Las Vegas has always been a place where couples can toss out the wedding rulebook. From spur-of-the-moment chapel ceremonies to full-scale celebrations on the Strip, the city’s wedding culture is built around the idea that there isn’t one “right” way to get married. The best LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographers in Las Vegas understand that better than most—and know how to document couples as they actually are, rather than forcing them into traditional wedding roles or poses.
And Vegas gives photographers one incredible playground. Neon signs and vintage motels. Desert landscapes and red-rock formations. Casino glamour, downtown murals and iconic chapels. The best Las Vegas wedding photographers know how to use all of it while keeping the people in front of their cameras at the center of the story.
For LGBTQ+ couples, choosing that person carries an additional layer of importance. Your photographer is with you for some of the day’s most intimate moments, so you deserve someone who won’t just be comfortable photographing your relationship, but will celebrate it.
How We Chose These LGBTQ+ Friendly Las Vegas Wedding Photographers
Every photographer on this list is either a member of The Love List, Love Inc.’s directory of equality-minded wedding professionals, or has photographed a real wedding featured on Love Inc. And every one actively celebrates LGBTQ+ couples, so you can spend less time wondering whether you’ll feel comfortable in front of their camera and more time finding the photography style that feels like you.
Top Wedding Photographers in Las Vegas for LGBTQ+ Couples
The Combs Creative
For couples who want wedding photos that land somewhere between candid storytelling and a magazine editorial, The Combs Creative brings both perspectives behind the lens.
Husband-and-wife team Jess and Corey Combs blend documentary-style coverage with thoughtful editorial direction, creating images that feel polished without losing the personality and emotion of the day. Their signature look is true-to-color with a subtle vintage, film-inspired feel, and their work spans both photography and videography.
While now based in Boston, the duo continues to regularly photograph weddings and elopements in Las Vegas, from intimate Strip ceremonies to Red Rock Canyon portraits and full-scale celebrations. And their Love Inc. credentials are particularly fitting here: The Combs Creative photographed our fabulously queer Valentine’s Day wedding inspiration at Red Rock Country Club, so we’ve seen their inclusive work firsthand.
Cascade & Canyon Photography
If the Vegas you have in mind involves fewer casinos and more wide-open desert, Cascade & Canyon Photography should be on your radar.
The Las Vegas-based photography team specializes in weddings and elopements, with a portfolio that makes especially beautiful use of the landscapes surrounding the city. Think dramatic rock formations, desert light and those seemingly endless Nevada skies alongside downtown and classic Vegas imagery.
Their work has an adventurous, story-driven feel that lends itself particularly well to couples who aren’t necessarily planning a traditional ballroom wedding—or who want to escape into the desert for portraits even if they are. It’s romantic without feeling overly posed, allowing the scenery to be spectacular without swallowing up the people who are actually getting married.

Jamie Y Photography
Jamie Y Photography has been photographing Las Vegas weddings and elopements for more than a decade, and her work strikes that tricky balance between polished and genuinely fun.
Jamie describes her style as colorful, candid and creative, and that’s reflected in a portfolio that embraces both the eccentricity of Vegas and the emotion of a wedding day. She’s equally at home photographing couples beneath glowing downtown neon as she is heading into the desert for portraits, making her a great fit for couples who want their images to have a strong sense of place.
We especially love a photographer who understands that not every meaningful wedding photograph needs to be serious. Vegas is fun. Your relationship is fun. Your wedding photos are allowed to be fun, too.
Adam Trujillo Photography
For couples drawn to imagery that feels bold, polished and editorial, Adam Trujillo Photography brings a fashion-forward eye to Las Vegas weddings.
Adam’s approach extends beyond simply documenting what’s happening in front of him. His photography leans into composition, lighting and portraiture to create images with impact while still capturing the candid moments happening throughout the day.
That combination makes him an especially compelling choice for couples who want the best of both worlds: photographs that document how the wedding actually felt, plus the kind of portraits you’ll immediately want blown up and hung on a wall.
And Adam’s LGBTQ+ inclusivity isn’t theoretical to us—we’ve seen his work firsthand through the queer weddings he’s photographed and that we’ve featured on Love Inc.

Moxie Studio Photography
Husband-and-wife team Lisa and Jamison of Moxie Studio Photography have spent years photographing weddings throughout Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin and Lake Las Vegas, giving them the kind of local knowledge that’s particularly valuable in a destination as visually—and logistically—unique as Vegas.
Their photography combines candid storytelling with creative portraiture, capturing both the big moments and the quieter interactions that can disappear surprisingly quickly once a wedding day gets moving.
That experience also matters when you’re planning a Vegas wedding from somewhere else. A local photographer who knows the venues, the light and the realities of getting around the city can be an invaluable resource, particularly if you’re hoping to venture away from your ceremony location for portraits.

Amber & Co Photography
Run by husband-and-wife team Amber and Austin, Amber & Co Photography brings a warm, storytelling-focused approach to weddings in Las Vegas and beyond.
Their imagery feels romantic and natural, with an emphasis on connection rather than overly constructed moments. It’s the kind of photography that works particularly well for couples who look at beautifully posed wedding portraits and immediately start wondering, “But what do I do with my hands?”
A photographer’s ability to make you feel comfortable matters for every couple, but it can be especially important for LGBTQ+ couples who may have spent years seeing wedding imagery that rarely reflected relationships like theirs. The goal shouldn’t be fitting you into someone else’s idea of what wedding photos are supposed to look like. It’s creating images that actually feel like the two of you.

Elizabeth Le Photography
Elizabeth Le Photography is for couples who want their photographs to feel like their wedding rather than a wedding photo shoot.
Elizabeth photographs weddings and elopements throughout Las Vegas with an approach centered on candid moments, genuine emotion and storytelling. Her work has a natural quality that allows personality to come through—which is particularly appealing if the idea of spending hours performing for a camera sounds like the opposite of how you want to experience your wedding day.
She’s also well versed in what makes Las Vegas such a distinctive place to photograph, from intimate elopements to larger celebrations. Whether your backdrop is desert, downtown or unmistakably Vegas, the relationship remains the focus.

Fig & Willow Studios
Bright, romantic and full of feeling, Fig + Willow Studios is a great fit for couples who want wedding photos that feel polished without spending the day locked into stiff poses.

Frequently Asked Questions About LGBTQ+ Wedding Photographers in Las Vegas
Can gay couples get married in Las Vegas?
Yes. Gay couples can legally get married in Las Vegas and follow the same marriage-license requirements as any other couple.
Clark County does not have a waiting period or require a blood test, and couples can marry as soon as they’ve obtained their marriage license. Both people must appear together to pick up the license and present qualifying identification.
That famously easy process is one reason Vegas remains such a popular destination for elopements and weddings. Whether you’re planning a spontaneous gay wedding in Vegas, an intimate chapel ceremony or a full destination weekend, your marriage is just as legal as anyone else’s.
How do I find LGBTQ+ friendly wedding photographers in Las Vegas?
Start with a photographer’s actual body of work. Do LGBTQ+ couples appear in their portfolio, blog and social media? Does their website use inclusive language? Do they explicitly state that they welcome LGBTQ+ clients rather than relying on a vague “we love everyone” statement?
You can also use a vetted directory like The Love List, where the work of determining whether a wedding professional is equality-minded has already been done. A beautiful portfolio is important, but you should also feel confident that the person behind the camera is genuinely excited to photograph your relationship.
What should LGBTQ+ couples ask a wedding photographer before booking?
Ask whether they’ve photographed LGBTQ+ couples before and how they approach posing without relying on gendered roles. A good photographer should be able to direct you based on your personalities, bodies, clothing and connection—not assumptions about who is supposed to take the traditionally “masculine” or “feminine” position.
It’s also worth asking to see complete LGBTQ+ wedding galleries, not just a few portfolio highlights. Pay attention to how couples are photographed throughout the entire day: getting ready, portraits, ceremony, family photos and reception.
And don’t underestimate chemistry. Your photographer will likely spend more time physically near you on your wedding day than almost any other vendor. Feeling safe, understood and relaxed around them will show in your photographs.
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Las Vegas?
Wedding photography pricing in Las Vegas varies considerably depending on the number of hours, number of photographers and what’s included in the package. As a current benchmark, Las Vegas-based Moxie Studio Photography lists wedding collections ranging from $2,600 for four hours to $5,400 for nine hours, with its eight-hour package priced at $4,500. Other local photographers currently list eight-hour photography packages from approximately $2,500 to $4,500, illustrating just how much pricing can vary by photographer and package.
Elopements and shorter Vegas weddings may require far fewer hours of coverage, so don’t assume you need a traditional full-day package. When comparing photographers, look at hours of coverage, whether a second photographer is included, engagement sessions, albums, travel and digital-image delivery—not just the starting price.
