Real couples. Real days. Told in full.

The Approach

Documentary instinct. Cinematic craft.

I'm Jared — a Las Vegas wedding photographer and filmmaker. After years shooting weddings across Texas, I moved my life and my cameras to the city where the light does half the work: red rock at golden hour, neon after dark, and a chapel on every corner. Every couple gets the same standard — chase the real moment first, then frame it like it belongs on a screen.

No forced poses, no cookie-cutter shot lists. Whether you're eloping at Red Rock Canyon at sunrise, saying vows in front of Elvis, or throwing a full wedding on the Strip, I build a film and a gallery around how your day actually unfolded — the nerves before the aisle, the first look, the vows that crack your voice, the last dance under a sky full of neon. Delivered with color and sound design that feels like the movies you already love.

Questions Couples Ask

Everything you're wondering, answered.

Where in Las Vegas will you photograph a wedding or elopement?

Anywhere your day takes you — Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, the dry lake beds, Seven Magic Mountains, Mount Charleston, any chapel on the Strip, a hotel suite, the neon downtown at midnight. Most of my favorite days combine two or three: desert light for the vows, city light for the after-party.

Do you shoot both photo and video?

Yes — that's the whole point of Jared Photo & Films. One storyteller, both crafts, no coordinating two vendors who've never met. You get a full gallery and a cinematic film cut from the same real moments, with color and sound design that feels like the movies you already love.

We're planning from out of state. How does this work?

Perfectly — most Las Vegas couples plan from somewhere else. We do a call, I help you pick locations and timing for your date, I point you through any permits, and the first time we meet in person is usually the day you get married. Galleries and films are delivered online.

How do we get a Nevada marriage license?

Pre-apply online with Clark County, then both of you pick it up in person at the Marriage License Bureau downtown — open 8 am to midnight, 365 days a year. No residency requirement, no blood test, no waiting period. My guide to getting married in Las Vegas walks through every step.

Do we need a permit to elope at Red Rock Canyon or Valley of Fire?

Yes — both use low-cost special use permits (BLM for Red Rock, Nevada State Parks for Valley of Fire). It's paperwork, not a hurdle, and I walk every couple through exactly what to apply for and when.

What is the best time of year to get married in Las Vegas?

October–November and March–May are the sweet spots. Winter is underrated — mild afternoons and golden hour before dinner. Summer works too; we just build the day around sunrise, shade, and neon nights instead of 2 pm sun.

Can you shoot our chapel or Elvis wedding?

Absolutely — I've photographed and filmed a wedding at A Little White Chapel, Elvis and pink Cadillac included, and it was one of the most joyful ceremonies I've ever shot. One tip: every chapel has its own outside-photographer policy, so check it before booking. Tell me which chapel and I'll help you sort it.

How much does a Las Vegas wedding photographer cost?

Most Las Vegas couples spend somewhere between $1,800 and $4,500 on wedding photography, with short elopement coverage starting lower and full-day studio packages running higher — and video is usually a separate vendor on top. My collections include photography AND film together, from $895 for a one-hour chapel elopement to $4,200 for a full wedding day, with every price published right on this page.

Is there an app for planning a Las Vegas wedding?

Yes — mine. I built Wedding Planner Pro Ai for iPhone and iPad: budget and deposit tracking, guest list and RSVPs, a run-of-show timeline you can hand your vendors, and an AI contract scanner that reads payment schedules straight off a photographed contract. It's completely private — no accounts, no data collection — and it's on the App Store. Every couple who books me gets my help setting it up for their day.

How far in advance should we book?

Vegas moves faster than most wedding markets — many elopements book one to six months out, and I take last-minute dates when the calendar allows. Popular months (October, April, May) go earliest. If your date is set, reach out now; if it isn't, reach out anyway and we'll find the light together.
