NYC ELOPEMENT & MICROWEDDING packages with photography + PLANNING + officianT services

NYC elopement packages that include everything you need to get married, whether you’re envisioning an intimate day for two or a microwedding with 50.

All NYC elopement packages include:

PLANNING

I aim to do a little more heavy-lifting with the planning so you can fully relax and enjoy the day-of. During our initial Zoom one-on-one, we’ll collaborate on vibe, aesthetic, logistics and everything in between. Once we’ve got the plan mapped out, I’ll put together an itinerary for you to sign off on before we make it official.

PHOTOGRAPHY

We’ll tell the story of your day, start to finish. I’ll guide you through recommended locations, timelines and considerations depending on your vision.

OFFICIANT AND LEGAL

You’ll have the opportunity to connect with your NYC officiant beforehand to create a personalized ceremony that feels right. They will also send all necessary paperwork back to the Marriage Bureau on your behalf so your marriage is legal.

OPTIONS FOR ADD-ONS

For a truly stress-free experience, you can add on additional services like hair & makeup, flowers, videography, a Zoom livestream, wedding albums and more. I will act as point-person so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors.

Starting at $2,850

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

NYC Elopement FAQ

I am a documentary-style NYC elopement photographer, meaning I strive to capture the day naturally as it unfolds. Yes, there will be some 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.

Getting married in NYC can be both exciting and overwhelming, so here’s a step-by-step how-to guide to eloping in NYC.

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

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

Fill out a marriage license application online
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 U.S. marriage certificates are valid in your country — a quick call to your consulate should clear this up.

When its time for your appointment, you’ll need to bring the following:

• A valid form of ID. If previously married, bring all supporting documentation.
• The Marriage License fee of $35 payable to the City Clerk by credit card or money order.
• Printed or electronic copy of this confirmation or your appointment email
• Printed or electronic copy of online application confirmation number

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