Maria & Jalen were just like many other frustrated couples who tired to tie the knot during the Covid Pandemic. After two failed attempts, they decided to make one final attempt in the Wedding Capital of the World- Las Vegas. Being from New York & Chicago, the hustle and bustle on The Strip was not anything new to them. This laid back couple had an intimate and quiet ceremony in mind with just the two of them. To escape the crowds for their big day, they chose this off The Strip Las Vegas Wedding location at Valley of Fire. This long awaited moment was so much fun & so special to be a part of with them. It was full of heartfelt tears, laughter, & adventure!
