Hello
So you made it here. That means you're not just looking for someone to show up with a camera. You want to know who's going to be with you on one of the most important days of your life. That matters to me too.
I didn't grow up dreaming of this. I was the nerdy kid who loved video games and solving problems with computers. In 2011, something shifted. I started helping my then-wife with her photography gear, and before I knew it I was attending weddings, holding cameras, and falling completely in love with the magic of storytelling. The big turning point came during a workshop in Rio. I was there just to take notes. I walked out with a fire in my chest and a camera in my hands. That was it.
I'm Tiago Pinheiro, a Las Vegas wedding and elopement photographer originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Since 2013, I've been photographing weddings and intimate elopements for couples from all over the world, many of them choosing Las Vegas for exactly what it is: a city that lets you do things your way.
How I work
My approach is documentary at its core. I'm not going to stop you mid-laugh to adjust your chin. I'm not going to line everyone up and bark directions. What I will do is show up early, get to know you, and then disappear into the background, until a real moment happens. The tearful hug before you walk down the aisle. The burst of laughter during the vows. The wild chaos of the dance floor at midnight. Those are the photos that will actually mean something to you in twenty years.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year, because every couple deserves real attention, not a photographer running on fumes between back-to-back bookings.
What you'll actually get
After your wedding, you'll receive a beautiful online gallery with all your images at full resolution, ready to download, share, print, and keep forever. A sneak peek arrives within 72 hours, because I know the wait is real. If you love printed photos the way I do, we can put together a wedding album together, whether that's right away or whenever you're ready.
A little more about me
When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll find me exploring new cultures, chasing good coffee, geeking out over movies, or spending time with my wife Robyn and our blended family of three awesome boys. I've also been a competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner since 1997. The mats keep me grounded. So does the coffee.
I believe life is not about photography, but photography is about life.
If you're planning a wedding or elopement in Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, or anywhere else you'd love to take me, let's talk.
