What NYC elopement packages do you provide?

Whether you call it an “elopement” or a “microwedding,” my NYC elopement packages will work for any small wedding with 50 or fewer guests.

NYC elopement packages start at $3,950. All include NYC elopement photography for multiple hours and locations, registered NYC officiant perform a personalized ceremony, and basic wedding planning assistance, including location recommendations, day-of schedule creation, and permit information. All packages also include a pre-wedding Zoom consultation where we’d discuss logistics and swap ideas to bring your vision to life. After the event, you’ll receive a curated online gallery with your edited hi-resolution images, perfect for sharing with loved ones.

We’re overwhelmed with research and don’t have time/want to deal with a bunch of vendors. Can we hire you to get us a bouquet and a hair & makeup artist?

Absolutely, I’m all about making this as seamless and stress-free as possible. Add-ons such as hair & makeup, flowers, videography, vintage NYC taxi cab rental, and custom-designed wedding albums and fine art prints are available a la carte, and I will act as point-person for these vendors.

Can we legally elope in NYC if we don’t live in New York?

Yes! Any couple — including visiting internationals and out-of-state visitors — is able to elope in NYC.

We want to have a NYC City Hall wedding. Do you do that?

How do we get a New York City marriage license?

To elope in NYC, you’ll need to obtain an NYC marriage license, which requires two parts:

1. Fill out a marriage license application online.
2. Schedule your marriage license appointment, either for a virtual visit or an in-person visit to any Marriage Bureau in New York. (Note that for both virtual and in-person appointments, both parties must be physically together and in New York at the time of the appointment.) When picking your appointment date/time, remember that a Marriage License is valid for 60 days, and your license must be obtained at least 24 hours in advance of your ceremony. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you should confirm that NYC wedding licenses are valid in your country — a quick call to your consulate should clear this up.

The Manhattan Marriage Bureau Office is located at 141 Worth St. Other boroughs have different locations.

We have a specific New York City elopement idea in mind  — can you make it happen?

A stylish Brooklyn rooftop micro wedding? A winter Central Park wedding with snow falling softly around you? A casual, intimate elopement on the Top of the Rock with unobstructed city views? Perfect, let’s chat; whatever your NYC elopement idea is, my elopement packages will probably work. Let’s set up a time to Zoom and discuss.

On second thought, there’s so many options. Can you recommend some elopement locations?

Absolutely, I have tons of New York City elopement venue ideas. Whether you’re looking for a leafy nook with privacy, a location with banging city views, or anything in between, I can definitely make venue recommendations based on your aesthetic. Here’s a few of my favorite NYC elopement locations, all under $100.

How many people can we bring?

Typically 50 or fewer people is the right size for these packages, but reach out for a custom quote!

It’s just the two of us. Can you act as our witness?

Absolutely, I’m happy to do so, and have acted as both elopement photographer and witness for many, many couples.

Do you work with registered NYC elopement officiants?

Yes, all the wedding officiants I work with are ordained and registered in New York City. You will have an opportunity to chat with your officiant so they can craft a completely personalized ceremony, and will file all necessary paperwork so your marriage is legal.

Actually, we already have the officiant. Can you still photograph our wedding?

Of course, not a problem. Pricing is reduced for photography-only elopements.

What’s your photography style?

I am a documentary-style NYC elopement photographer, meaning I strive to capture the day naturally as it unfolds. Yes, there will be some more traditional posed portraits, but for the most part it’s more candid and organic; minimal “cheese for the camera”-type shots. Aesthetically, I edit for classic, true-to-life coloring.

Will you photograph our same-sex elopement?

Yes! New York has been legally wedding same-sex couples since 2011 when the Marriage Equality Act was passed. See here for more information on having a same-sex civil ceremony in New York City. I am more than happy to photograph any kind of couple getting married.
