A Backdrop Like No Other
Photography at Nelson Ghost Town
Nelson Ghost Town is one of the most photographed spots in southern Nevada — weathered timber storefronts, a vintage Chevron sign, rusted mining equipment, old trucks, and the red canyon walls of Eldorado Canyon rising behind it all. In the last hour before sunset the whole town glows.
Every wedding at Nelson Ghost Town includes professional photography — your ceremony, group photos, and portraits through the historic buildings after your vows. Those images are part of the ceremony packages, from $850.
If you're not getting married and simply want portraits in the ghost town — an anniversary, a graduation, a family visit, an engagement, or a proposal — the Ghost Town Session is a $599 flat rate with no ceremony or officiant involved. Either way, you leave with a full gallery of edited, high-resolution photos.
