Recently, my bestie and her family came out to visit us in Vegas! Some of you may already know Ashleigh from your weddings and/or engagement shoots with us, and you know what a gem of a human being she is. She and her husband celebrated their 13th anniversary in October, and what better way to celebrate Lucky 13 than with a session in Vegas?! We scouted out a ton of locations, but eventually landed on Nelson Ghost Town (it felt right with it being their 13th - sPoOoOkY, right?). Also known as Eldorado Canyon, it’s an easy, super scenic 50-minute drive from the strip. I absolutely love shooting there! The owners are so nice, and the scenery is really unmatched. You can get married on their property, book photo sessions, or just visit and check it out. You can also book a mine tour through their website!
The property is full of historic buildings and artifacts, vintage cars, incredible cholla cacti, and the light is amazing. Please keep in mind that Eldorado Canyon / Nelson Ghost Town DOES require a permit & fee for all photo sessions and events. If you choose to visit, please be respectful and follow all of the owners’ guidelines.
We had such a blast exploring the property with our families, and even had enough time to catch the sunset looking over Lake Mead. It was a really, really good day. I can’t wait to squeeze them again soon!
If you’re interested in booking your own elopement or session at Nelson Ghost Town, I’d love to help.
Reach out to book now!
