I met up with Morgan and Monte in the desert near Lee Canyon, right as golden hour hit. The Risky Ride (my 1985 Cadillac Eldorado) was ready for its moment. Everything about this shoot just worked. These were western engagement photos with a heavy dose of style. Clean, intentional, and full of detail. If you’re into engagement photos in Las Vegas that feel more editorial than expected, this one’s for you. Or maybe you’re looking for Las Vegas wedding announcement ideas. Either way, this session is one to take inspiration from.

Morgan & Monte’s Desert Western Engagement Photos in Las Vegas

Morgan and Monte understood the assignment. Every part of this look felt clean, bold, and made to be photographed. Her white dress was minimal in the best way. Paired with white boots, turquoise jewelry, and a wide-brimmed hat, she looked like the modern-day desert bride of your dreams.

Her glam? Flawless. Big thanks to Primrose Glam for bringing that cool, confident glow that held up through wind, dust, and golden hour light. And Mylo Fleur Floral Design created this bouquet with just the right mix of softness. It was styled to feel effortless, but still make a statement. Monte brought the energy too. A black textured jacket, bolo tie, boots. Every detail was dialed in without feeling overdone. They were definitely giving western editorial vibes.

And the backdrop? Las Vegas, but not the version you’ve seen a hundred times. This city has range. If you’re craving something quieter, more rugged, more stylish, the Lee Canyon area is one of those tucked-away spots that hits every time.

A Las Vegas Wedding Announcement, But Make It Western + Editorial

Morgan and Monte didn’t just show up for their engagement photos in Las Vegas, they made it personal. We tied up a row of tin cans, and taped a “We’re Getting Married” sign to the back. It was effortless, stylish, and such a cool take on a Las Vegas wedding announcement.

This is what happens when you lean into the details. A simple sign. A vintage car. A desert backdrop. These are the kinds of choices that make your engagement photos feel custom, elevated, and totally your own. And yes, this car is available to you too. The Risky Ride is an optional add-on for couples who want to bring a little vintage Vegas energy to their session. It’s the kind of touch that makes your shoot feel more like you and less like anyone else.
