If you’re the kind of couple who isn’t afraid to get a little messy, embrace the chaos, and let your love be loud, then a 7 Magic Mountains elopement might be exactly your kind of magic.
This shoot didn’t give us golden hour or blue skies. It gave us wind. Dust. Storm clouds rolling over the Mojave Desert. And it gave us something even better than perfection: realness.
Why 7 Magic Mountains Is an Iconic Elopement Spot
Set just outside of Las Vegas, 7 Magic Mountains is a massive public art installation made up of neon-painted boulders stacked high against the desert landscape. It’s weird, bold, unexpected — kind of like the couples I tend to attract.
If you’re looking for a place that already breaks tradition, you don’t have to add much. The art is the aesthetic. Whether you’re wearing boots and black leather or soft lace and windswept hair, this place makes you look like you walked off the pages of a high-fashion editorial — without trying too hard.
The Day the Wind Took Over — and We Let It
When we pulled up, the wind was already intense. The clouds were heavy. The kind of sky that tells you something big is coming.
But we didn’t cancel. We didn’t reschedule. We leaned in.
The wind whipped the dress in every direction. Her hair went wild. His jacket flared out behind him. And suddenly, every shot felt alive. Every frame was movement and emotion and energy. It wasn’t about posing anymore — it was about being. Being present. Being open. Being real.
This is what I love about elopements. There’s no rigid timeline, no pressure to keep the dress pristine. It’s just two people, the landscape, and whatever the world throws at you.
How to Embrace the Unexpected in Your Elopement
If you’re planning a 7 Magic Mountains elopement, here’s what I want you to know:
- Wind is your friend (seriously). It adds emotion, motion, and story to your photos. Flowy fabrics and unstructured hair look incredible in it.
- Ditch the perfection mindset. Stormy weather? Hair in your mouth? Dust on your dress? Good. That’s how you’ll remember it.
- Be flexible. Sunrise or sunset are ideal for softer light and fewer crowds, but the weather may do its own thing. That’s part of the adventure.
- Trust your photographer (hi, it’s me 👋). I know how to work with the elements and create magic out of mess.
