Dreamy Deserted Chapel

When planning your destination wedding, there are so many options in Las Vegas. From ombré colored mountains to striking golden sunsets and fun photo ops to cactus fields, but none but one have it all at one location. That’s why this is post is an Ode to Nelson’s Ghost Town.

Located a short 45 minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip, Nelson’s Ghost Town (sometimes referred to as El Dorado Canyon) is a huge property located in Nelson, NV that was once a booming mine town. Now its owned by a lovely local family who rents the space for visits, tours, and weddings/photo/film permits. In fact, Nelson’s Ghost Town is a very popular filming location for movies and TV and even some of the props remain (plane from 3000 Miles to Graceland). This all adds of for a never-ending opportunity of photography delight.

But wait, there’s more! From a huge barn full of vintage treasure to retro cars, there’s no shortage of great spots.

Nelson’s Ghost Town is unique because not only does it present layers of photography ops, it also allows for capturing of the natural gorgeous desert setting.

And the absolute best thing about eloping at Nelson’s Ghost Town, its only $699 to get married in the chapel with up to 10 guests and all your photos included!!

This gorgeous stained glass chapel does have seating for more guests and tons of options for amazing add ons like lush bouquets and luxury transportation.

Pro Tip, book the last chapel booking session so you can capture some night time shots too!
