The Approach
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.

Plan Your Vegas Wedding
Most of my couples plan their Las Vegas wedding from somewhere else. These guides are the local knowledge I give every couple who inquires — free, whether you book me or not.
Red rock, dry lakes, neon, chapels, and an actual alpine mountain — the full map of where to say your vows, from someone who shoots there.
Read the guideThe permit, the timed entry, the golden-hour timing, and a sample elopement day — everything the canyon asks of you and everything it gives back.
Read the guideThe most dramatic backdrop in Nevada — Fire Wave, White Domes, the special use permit, and the honest truth about summer heat.
Read the guideWhat a chapel wedding is actually like, the famous chapels compared, and the photographer policy to check before you book. I've shot one — it was joyful, not kitsch.
Read the guideThe marriage license, step by step — the easiest legal wedding in America, plus the best months to marry and a simple planning checklist.
Read the guideBuilt by Your Photographer
I've stood through enough wedding days to know exactly where the planning falls apart — so I built the tools I wished my couples had. Book me and you don't just get a photographer and filmmaker; you get the whole kit.
My iPhone & iPad app for couples planning a wedding anywhere — and tuned for Vegas.
Everything in my online guides and a whole lot more — venues, permits, timelines, and the city itself — becoming a full travel guide you can throw in a carry-on. Mention it when you inquire and you'll be the first to know when it lands.
Questions Couples Ask
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
