There’s something undeniably special about a no-frills, all-feels kind of day. Just the two of them, a little nervous, standing on a heart-shaped decal at a Vegas drive-thru window. And somehow, it still felt like the whole world stopped spinning for a minute. Lyric and Haedan’s Little White Wedding Chapel elopement was exactly the kind of love story that doesn’t need anything more than the couple, the vows, and the electric joy of knowing: we did it. This was a short and sweet 60-minute session, but man, it packed a punch proof that magic doesn’t need hours to bloom!
A Dress That Deserved Its Own Spotlight
Let’s just start with the obvious: Lyric’s dress slayed. A bold, unapologetic red lace dream with matching gloves and veil that turned every photo into an editorial moment. It wasn’t just a fashion statement it was a mood, a declaration, a wink at tradition while dancing entirely to its own beat. Against the chapel’s pastel kitsch and Elvis-themed murals, she looked like the main character in a vintage love story told through 35mm film. The way Haedan looked at her said everything. He was beaming. And, couldn’t stop smiling the entire time, and honestly, neither could I.
Standing on the Heart (Literally)
We started their ceremony at the iconic Drive-Thru Wedding Window, yes, that one. They said “I do” while standing on the painted heart that reads, “We got married standing on this heart”. It’s a little on the nose in the best possible way. There’s something about The Little White Wedding Chapel that feels deeply sincere. One minute you’re laughing at the pink Cadillac, and the next you’re wiping a tear because it’s all just so beautifully real. That was the vibe of the entire session: playful, raw, and totally unfiltered.
The Magic Started With No Guests, No Pressure & No Timeline
No guests. No pressure. And no timelines to chase. Just Lyric, Haedan, and a pocket of time to breathe it all in. These are my favorite kinds of elopements where it’s just me and the couple, wrapped in the quiet permission to be present. The energy was calm, a little giggly, and totally theirs. We moved at their pace, capturing all the sweet glances and nervous laughs that unfolded naturally. No distractions. No crowd. Just two people madly in love under a Vegas sky.
After the vows, we took a little spin (figuratively) around the venue with that infamous pink Cadillac. It’s campy and iconic and somehow made Lyric’s red gown pop even more. She slipped into the back seat like a starlet from a 1960s road trip film. And Haedan? He leaned into the vibe like he’d been born to wear a red pocket square. Every frame from that sequence looked like a postcard from an alternate universe where love is louder, and color is the main character.
A Glimpse Inside A Little White Wedding Chapel Elopement: Vintage Neon, Bold Color, and Pure Joy
We finished up around the front of the chapel under the “Tunnel of Love” and strolled briefly through the surrounding streets. You could still feel their jitters softening into joy. They were relaxed, playful, and glowing from the inside out. It was the kind of session that reminds you that weddings don’t need an audience to be unforgettable, they just need two people willing to show up fully and love without apology.
