Cili Bali Hai Timeless and Elegant Wedding Shoot

As wedding photographers based in Las Vegas since 2001, we've shot at many beautiful venues around the valley. We have our favorites and Cili Bali Hai is at the top of our list. Located on the Las Vegas Strip and yet hidden in plain sight, lies this charming oasis in the desert. With a romantic island-like feel, it offers beautiful views that capture the passion and romance of your love story. Diman and her wonderful staff are committed to creating a memorable, stress-free wedding in a classically beautiful setting. This team of wedding professionals will no doubt exceed your expectations

For this reason, we created a timeless and romantic wedding portrait session to show off their venue and the experience that they offer to every couple. Whether your wedding will be small and intimate or a larger celebration with all of your loved ones, Cili can accommodate your needs.

This session was an artistic collaboration with Diman, the lead event coordinator of Cili Bali Hai Las Vegas, and Brandalyn of McNeill and Co Event Planning (formerly Oh My Posh Weddings and Events). McNeil and Co Event Planning + Design is a wedding planning & design company focusing on creating upscale events in Las Vegas, NV. If you are looking for a unique and luxurious experience, Brandalyn will be by your side to bring your vision to life! For this timeless and romantic shoot, she brought vendors of the highest caliber to contribute their talent and creativity.

The Couple

A shoot of this nature is usually referred to as a styled shoot. However, Jacob and Tristan are a real couple and their strong bond and affection are at the forefront of these images. Jacob is a dolphin trainer at the Mirage and Tristan models and bartends here in Las Vegas. Keep scrolling to be inspired by their love and undeniable chemistry.

A wedding day is not complete without all of the little details as well as the bigger ones!

We were so delighted that Jen and Molly of Flourish Las Vegas contributed their design talent and lush, gorgeous florals! We are in love with the beautiful blush and white tones. They dressed up the simple but elegant arch as well as a gorgeous bouquet with protea flowers and white roses. The large gold leaf was the perfect juxtaposition to the soft palette. The soft florals also bring a beautiful ambience to the romantic tablescape.

Have you ever seen such a magnificent cake display swinging from an arch? Dec N Deets Wedding & Events is a Las Vegas-based company that specializes in event planning, styling, and coordinating. They created this beautiful cake display to take this collaborative shoot to another level! Contact Ashley and Dana to help you create your dream.

The display wasn't complete without a custom-designed wedding cake from Rolling in Dough Bakery. Also, instead of a plain escort card, they designed these precious heart-shaped treats. You can preview them toward the end of the album. They are a family-owned bakery here in Las Vegas that specializes in designing cakes and treats for every occasion.

What better way to refresh yourself after a warm summer wedding than a mango margarita sorbet from Tipsy Scoop ice cream shop? They provide artisanal, hand-crafted ice cream mixed with a little something extra!

Tristan's wedding gown was provided by Silhouette Bridal. An elegant bridal shop located in Henderson, Nevada. They offer a stunning selection of dresses with modern styles for any bride.
