Weddings at Bellagio Wedding Photographer
Bellagio pairs stained-glass chapels with fountain-front terraces overlooking Lake Como, offering some of the most romantic ceremony backdrops on the Las Vegas Strip.
About Weddings at Bellagio
Weddings at Bellagio span two elegant indoor chapels and two coveted outdoor settings on the resort's Lake Como frontage. The East Chapel suits the most intimate ceremonies (up to 20), the South Chapel handles up to 80, while the open-air Terrazza di Sogno terrace (up to 40) and the Fountain Courtyard (up to 80–100) place couples directly in view of the world-famous Bellagio fountains.
Couples choose Bellagio for its unmatched setting: choreographed fountain shows that can be woven into the ceremony, the botanical Conservatory, and Italianate architecture inspired by the lakeside village of Bellagio, Italy. Every package is fully coordinated — coordinator, officiant, floral, photography and transportation to the marriage-license bureau — making it a turnkey luxury choice on the center Strip.

Photographing Bellagio
The Terrazza di Sogno and Fountain Courtyard shine in late-afternoon and golden-hour light, when the lake and fountains catch warm tones; couples can time a fountain show into the ceremony for a dramatic backdrop. Indoor chapels offer soft, colored light through stained glass for a classic, controlled look.
Beyond the ceremony sites, the seasonal Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and the resort's Italianate promenades provide lush, colorful photo settings. Note that outside photographers are only allowed at the Fountain Courtyard (with a fee) — elsewhere the exclusive Cashman Photography team shoots the day.

Bellagio is a marquee proposal destination, staging private moments on the fountain terrace and inside the Conservatory before couples return to marry.
Terrazza di Sogno proposal · $3,750
Conservatory proposal · $3,000
Fountain Courtyard proposal (up to 8) · $5,000
Includes · Roses, neon sign, fountain song, 1 hr photography, champagne
