A Glamorous, Intimate Black-Tie Wedding in Las Vegas

A Las Vegas wedding is always a mix of glamour, fun, and unforgettable moments—and Jess and Ross’ intimate black-tie celebration was no exception. With all the style and energy you’d expect from a Vegas wedding, their day was nothing short of perfection.

“Extremely Friendly, very professional and pictures were unreal! Danielle came all the way to vegas to do the photography for my pals weddings! She was a great person, very approachable and made us feel welcome! Was amazed by how the images came out too!” Lee- Wedding Guest

A Weekend of Celebration

Jess and Ross were joined by 20 of their closest family and friends, all of whom had traveled to Las Vegas for a few days of pre-wedding celebrations. The festivities began at the stunning Venetian Hotel and Casino, right in the heart of the Strip, where the couple and their guests soaked in the electric energy of the city.

The morning of the wedding was filled with excitement as Jess got ready with her two bridesmaids and her mom. Her sister-in-law-to-be, the talented hairstylist behind The Sculpt Salon; https://www.instagram.com/sculpt.salon who created a flawless blowout that gave Jess a timeless, Priscilla Presley-inspired look. She wore an elegant floor-length gown with a low back and delicate button detailing, finishing the look with a layered veil for the perfect touch of classic glamour. As a florist herself, Jess chose a simple yet sophisticated bouquet of white flowers, perfectly complementing her minimalist aesthetic.

Meanwhile, Ross and the groomsmen kicked off their morning with beers at one of the many Venetian bars before suiting up. Ross looked sharp in a black-tie ensemble, pairing a crisp white tuxedo jacket with classic black trousers—effortlessly stylish.

A party limo arrived to take Jess and her dad to the ceremony. The ride was filled with music, laughter, and celebratory shots—because if you're getting married in Vegas, there's no better way to arrive than in a limo, singing your heart out with your dad!

The Ceremony: A Retro Vegas Dream

Jess and Ross exchanged vows at The Sure Thing Chapel, a hidden gem on the iconic Fremont Street. This vintage-inspired chapel was bursting with personality, featuring eclectic furnishings, a retro photo booth (a dream for any photographer!), and a stunning pink velvet curtain backdrop shaped like a giant heart.

The ceremony was short, sweet, personal, and filled with laughter. Instead of traditional confetti—since it’s not allowed—guests waved ribbon wands, creating a whimsical, celebratory send-off as the newlyweds made their way down the aisle.

After the ceremony, the wedding party took a short stroll to Atomic Liquors, one of Vegas' most legendary bars. There, the group sipped on craft cocktails, soaked up the sunshine on the terrace, and even indulged in a few celebratory cigars.

““Danni photographed our wedding in sept this year! Her photos captured the day perfectly and she made us feel so comfortable and caught all of the natural moments and feel of the day which was really important to us. We had an elopement wedding so Danni travelled to be there with no hassle and was so professional and reliable throughout the whole booking process, she was so warm and felt like part of our wedding without being intrusive in any way. Thank you Danni for sharing in the memories of our day and being such a big part of our wedding, we will recommend you to everyone 🤍” ”

Sunset Magic at Carson Kitchen

As the golden hour bathed the city in warm light, I stole a few moments with Jess and Ross to capture some effortlessly romantic portraits on the way to their reception. Their wedding dinner was hosted on the rooftop terrace of Carson Kitchen, a trendy spot known for its incredible atmosphere and mouthwatering food.

The intimate setup reflected Jess’ minimalist yet elegant style, with custom stationery in burgundy and cream tones that she designed herself (check out her work here – https://www.aprildaysdesign.com/) . Guests were greeted with margaritas as the open bar kicked off the evening.

Keeping things relaxed, only Jess’ dad gave a speech—but what a speech it was! The perfect balance of humour and heartfelt emotion, leaving the entire party in tears one moment and roaring with laughter the next. As the sun set, casting a golden glow over the rooftop, the atmosphere was pure magic. The food was just as impressive as the setting—deviled eggs, flatbreads, and chicken skins and thighs, made for a feast that had everyone raving.

Before heading out for the night, Jess changed into her second look: a chic, short dress from Odd Muse London—the perfect party dress to dance the night away in!

Karaoke + Fremont Street Adventures

After dinner, the group took to the streets of downtown Vegas, hopping between bars and soaking in the electric energy of Fremont Street. The night ended at the legendary Cats Meow, one of the best karaoke spots in town.

The moment they walked in, Jess and Ross jumped on stage, mics in hand, singing their hearts out alongside their guests. The energy was wild, the drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere was pure Vegas magic—exactly how a wedding night in this city should be.

A Wedding to Remember

Photographing Jess and Ross’ wedding was an absolute honour. Their day was the perfect blend of sophistication, fun, emotion, and that unmistakable Vegas sparkle. From heartfelt moments to all-out partying, this wedding had it all—and I have no doubt that the memories made will last a lifetime.

Thank you so much Jess and Ross and an unforgettable Vegas love story!
