Nevada Ghost Town Wedding | Roxanne & Pete

27/02/2023
Nevada Ghost Town, USA
So for something a little different,  Peter & Roxanne chose Nelson Ghost Town, Nevada, USA as their backdrop to their wedding. Nevada's best Ghost Town weddings are at Nelson's Ghost Town, located near Nelson, Nevada. In 1775, it was named "Eldorado" by the Spaniards, who made the original discoveries of gold in this now Eldorado Canyon area. A hundred years later, the prospectors and miners of the day took over and established the notorious Techatticup Mine. Locals commonly refer to the area as Nelson's Ghost Town.
So whilst out in Las Vegas, photographing Bryan & Amber’s wedding. I stumbled upon Nelson Ghost Town.

Nelson Ghost Town is an abandoned gold mine. It’s been lovingly restored by its long-standing owners. The owners, are, in the most polite sense, hoarders. For 30 years, they have collected a wonderful eclectic collection of old cars, mining towers and equipment and two former military planes. Over the years, Nelson ghost town has provided the backdrop to dozens of television shows, commercials, and blockbuster movies including Kevin Costner’s 3000 miles to Graceland.

What’s more, it’s has a chapel, which makes it the perfect location to get married, right in Southern Nevada!

It is with this backdrop that also creates a perfect environment for a wedding. I met with Roxanne and Pete, who had decided to go alone and get married, without the pressure’s of family.

Thank you so much Roxanne & Pete to allow me to be a part of your special day.
