🎲 Viva Las Vegas: A Bold, Playful Styled Shoot at Samantha Joy Studio

Stylized Vegas bride and groom

When it comes to making a statement, this Vegas-themed styled shoot at Samantha Joy Studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan, pulled out all the stops—and then some. Think bold color, high fashion, and the perfect mix of vintage glam and modern edge. It was editorial meets elopement meets full-on fabulous.

The Look: Modern Elvis Meets High Fashion

Our “bride” stunned in a crisp white jumpsuit—a refreshing and fashion-forward take on bridalwear. Paired with a mid-length crystal-studded veil by Something Blue Weddings and dramatic sheer red fringe gloves, the look screamed VEGAS. The makeup, flawlessly executed by Caleigh Leigh, featured striking red shadow and a matching bold lip that turned every frame into a showstopper.

Not to be outdone, the groom rocked a velvet pink tux with a black silk collar and pocket trim—a perfect nod to vintage Vegas with a modern twist. Together, this couple didn’t just pose, they performed.

The Vibe: Playful, Bold, and Full of Heart

Set against a backdrop of giant playing cards and showered in pink and red floral arrangements (courtesy of Eastern Floral Weddings), the space transformed into a dreamy, over-the-top chapel of love. Balloons and confetti brought the energy up even higher—because what’s Vegas without a little chaos and sparkle?

The Glam Squad: All-Star Artists

The glam team brought their A-game from start to finish. Hair magic came courtesy of Pretty Committee Beauty and Bobby Pin Babes, who created a look that was polished but still playful—ideal for this kind of editorial fun.

Why I Loved It

This shoot wasn’t just about the visuals (although, wow). It was about embracing personality, pushing creative boundaries, and showing couples that their wedding style can be anything but traditional. Whether you're getting married in a chapel or on a rooftop, there’s room to make it yours—bold gloves, red makeup, playing cards and all.
