Long-Distance Love | Las Vegas Whirlwind Elopement
Long distance relationships are not for the faint of heart, but I found a couple who got it right: Dana and Jadon! Dana and Jadon met seven years ago in Canada, fresh out of high school, and have been in long-distance love since the beginning. Jadon proposed in July of 2019 on a beautiful mountain hike, which of course Dana was thrilled (and very surprised) about!
They applied for a visa immediately so they could finally grow their relationship in the same place! Of course, COVID hit right after and things got a little wonky, but nothing could stop their love! These two have been waiting three whole very long years for Jadon’s visa to be approved. Now they have approval, but only 90 days to plan and execute a wedding? (What the $!&*#?!) What better reason to run away to Vegas for an elopement and a party all in one?!
My favorite little detail about this couple is that Jadon is marrying into an ENORMOUS family as an only child with no cousins. But thanks to Dana, he now has fifty-seven cousins on her mom’s side alone! Fifty-freaking-seven! Dana said that Jadon was a “deer in headlights” when he met them all for the first time. You and me both, buddy!
I loved Dana’s wedding dress — the perfect mix of elegance and fun for her Las Vegas elopement! But I have to say, their guests really dressed to impress! From sequins to feathers to velvet, they really showed up and showed out for Dana and Jadon.
Running around Vegas with all of them to celebrate this couple was so special. Despite all the challenges they’ve faced in their relationship, they were only full of love and joy that they now get to spend the rest of their lives together — literally and figuratively! No more long distance! Woohoo! Dana and Jadon, I wish you both the best! Thank you for choosing me to capture your wedding day!
