopement Timeline (Vegas Style)
Here’s what a full-day elopement could look like, through the eyes of your media team:
8:00 AM Wake up in your chosen rental, coffee in hand, chill-moment together.
9:00 AM Hair & makeup (if you’re doing), partner gets ready; we’re arriving, scouting light.
10:30 AM First look / quick portraits in the rental or nearby scenic spot.
11:30 AM Drive out to ceremony location
12:00 PM Your ceremony & vows with Hellvis Hendrix — yes, that Hellvis
12:30 PM Champagne pop or celebratory walk/hike; we’re documenting every unscripted grin.
1:30 PM Lunch picnic or relaxed restaurant on route back toward the Strip.
3:00 PM Exploration portraits: perhaps neon reflections, city view, (Vegas brights).
4:30 PM Sunset session: golden hour in desert or high vantage point overlooking Vegas.
6:30 PM Head back, rest, quick wardrobe change if you like.
8:00 PM Dinner (maybe rooftop or back at rental) + celebration with any guests you invited.
10:00 PM Nightcap walk or glowy-lights session on the Strip — fun, free, spontaneous.
Why this works: You’re not trapped in an 8-hour seating, brisk pace. You get intentioned time for each segment. As photographers, we capture the day in its full arc: calm → ceremony → adventure → light-magic. It’s real. It’s you.
Two-Day Elopement Timeline
Want to slow down even more? Here’s a two-day version:
Day 1
• Arrive and settle into your Airbnb.
• Sunset pre-wedding portraits in the desert.
• Dinner + relax.
Day 2
• Chill morning together.
• Late-morning ceremony with Hellvis at Sure Thing Chapel or outdoors.
• Midday adventure photos in the desert.
• Sunset portraits on the Strip.
• Dinner and celebration with your crew.
Two-day elopements give you space to breathe, explore, and let the story unfold naturally.
*You can also switch the days around and have your relaxing ceremony day followed by a more adventorous day in the desert!

Key Planning Tips
• Golden hour = magic. Desert light changes fast — plan your ceremony around it.
• Permits matter. Parks like Red Rock require photo permits.
• Weather watch. Desert winds and heat are real — pack smart.
• Make it legal. Nevada’s marriage process is quick but you still need a license + officiant. (Or run to city hall beforehand ;)
• Focus on experience. Skip filler traditions and do what feels like you. Want a first dance? Let’s make it happen!
• Our 50+ page magazine. That’s right, we’ve created a magazine to help you plan your wedding/elopement!
