Just wanted to send a note to let you know how THRILLED we were with your services. I'm not sure what I expected, but you surpassed it! Our limo driver was great, the minister was professional, and courteous. He did a wonderful job, better than some weddings I've attended that cost much more. The photographer/photo's were awesome. I can't believe the link to our photos & video were here before we got home! And to have our photo's just a week after the wedding.. that's unheard of! Thank you for making our wedding so easy, and memorable. I've been singing your praises since We've been home :)
John & Wendy Gladhill
First off, we would like to thank you for providing us with such a wonderful wedding experience. The location was more beautiful than we could have imagined and all the people involved we so nice and friendly. The minister, photographer and limo drivers helped to make the day most memorable. We had a fantastic day and would recommend you to anyone who wants to do something different on their wedding day.

Ministers are similar to JOP's in Las Vegas. They have a privileged license to perform weddings. Unlike other places where a person who belongs to a church or religious group can automatically perform weddings. Here it is a very regulated industry. There are only a few issued.
If we receive four inches of rain for the whole year we are lucky. It just doesn't come into play. This is one of the main reasons Las Vegas is so Popular with Outdoor Weddings.
Dear Las Vegas Weddings,
Thanks for doing a great job on our special day. Everything was perfect! Your limo driver called to say he was en route to our hotel, arrived right on time, was patient with our wedding party and got us to Valley of Fire in well under one hour. Once there, the photographer and minister introduced themselves and gave us plenty of time to collect everyone. The ceremony was perfect, everyone was happy and it was just a flawless operation.
This deluxe wedding package was an excellent bang for the buck. I've been to plenty of weddings that cost exponentially more and weren't a fraction as nice. While I hope this will be my only wedding, I won't hesitate to recommend LVW to others planning their big day. Thanks again for a job superbly done.
Cheers,
Richard LeSchander and Sandy Li
*at various times the use of outside limousines may be required

The quickest way ....
From Las Vegas, drive north on Interstate 15 approximately 35 miles to State Route 169. The Exit is well marked. Drive east on Route 169 for approximately 15 miles. This takes you to the entrance of the Valley Of Fire.
The plant community at Valley of Fire makes for a Beautiful Wedding Setting. Several cactus species, including beaver tail and cholla, are very common. This time of the Year is best to view the blooming of such plants as the desert marigold, indigo bush, and desert mallow. They add to an already spectacular Wedding Setting. The Beautiful Geological features give this area an unearthly look. In fact, the Valley of Fire has been used as the location for many Hollywood Films including one of the Star Trek series and several Prehistoric Sagas.
Historic stone cabins were built with native sandstone by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's as a shelter for passing travelers.
Outstanding examples of ancient Indian rock art or petroglyphs still exist.
Valley of Fire is Nevada's Oldest and Largest State Park, dedicated in 1935.
Valley of Fire draws its name from the Startling Red Hues of Sandstone created by the solidification of ancient dunes. Over time, the sandstone eroded, creating some truly Beautiful and Impressive formations that date back to Jurassic-age animals.

Video cameras are not all the same. Digital Video (DV) provides the Highest Quality Video Possible. One of the best digital units is the Panasonic DVX100B. This is what we use. 3-chip CCD cameras will have the best Digital quality. A 3CCD Camera System Reproduces color in great fidelity, with a separate CCD for reds, greens and blues. It's the same technology used in Panasonic professional broadcast equipment, resulting in 540 lines of breathtaking resolution.
No other camera in this category offers a real mechanical zoom control or such precise mechanical focusing.
The Panasonic DVX100B allows you to capture images closer to the finished product than ever before. Work that previously was limited to post-production can be simply and effectively accomplished in the field, in the camcorder.
The Panasonic DVX100B brings a host of performance and convenience features to this class of video camcorder- benefits that can't be found in this combination on other high-end video cameras. Never before has so much creative power been put in the hands of the film maker, video artist, and corporate and event videographer.
We use the Nikon D300, Nikon D2X & Nikon D200 (The world leader in Photography) professional digital SLR camera. Designed as a truly versatile workhorse camera for many professional disciplines, the D2X blends for the first time the high levels of resolution commercial clients demand with superb image quality, color consistency and class-leading speed. The D2X delivers high image quality using brand new innovations that produce ultra sharp images with very fine gradations and smooth color transitions across the color range – all while maintaining impeccable color accuracy, even when shooting under rapidly changing light. High resolution is achieved by an all-new 12.4 million pixel DX Format CMOS image sensor and a new image processing engine that works seamlessly with optimized systems throughout the camera. Even with this tremendous resolution, the D2X can comfortably shoot full resolution images at 5 frames per second (up to 21 consecutive JPEGS and 15 NEFs). When the situation demands yet faster frame rates, the D2X has a unique 6.8 megapixel ‘High Speed Cropped Image’ mode that boosts the shooting rate to 8 frames per second, up to 35 consecutive JPEGs or 26 NEF images, by cropping the number of pixels used on the sensor to create the image.
The D2X proves to be the only digital SLR camera truly equipped to meet the changing landscape of professional photography. Not only does it successfully combine high resolution, speed and quality, but it also introduces exclusive technologies that promise to expand the realm of digital photography. Options such as the newly introduced WT-2A Wi-Fi transmitter achieves full wireless remote camera control and transmission, while the revolutionary i-TTL Speedlight technology included in the D2X ensures radical new possibilities in creative lighting.
“Today’s working professional photographers have to be more versatile than ever, and with the introduction of the D2X Nikon now offers pro photographers the highest levels of quality, features and resolution to respond to their ever-changing needs,” said Jerry Grossman, vice president, marketing for Nikon inc. “While the 12.4 megapixel resolution of the D2X addresses a critical issue for photographers, other features such as improved color resolution, the high speed crop mode and affordability make the D2X the most versatile and powerful camera available for professionals.”
Unparalleled Image Quality
With an all new, high performance 12.4 megapixel DX Format CMOS sensor, the D2X delivers the high resolution and sharp detail needed for professional results. However, a high resolution sensor is only part of the equation in delivering the ultimate image quality. The D2X employs Nikon’s new generation system LSI that greatly improves the precision of processing during the analog/digital conversion. After digital conversion, a new processing method has been added to increase image-processing precision in the ASIC for smoother display of tones from highlight portions to shadow portions of the image. With optimized distribution of analog and digital white balance gain, the new engine produces smoother gradations with consistent and smooth transitions, all with exceptionally pure color rendition.
In addition to two new Adobe RGB color modes that further expand professional color space options with the new engine, the D2X also supports the sYCC color profile found in many of the latest printers. With sYCC support, photographers can produces JPEG files with a gamut wider than sRGB and fully exploit the output capabilities of their latest color printers.
An improved metering system in the D2X, called 3D-Color Matrix Metering II, allows Nikon’s acclaimed 1,005-pixel RGB Exposure/Color Matrix Metering Sensor to better determine the position and size of shadow or highlight areas and achieve optimum exposure for each shot.
Our sincere thanks for an absolutely easy and stress free wedding day at the Valley of Fire. We were looking for a simple, yet unique venue for our ceremony and you fulfilled our wishes. From our prompt limosine driver, to our patient pastor and our experienced photographer...everything went off without a hitch (well, except for us!). Thanks again. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to any couple ready to have their own special day!

Dear Shawn & team
We just wanted to say how pleased we were with the service that we have received from you all. Initially we were a bit worried about booking our wedding on the internet especially when we live in the UK, but it could not have been more perfect. The limos were lovely and were waiting for us early at our hotel. The minister was really friendly and our service was so nice. Our cameraman was also great fun and put us at ease, and my flowers were perfect. It all went so smoothly, and we have just received our photos and dvd - the photo books are brilliant. Every time we mailed you with our questions - and it was many times- you always replied straight away. We would not hesitate to recommend you to other couples. We loved our Valley of Fire Wedding and have some very special memories. Many thanks for all that you did.
Helen & Mark
I just returned from Las Vegas and wanted to share my experience. We were married at Valley of Fire by Las Vegas Weddings. The wedding went EXACTLY as planned, everything was beautiful. I did not feel at all rushed. Everything went so smooth. To Have our Wedding Video & Photos online to share with other was a huge Bonus. When I arrived back at work It was so easy to show my wedding Video & Photos to everyone. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating and definitely made me feel special...I never had the feeling that I was 'just another bride' or we were 'just another wedding'. "Las Vegas Weddings" was AWESOME. Your limousine driver made sure that everything ran smoothly. Valley of Fire was as pretty as the web site shows. The service was well beyond our expectations. We had a wonderful Wedding and could not have asked for a better one. I would HIGHLY recommend Las Vegas Weddings and to be Married at Valley of Fire!
Ed, the photographer, did an outstanding job. Good luck to you all in the future!

Las Vegas Weddings,
Lynn and I wanted to thank you and your incredible staff for making our special day truly wonderful! Because we booked online, we were very nervous of what we would have. Your prices are so reasonable and you must admit, it's hard to believe you actually get a 1st class operation.
Our trip started with a wonderful limousine ride out to the Valley of Fire. We enjoyed a bottle of our own champagne with 5 of our friends. We secured a second limo for the family members who were really living it up! After we arrived at the Valley of Fire the scene was out of this world! How beautiful... Words cannot really express it properly.
Your videographer was so pleasant and understanding. He made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The ceremony was spectacular to say the least! You know how beautiful the place is when you finally are ready to leave and all of your guests are taking turns getting their pictures taken at Valley of Fire. WOW!!!
On the way back we cranked up the tunes and had one of the most fun rides of our lives. Our guests were singing along with us and we all have memories that will be cherished forever.
Thanks so much for being accommodating and helping us to have a wonderful stress free wedding day!
Enjoy,
Phil Pistolarides

We just received our Wedding Photo Book & DVD from our October 15th Wedding at Valley of Fire and just wanted to say thank you for a fabulous job! The pictures were wonderful and the colors were just spectacular. I have to say that ordering our wedding on-line, at a place we'd never even seen before made us a bit nervous, but everything worked out wonderfully. Thank you so much for making our day perfect and we now have the most beautiful Photo Book to show for it as well.
