Want to bring your own photographer to your Vegas wedding? Check the chapel’s policy before you book. Some Las Vegas wedding chapels allow outside photographers at no extra cost, others charge a fee, and some reserve ceremony photography for their in-house team.

Below, we’ve broken down the options so you can find a chapel that fits your plans—and your photography budget—before putting down a deposit.

Policies and fees can change, so confirm outside photography access, current pricing, and any time restrictions directly with your chapel before booking.

Chapels That Allow Outside Photographers At No Added Cost:

Little White Wedding Chapel

Website: https://www.alittlewhitechapel.com/

If you’ve been scrubbing Pinterest and TikTok for inspiration, chances are you’ve seen Little White once or twice. This chapel has been open since 1951, and is one of the most popular wedding chapels in Vegas. It’s home to the iconic Tunnel of Love drive-thru ceremony with the pink Cadillac.

Pro Tip: The Little Vegas Chapel (mentioned later) and the Little White Wedding Chapel are two completely different venues with different photography policies despite the similar names, easy to mix up when you’re booking quickly.

Sure Thing & Sure Thing Too

Website: https://www.surethingchapel.com/

Sure Thing Chapel is one of our favorite Las Vegas wedding chapels to photograph, with colorful retro decor, an LGBTQIA+-inclusive atmosphere, and some of the friendliest staff and officiants. The space is full of personality, and you’ll want to leave time after your ceremony for photos. Sure Thing and Sure Thing Too are right next door to each other in downtown Las Vegas, but each has its own look, so check out both before choosing your spot.

Fun fact: they’ve also opened a New York City location!

Storybrook Wedding Chapel

Website: https://storybookchapel.com/

Storybook Wedding Chapel sits inside a restored century-old building in downtown Las Vegas and is run by the same team behind Graceland Wedding Chapel. With stained-glass windows, chandeliers, and an outdoor garden and gazebo, it’s a good fit for couples who want a small Las Vegas wedding with a classic, romantic feel. You can exchange vows inside with up to 32 guests or choose a garden ceremony outdoors. There’s also the option to have your ceremony recorded, and qualifying video packages include Facebook livestreaming so loved ones back home can watch. If you’re planning a Las Vegas elopement and love the idea of a historic chapel with indoor and outdoor spaces for photos, add Storybook to your list.

That Chapel Downtown

Website: https://thatchapeldowntown.com/

This is a dramatic and editorial space. It’s located in the Arts District and has flowing drapery floor-to-ceiling which makes it super unique. It accommodates up to 50 guests, so if you’re looking for something like this, be sure to check them out!

Love Story Wedding Chapel

Website: https://lovestorywedandevents.com/

Love Story Wedding Chapel has a classic, romantic feel, with crystal chandeliers, warm lighting, and soft drapery.

Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel

Website: https://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com/

Playful, theatrical, and ready to make your wedding part of the show. From Elvis and pink Cadillac entrances to elaborate themed ceremonies, this is a fun option for couples who want to fully embrace the Vegas experience.

Paris Chapels (La Chapelle Royale & La Chapelle Champagne)

Website: https://www.caesars.com/paris-las-vegas/things-to-do/weddings

Romantic and polished, with a touch of European elegance right on the Strip. La Chapelle Royale brings a grand, cathedral-style setting, while La Chapelle Champagne offers a smaller, more modern space for an intimate celebration.

These Chapels charge an additional fee if you want to bring an outside photographer

A few chapels do charge a fee if you want to opt out of using their in-house photographer. To help offset the fee of adding an outside photographer, we offer 20% if you book at any of the following chapels. Here is a simple guide to understand the fees, but be sure to check directly with the chapel before booking.

1. The Little Vegas Chapel

Website: https://www.thelittlevegaschapel.com/

Outside photographer cost: $175

2. Chapel of Flowers

Website: https://www.littlechapel.com/

Outside photographer cost: $500

3. A Special Memory Wedding Chapel

Website: https://aspecialmemory.com/

Outside photographer cost: Copyright release is $400 (time restrictions 15 minutes in the chapel)

4. Bliss Wedding Chapel

Website: https://blisschapel.com/

Outside photographer cost: $300 (additional tip typically expected for the in-house photographer even if you’re not using their photos)

5. Caesars Palace

Website: https://www.caesars.com/caesars-palace/things-to-do/weddings

Caesars Palace currently charges a $600 fee to bring your own photographer. In our opinion, it’s worth factoring into your budget if you want a photographer that fits your style. It’s also at the top of our venue bucket list, so we’re offering 20% off any of our experiences for couples getting married here. Inquire with us here to get started!

No Outside Photography Permitted

A handful of the city’s most iconic chapels simply don’t allow outside photographers at all, meaning you’re limited to their in-house photography package no matter what you’re willing to pay. If having your own photographer is a priority, and it usually is for couples chasing a specific, bolder visual style, these three are worth ruling out early rather than falling in love with the venue first.

2. Graceland Wedding Chapel
3. Chapel of Crystals
