The Experience

Before You Go

Book golden hour for the best color

Schedule your ceremony around sunrise or sunset to capture the Valley of Fire’s saturated reds and softer shadows for photos.

Bring a hard-surface shoe option

Choose shoes with good traction—dress shoes can slip on slick rock; consider a pair of neat trail shoes for portraits between locations.

Carry ID and secure your marriage license beforehand

Nevada requires a marriage license for legal weddings; pick it up from Clark County before your ceremony to avoid delays.

Plan for wind and shade

The desert can be surprisingly gusty and cool after sunset—bring a light wrap and secure loose items like veils and petals.
