Married By Elvis Impersonator, a photo from Nevada, West

Photographer's Note

More than 115,000 weddings are performed in Las Vegas every year! That’s about 315 every day! People from all over the world come to Las Vegas to get married. Weddings if the second largest industry in Nevada. The wedding license cost $60, no blood test required or waiting period. Recently a couple of guys created a “Wedding Van.” They will come to you or marry you anywhere you want using the van as a wedding chapel.

All the best and have a great WE,

Hello Eleu
a mobile wedding chapel? That can only happen in America!
Honestly getting married by Elvis, with Spock as a witness, how creepy is that.
Great capture with lots of humor in it.
a good start to the new week

Hi Eleu
Creative ideas and the mobile makeshift chapel! Thanks to your infor notes and interesting facet of the famous place. Well observed, this is an excellent idea finding the interest everyday lives, an opportunist image. I think it works well and adds humour to photography as well. Brilliant lighting and colors, good crop and spot on detail beautifully composed and great contrast. Well done
Warm regards

Hi Eleu
I like the photo and the subject for one simple reason.
Its displays the type of Signs that are ALL over Las Vegas.
A photographer could have a field day with only focusing in on the signs!
and when they are in neon, its even better.

PS
have you ever been to the graveyard of neon signs in Las Vegas?? I havn't...YET!
and next time i visit - maybe in Nov, i'll check out that new Gehry building too.

cheers
