Fairytale Prom Portraits in Reno

April 22, 2025 in Prom Portraits

For Kalie & her friends, this spring was the best time to celebrate friendship and unforgettable memories with fairytale prom portraits! I had the absolute joy of photographing five stunning Galena High School students at the historic Old Reno Courthouse in Downtown Reno for their prom portraits. Their session was nothing short of magical.

Downtown Reno Prom Portraits with a Fairytale Vibe

For these beautiful Galena students, Kalie, El, Madison, Courtney & Ellie — prom was not just about the dance! It was about capturing this once-in-a-lifetime moment surrounded by their best friends. The Old Reno Courthouse made the perfect backdrop with its grand stone steps and timeless architecture, adding a classic, regal feel to every shot.

Each of these amazing young women brought their own unique style and personality to the session. From bold jewel tones to soft pastels, their dresses were absolutely show-stopping. The colorful mix of gowns truly felt like something out of a fairytale.

Why the Old Reno Courthouse is a Gorgeous Spot for Prom Photos

If you’re looking for a prom portrait location in Reno that feels elegant, historic, and dramatic, the Old Courthouse downtown is a fantastic option. The neutral tones of the stonework help vibrant colors pop beautifully, while the towering columns and steps create a sense of grandeur. It’s a perfect place to make your prom portraits feel extra special.

Capturing the Joy of Prom Night

What I loved most about this session was how these five friends celebrated each other. Between the fierce poses and the candid giggles, we captured so many moments of true connection and fun. And of course, we made sure to highlight the details like their corsages (which were lovingly crafted by Courtney’s mom).

These portraits are more than just pretty pictures — they’re memories frozen in time from one of the most exciting nights of the year.
