Looking for the best wedding chapels in Las Vegas, Nevada? You’re in luck! As a Las Vegas elopement and wedding photographer, I’ve captured hundreds of elopements/weddings in Las Vegas.
Known as the city of love, there are over 50 wedding chapels in Las Vegas to choose from. With that said, the ones I’m going to share with you today are some of the most popular (and some are the best in my opinion).
From chapels that allow outside photography, that don’t allow outside photography, or ones that allow it at an additional cost to you. Now let’s dive into these wedding chapels in Las Vegas so you can find the best one for you!
One thing is for certain and that is that not all wedding chapels in Las Vegas are created equal. You’ll find that some chapels don’t allow outside photography at no extra cost to you. What does this mean? It means that some chapels may actually charge you extra to bring in your own photographer that isn’t affiliated with them.
Below you’ll find the chapels that DO allow outside photography!
Little White Wedding Chapel is a well known and iconic wedding chapel in Las Vegas and one that I shoot at all the time. It’s well known for it’s drive-thru tunnel of Love, the famous Pink Cadillac, famous couples who’ve wed here, and their Elvis ceremonies.
You’ll find several different chapels and different wedding packages as well. It’s important to note that you MUST obtain your marriage license before your wedding ceremony.

Another popular wedding chapel in Las Vegas that allows outside photography is Sure Thing Chapel. This is another chapel that I frequent for elopements, and it’s always a great choice for my couples! Something to keep in mind is that you can also do vow renewals here, not just official wedding ceremonies.
Sure Thing Chapel can accommodate up to 43 guests (see their FAQ for more details). If you’re looking for a chapel that offers fun wedding package options (showgirls, Lady Elvis, Hellvis, burlesque dancers, etc.) then Sure Thing is perfect for you! They also have the cutest vintage analog photo booth that still works that’s always fun to take photos in!
Another great thing about Sure Thing Chapel is that it’s located right on Fremont Street, so you’ll have easy access to the heart of downtown Las Vegas for fun after your ceremony!

That Chapel Downtown is a modern wedding chapel in Las Vegas that is new and set to open in the fall of 2024! I’m an all inclusive vendor for the chapel, and would love to photograph your Las Vegas elopement here!
They offers several different elopement packages (anywhere from 2-50 people!). While That Chapel downtown is more expensive than other chapels, they do allow outside photographers and this is a chapel that is set to give you that more modern look if you want to elope in Vegas but with a different vibe than the “normal” Vegas vibes!
Check out the image below which shows you what That Chapel Downtown is set to look like.
There are also wedding chapels in Las Vegas that DO allow outside photographers, but at an additional cost to you. Below are three popular wedding chapels in Vegas that will allow you to bring your own photographer, but you’ll have to pay to do so.
These chapels have their own on site photographers, but it’s important to note that you will only get a handful of photos most of the time and you are essentially getting what you pay for.
Bliss Chapel is a wedding chapel in Las Vegas that is great for more more classic style elopements. They offer signature chapel ceremonies, Elvis ceremonies, and outdoor ceremonies.
It is worth it to pay the additional fee to bring your own photographer because they tend to upsell you on images or only give you a few for your money. The fee is $300. Even if you do bring your own photographer, you still have to tip the onsite photographer $25.
For example, you only get 6-18 images included in your package with the chapel. For myself, just from the ceremony alone, I usually deliver 40+ images.
The Little Vegas Chapel is another one of the popular wedding chapels in Las Vegas. They offer several different wedding packages like traditional weddings, Elvis weddings, and vow renewals. They also have two different chapels to choose from – the Archway Chapel and Imperial Chapel.
The Little Vegas Chapel does allow outside photographer for an additional cost. The cost for bringing your own photographer is $175. You can expect to receive 5-25 photos depending on the package you choose.
Chapel of Flowers is another chapel in Vegas that’s been serving couples for nearly 60 years. They have several indoor and outdoor chapel options accommodating anywhere from 2-88 guests, as well as many wedding packages to choose from as well.
Chapel of Flowers is another Las Vegas wedding venue that does allow outside photographers at an additional cost. This cost is $500.
Now there are also wedding chapels in Las Vegas that do not allow outside photographers at all. For these chapels, you will have to use their in house photographers. So, if you’re looking for a specific style of photography or want your own photographer, I would not recommend these chapels.
The Little Church of The West has multiple indoor and outdoor chapels and some that are even off site as well. They also offer 6 different wedding packages ranging from $199-$1495. There is also a 10% weekend surcharge for ceremonies on Fri-Sun.
Again, you cannot bring your own photographer to Little Church of The West. They have their own photographers and you will get a “credit” towards images ranging anywhere from $50 – $250 depending on what package you choose.
Graceland Wedding Chapel is another one of the very well known wedding chapels in Las Vegas. It’s known as “the worlds first Elvis themed wedding“. They can also perform ceremonies in multiple different languages as well if you’re traveling from afar and not fluent in English.
The chapel itself is small. They offer traditional wedding packages, Elvis wedding packages, and even Elvis/traditional group ceremonies.
Chapel of Crystals in a wedding chapel in Las Vegas that is part of Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. You can choose from an indoor wedding or outdoor/scenic wedding packages. They also offer different themes such as traditional, Elvis, Prince, Mob themed weddings, and more.
You will not be able to bring your own outside photographer to this chapel, and your images will be chosen by their on site photographers.
If you’re looking for wedding chapels in Las Vegas that are located right on the strip, there are a few decent options to consider.
One thing that is important to note is that sometimes these chapels will let you book the venue “bare bones”. This means you can bring all of your own vendors rather than purchase one of their packages. This is what I’m actually doing myself for my vow renewal at La Chapelle Royale!
La Chapelle Royale is a cathedral style chapel that can accommodate up to 90 guests.
La Chapelle Champagne is a modern style chapel that can accommodate up to 30 guests.
Both of these chapels are through Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino and are good options if you’re looking for something on the strip that allows outside photography where you can create the kind of space you want. You can see virtual tours of these chapels here.
