Retro Film Elopement in Las Vegas
Sidney and Eddie’s wedding day was the definition of cool. Instead of going the traditional route, they leaned into a retro film elopement in Las Vegas that felt fun, laid-back, and true to them. They said “I do” at the iconic Little White Wedding Chapel, then headed to a Unique 70s Retro Vintage Vegas Home / Mini Mansion just off the Strip for fun with family and friends. From candid film snaps to editorial portraits, their day was filled with personality. And trust me, you’re going to want to see how it all came together!
Sidney + Eddie’s Intimate Little White Chapel Elopement in Las Vegas
Sidney and Eddie made it official at the original Little White Wedding Chapel with about twenty of their favorite people. The whole ceremony was shot on 35mm and 120mm film, which gave everything that dreamy, retro edge that digital just can’t touch.
Sidney rocked a lace long-sleeve mini dress and veil (she was seriously so stunning!), while Eddie went classic in a black tux. It was simple, but so editorial together. After the vows, we took portraits outside of LWC and, of course, the pink Cadillac. Proof that a retro film elopement in Vegas will never go out of style, and these two nailed it!
Celebrating Their Retro Film Elopement at a 70s Vegas Mini-Mansion
If you’re going to have a retro film elopement in Las Vegas, this is exactly the kind of space you want to end up in. Just twelve minutes from the chapel, Sidney and Eddie found the most perfect 70s-inspired mini-mansion on Peerspace. Bold wallpaper, shag rugs, a sunken living room, and even a full bar. Every corner looked like it was made for film! I even handed my point-and-shoot to one of their guests. They went around grabbing candids of the night, which made their gallery feel even more fun and personal.
This house was basically a retro playground. From the 70s style family room, green dressing room, and even a full-on purple Prince Room tribute! They popped champagne, cut into cake, and even lounged in vintage furniture. They also enjoyed tacos, a champagne tower, and so many good film shots. It was the kind of space that didn’t just host the party, it became part of the story, and definitely a spot I’d love to shoot at again!
Digital Highlights from the Day
Here are just a few digital highlights from their wedding day. When you work with me, you get the best of both worlds — digital and film. While I always recommend adding film onto your package (especially if you’re chasing those vintage Las Vegas vibes).
Whether you’re drawn to that bold 70s feel, a softer 60s look, or something in between, film has a way of instantly transporting you back. Want to dive deeper into how these two mediums compare? Check out my blog on Digital vs Film Wedding Photography.
Why a Retro Film Elopement in Las Vegas Is Always a Good Idea
From their vows at The Little White Wedding Chapel to celebrating in a 70s-inspired mini-mansion, Sidney and Eddie’s day was the perfect mix of fun, stylish, and unique to them. Shooting it on mostly film made their story feel timeless, but having a mix of digital and film meant they got the best of both worlds.
If you’re dreaming of a retro film elopement in Las Vegas, I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re leaning into 70s disco vibes, a 60s-inspired look, or just want photos that feel cool and nostalgic, film has a way of making your wedding day unforgettable.
