Where to Go After Your Special Memory Chapel Wedding
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel is a classic Las Vegas chapel location that has the traditional chapel look, a fun drive-thru wedding window, and an old-school Vegas aesthetic that so many couples love. It’s perfect if you’re planning a micro wedding, elopement, or a vow renewal.
I’ve photographed many couples here for intimate weddings, laid-back elopements, vow renewals, and after-dark portraits. I also photographed Robin Thicke and April Love Geary here for their Las Vegas wedding photos. You can see it on the blog: ‘A Second Ceremony: April Love Geary & Robin Thicke in Las Vegas‘. Their session was later featured by People, and it was definitely as fun as it looked.
And because I photograph at this chapel often, they now works directly with me and waives the outside photographer fee for my clients. So if you want the ease of booking a classic Vegas chapel, but you also want photos that feel more like you, this is a huge perk to know about before you book.

WHAT IS A SPECIAL MEMORY WEDDING CHAPEL KNOWN FOR?
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel is known for its classic Vegas chapel setting and drive-thru wedding window. It works great for couples who want something easy and very Vegas, but more on the classic side. You can keep it simple with a small ceremony, bring a few guests, renew your vows, or plan portraits around the chapel before heading to another downtown location.
It has that old-school Las Vegas chapel look without feeling kitschy or over the top. That’s part of what makes it so good in photos.
A SPECIAL MEMORY WEDDING CHAPEL PACKAGES
Pricing for A Special Memory Wedding Chapel depends on the type of ceremony, package, guest count, and add-ons you choose. Their packages range from simple drive-thru ceremonies to traditional chapel weddings, Elvis weddings, and outdoor adventure experiences.
Before booking, I always recommend checking directly with the chapel for the most current pricing and package details. Pricing and inclusions can change, but this gives you a general idea of what they offer.
TRADITIONAL WEDDING PACKAGES
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel has several traditional wedding packages ranging from $249 to $1,395. These are good for couples who want the classic Las Vegas chapel experience with the aisle and indoor ceremony space.
This is where the chapel really leans into its nostalgic Vegas charm. Whether you’re planning something simple or bringing a small group with you, the traditional packages give you that classic chapel structure.
OUTDOOR VEGAS ADVENTURE WEDDING PACKAGES
Most of my couples choose this chapel for the chapel itself, but they do offer outdoor Vegas adventure wedding packages ranging from $1,199 to $5,299. These can include experiences like weddings with a helicopter, Grand Canyon, Mount Charleston, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
ELVIS WEDDING PACKAGES IN LAS VEGAS
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel also offers Elvis wedding packages ranging from $489 to $899. These are perfect for couples who really want to lean into the Vegas of it all.
An Elvis wedding is usually pretty fun and interactive. It’s perfect if you want your ceremony to be a little unserious for you and your partner and even guests if you have more than just you two.

DRIVE-THRU WEDDING PACKAGES IN LAS VEGAS
The drive-thru wedding packages range from $199 to $349, and is one of the easiest and most iconic ways to get married or renew your vows in Vegas.
This is also one of my favorite ways to photograph couples at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel. A lot of my clients add on the Risky Ride, my white 1985 Cadillac Eldorado, so we can take photos with it at the drive-thru. The red leather interior, the white exterior, and the classic Vegas chapel backdrop all work so well together.
WHY HIRE AN OUTSIDE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR A SPECIAL MEMORY WEDDING CHAPEL?
A chapel package may cover the basics, but hiring your own photographer gives you more control over how your day is documented. It also gives you someone focused on your full experience, not just photos at the chapel itself.
When you work with me, I’m thinking about the entire gallery. Most of my couples hire me for photos before at their hotel suite (see my ‘The Best Las Vegas Hotels to Stay at During Your Elopement‘), then the chapel, then we go out and get photos at other iconic locations like Fremont Street and/or the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign.
And because A Special Memory Wedding Chapel waives the outside photographer fee for my clients, you can have the chapel experience and still bring in photography that feels more intentional and the exact style you’re looking for.
BEST PHOTO SPOTS AT A SPECIAL MEMORY WEDDING CHAPEL
A Special Memory Wedding Chapel has a lot more photo potential than couples realize. The chapel itself is great for ceremony coverage, but the exterior itself gives all the Vegas energy. You have the signage, the drive-thru window, and the street-facing chapel entrance that all photograph beautifully (especially with flash.)
Some of my favorite spots to photograph here:
- Inside the chapel for classic ceremony photos and newlywed portraits
- The chapel entrance for that Vegas chapel look
- The drive-thru wedding window
- The exterior signage for flash-heavy, after-dark photos
- The Risky Ride, my 1985 white Cadillac Eldorado, for vintage Vegas portraits
WHERE TO GO AFTER YOUR TIME AT A SPECIAL MEMORY WEDDING CHAPEL
After your time at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel, you have so many ways to keep the day going. You can head downtown for flash portraits, meet your people for dinner, rent a vintage car, cut into a custom cake, and just turn the whole thing into a full experience.
That’s the best part of eloping in Las Vegas. Your day doesn’t have to end when the chapel ceremony is over. You can keep it simple with an intimate dinner for two, celebrate with family and friends, or add something completely unexpected. I’ve had couples rent a jet, bring a custom cake, book a cool bar, and plan a day that felt nothing like a traditional wedding timeline.
