Deciding On A Wedding In Las Vegas

By Hedrick Lepsch


Your wedding is a one-time event. You're never going to be at the altar with this person making such a big decision again. It's one of those life events that you want to document and preserve forever. It's one that's worth your careful attention after all is done to memorialize it in a scrapbook or photo album.

It's just that important that you get a photographer that will be able to capture the pictures you would want to memorialize for a lifetime.

First, as much as the big day is about you, it's also about the guests. If there were no guests, you'd likely just dress in white with the groom in a tux and get married without much thought to food, colors, seats, venue, etc. A chapel would do. A simple bouquet of flowers would be sufficient.

In fact your Las Vegas wedding would resemble the more clich image everyone carries in their mind of those that elope. The truth is that it's because of your guests that you go to such lengths to make there any "planning" to be done at all.

Pictures captured throughout the event will better memorialize the occasion than a simple hour of extraordinary pictures would. When a budget is on the line, the quantity will often be a better choice than the quality (assuming that the quality of the cheaper photographer is decent).

If you are looking for something casual, you can get married in a drive-thru. But, if you want to plan something with all of the bells and whistles, you can look through the different resorts to see what kind of wedding venues are available.

Their vested interest could also push them to go above and beyond the call of duty for your photography session. If you can't find someone in your family that could do it, consider looking into a wedding package.

There are often wedding packages available that come with venue, decorations, photography, and food. Ask the venues you're looking into if they offer a wedding package that could work for your needs.

Think about the experience of the guests, and then plan the Las Vegas wedding to accommodate to them. That's only the first step.

Step two allows you to turn your focus away from the guests. Check out your budget early and often. Get a set budget to spend on the wedding from those contributing and plan around those restrictions. A smaller Las Vegas wedding probably won't be able to afford 3 course dinners for all guests.

Although a tendency for washed out faces is bad in most cases, many of the other characteristics come down to what you think looks good. These are your memories you want to see.

If you know what is most important to you, you are going to be able to compromise on parts of your wedding that are not as important to you. Develop a plan and even a budget that will show you exactly where you want to spend the money that you have for your wedding.

Third, consider on the breadth of imagination of your photographer. Look at what kinds of pictures they take. Are they only focusing on the bride and groom? Did they perhaps bring an extra photographer to also memorialize the faces of those who came?

Did they capture the feeling of the event? Do you feel like you are there? More than just capturing the bride and groom, the photographer you want will memorialize the occasion in its entirety. From the tiniest rose to the largest crowd, their imagination leads them to take a picture of everything.

Once you secure a photographer, ask them about good places for floral arrangements, etc. These professionals work for weddings every day and network with each other.

They can help eliminate the stress of shopping around blindly with solid, reliable referrals. Ask all the organizations you hire for recommendations on a particular aspect you have yet to investigate. These five tips will help you prioritize and manage your time while planning your Las Vegas wedding. These tips streamline your work and remove excessive tasks from your to-do list.
