A year in Las Vegas: An elopement photographers best photos of 2020

Another year down; many, many lessons learned. I know 2020 is a year often associated with a butt load of negativity. And I think that negativity is totally valid, but I also want to acknowledge the good stuff. I feel fortunate to still have had a lot of happy moments during 2020 and I hope this post can inspire you to put your feelers out there again and find at least a few things that make you smile from the past 365 days.

A Year in Review

This is my first “Best Of” blog post. I was so lucky to have been able to meet SO MANY amazing couples. Even during a pandemic, people still wanted to showcase their love and I am All. About. It.

I learned a lot about the flexibility that Las Vegas offers couples. Often, couples choose Vegas on a whim or after plans A, B, and C didn’t work out. Las Vegas is its own unique little love bubble.

Writing a year in review is less about remembering every single day and more about focusing on the larger moments that shaped you. Every session I do is a BIG DEAL for me. I put so much time and energy into learning about my couples so I can serve you better. I want to craft an experience that feels tailored to you and helps you express your love in every way you’ve got.

Black Salt Photography is an elopement photographer and intimate wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. Photographing in the surrounding PNW areas and traveling often for destination love stories. Specializing in intimate candids and editorial portraits to craft a one-of-a-kind wedding day for every couple. Her moody photography style plays with natural light and shadow, laced with raw emotional moments, to create an authentic narrative experience. She photographs you as you so you’ll love your photos authentically.

    “Oh my gosh, where to start. First off, Destiny has the sweetest soul. She is so amazing with what she does, and how she interacts with her clients. She’s treated me and my fiancé like a friend from the beginning, and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    We usually feel and get pretty awkward, but Destiny somehow turned us and our love story into art! She did so much work for us, in finding the perfect location, and helping me with my outfit decisions – the whole process from the beginning was so smooth.”

    “We felt comfortable right away as Destiny encouraged us to “get weird” and I really enjoyed the way she guided us through moments together instead of putting us in cookie cutter poses. The results were completely stunning and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the images!
