Planning a Las Vegas wedding and hoping to bring your own photographer to capture every candid kiss and celebratory twirl? You're not alone—and you’re smart to check ahead! Many Las Vegas wedding chapels charge steep outside photography fees, sometimes $100 or more just to let your chosen professional take photos. But good news: as of June 2025, there are a few standout chapels that welcome outside photographers without the extra fee.
Here’s a list of Las Vegas wedding chapels that allow outside photographers for free—no hidden costs, no hassle:
✅ 1. The Little White Wedding Chapel

This iconic spot has hosted thousands of weddings (including a few celebrity ceremonies), and it still keeps things accessible. You’re welcome to bring in your own professional photographer—no extra fee required. Their pink Cadillac, Tunnel of Love, and vintage Vegas charm make it a favorite for couples seeking a timeless, fun vibe.
✅ 2. Sure Thing Chapel

This downtown gem is known for its retro aesthetic, colorful florals, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive atmosphere. Sure Thing is proud to be one of the most photographer-friendly chapels in Vegas. You can bring your own photographer (like yours truly!) for no additional cost.
✅ 3. Sure Thing Too

The sister location to Sure Thing, this cozy offshoot maintains the same welcoming policy: outside photographers are absolutely allowed for free. It's ideal for smaller weddings or vow renewals with a chic, intimate vibe.
✅ 4. That Chapel Downtown

A newer addition to the Vegas chapel scene, this stylish, modern venue is designed for couples who want a non-cookie-cutter experience. And yes—they allow outside photographers at no extra cost. The industrial-meets-artsy aesthetic is perfect for couples looking for unique wedding portraits.
Why Bringing Your Own Photographer Matters
Vegas chapels often offer in-house photo packages, but they may come with limitations: time constraints, limited editing, or steep prices for digital downloads. When you hire your own photographer, you get full control over the style, editing, and delivery—and you get someone focused only on you.
As a local photographer with experience shooting at all of these chapels (and knowing the quirks of each one), I can help you make the most of every little moment—from getting ready to your “just married” celebration downtown.
