Their Story

Lauren and Russell are an online dating success story. After meeting 5 years ago they knew they were a great fit and moved in together a year later. A year after that they bought a house together and then the rest is history.  Russell popped the question on a secluded beach in the Bahamas during a vacation with friends. The two were so eager to finally be married that they decided to elope on the trip to Vegas they had already planned and make it official!

They chose the beautiful Red Rock Canyon to have their ceremony. One of their favorite parts of the day was taking pictures, which we hear a lot from our couples. There’s something magical about being surrounded by the vast desert and enormous red rocks.

Lauren looked perfect in a strapless lace gown from BHLD and Russell paired his sharp suit with some Converse sneakers to add his own flair. Comfort is key when you want to get some great shots in the Red Rock area and this couple was adventurous so it was a lot of fun to shoot! We wish this couple many more years of adventures together.
