A rare album of Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s private wedding photos from their 1967 Las Vegas ceremony will be auctioned in Denmark on September 21 with an estimated starting price near $15,000.
A unique piece of Las Vegas and music history is going up for auction: the original wedding album of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, containing private photographs from their 1967 ceremony at the Aladdin Hotel. The album holds 30 original black-and-white photos from their May 1, 1967 wedding, along with three color snapshots taken at Graceland the following summer with their daughter, Lisa Marie. Bidding will start at nearly $15,000 (DKK 100,000) when the album is offered by Bruun Rasmussen auction house in Denmark on September 21. Recent reports put the starting price at about USD 14,600, EUR 13,400, or 148,000 SEK, according to BroadwayWorld.
Unlike the many public images from Elvis’s Las Vegas years, this album was never meant for wide release. Only about ten copies were made, each given as a personal gift to close friends or family. The album now up for auction was originally given to Priscilla’s parents, Joseph and Ann Beaulieu, and has stayed in the Beaulieu family ever since. According to the auction house, this is the first time the album has been offered for public sale, and bidding is already open on the Bruun Rasmussen website.
Inside the album
The album documents the Presleys’ May 1, 1967 wedding at the Aladdin Hotel, which once stood on the Las Vegas Strip. The ceremony was a private event, held in a suite with just 14 close friends and family. Afterward, the couple met the press and hosted a reception for 100 guests, but the photos in this album capture quieter moments that never appeared in the tabloids. Independent sources confirm the wedding date as May 1, 1967, with the Graceland photos taken the following summer.
Alongside the wedding images, the album includes three color photos from the next summer, showing Elvis and Priscilla with their newborn daughter, Lisa Marie, at Graceland in Memphis. One photo is marked with a handwritten note: “Elvis going fast to scare mother.” These family images are believed to be unique, produced in very limited numbers for private sharing, as noted in Swedish auction coverage.
Las Vegas history and auction details
The album’s cover is inscribed in gold: “Priscilla and Elvis Presley 5-1-67 – Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Beaulieu – From the Colonel,” a nod to Elvis’s longtime manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who handled much of the wedding’s planning. The Aladdin Hotel, where the wedding took place, was a well-known spot on the Strip before it was demolished and replaced by Planet Hollywood Las Vegas.
Bruun Rasmussen, the Danish auction house managing the sale, describes the album as a rare record of one of the 20th century’s most famous couples. The starting price reflects both its rarity and its direct connection to the Presley family. The auction is set for September 21, 2026, and the album will be sold as a single lot, as confirmed by current publications and the auction house’s website.
From private keepsake to public auction
Elvis and Priscilla’s relationship began when she was 14 and he was 24, leading to their Las Vegas wedding when Priscilla turned 21. Their marriage lasted six years and they had one child, Lisa Marie Presley. The album’s move from a family keepsake to a public auction item reflects the ongoing interest in the Presley story and in Las Vegas as a backdrop for celebrity events.
The sale is a reminder of the Strip’s long history as a setting for high-profile weddings, and it shows the continued demand for rare memorabilia linked to Las Vegas’s entertainment past. The city’s venues and artifacts still attract collectors and fans, much as the Las Vegas Market draws attention for both new and historic items, as reported earlier.
With only ten original albums ever made and this copy never before available to the public, the auction is expected to draw interest from Presley collectors and Las Vegas history fans alike. The sale preserves a piece of Strip history and highlights the value of privately held memorabilia in a city known for spectacle and reinvention.
