Hello,
This is my first post! I will try and make this short and to the point.
I have been engaged for 2 months, and so far plans have changed so quickly, it's hard to make a decision. First, we were set on getting married in Vegas, I was in love with getting our pictures taken at Red Rock Canyon and having a little adventure to start our lives together. The location is just beautiful and so is the Flamingo gardens with the waterfall.... This is what I picture my dream wedding to be. But some family members don't like the idea of shelling out $$$ to come to our wedding just cause we want to have it in Las Vegas. We estimated only maybe 20 will go. Almost half being immediate family, and half that immediate family not being as financially set up for vacations. So I am considering having it at home, in the prairies.... that brings me to my question....
I am considering doing a mini-moon and taking pictures somewhere similar in the area, with some cacti and palm trees just like how I originally wanted. We aren't doing an engagement shoot and I thought this would be more special instead. A just-married photoshoot. Has anyone ever done something like this? A Honeymoon photoshoot? Am I crazy for doing this?
Now I'm thinking of planning a "tropical" themed wedding in the middle of the prairies. Now I feel crazy.
