ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

AN INTIMATE CELEBRATION OF YOUR LOVE IN A DAY-IN-THE LIFE STYLE

Not everyone wants the attention and the fluff surrounding large wedding celebrations, and that’s totally ok! One of my favorite things to do with my elopement couples is to capture it as a regular “day in their life”, so that they’ll have the memories of this special day, in a more casual way, that draws less attention to the performance of a wedding, and more to the intimate bond between you both.

With experience in NYC elopements, park elopements, mountain elopements, city elopements, and international elopements, I will be with you every step of the way as a friend and guiding hand to explore the city of your choice, and capture it in a way that feels natural to you, not posed or staged.

Adding that extra element of sound and movement can bring your memories to life that much more. As part of my custom elopement package offerings, we can incorporate multi-media and film as part of your coverage.

NYC ELOPEMENT LOCATIONS

As a NYC elopement photographer, I can definitely show you around town if you’re not familiar! Whether you live in the city and have your own favorite spots already picked out, or are just coming in for a visit, we can collaborate to decide what the best NYC experience might be for you on your special elopement day. Scroll through to check out some of my favorite NYC elopement locations.

  • Intimate Wedding Nyc Bethesda Terrace Elopement
    BETHESDA FOUNTAIN
    Beautiful architecture, fountain, and lighting, not to mention a covered spot in case of rain.
  • Bride Groom Outside Brooklyn City Hall Elopement Ceremony
    BROOKLYN CITY HALL
    This less popular city hall option is one that is equally as beautiful on the inside and outside as Manhattan City Hall, with lots of outdoor locations around the area.
  • Couple Crossing Street Downtown Nyc Elopement
    LOWER EAST SIDE MANHATTAN
    Love the grungier vibes of downtown and the lower east side, with the iconic Katz deli, and other cool bar vibes
  • Bridal Party Dumbo Elopement Sign
    DUMBO BROOKLYN
    Easily accessible from both Manhattan and Brooklyn, Dumbo is a top spot for elopements with its beautiful view of the city along the water, Time Out Market, and cobblestone streets
  • Bride Groom Surrounded By Crowds At Grand Central Station Elopement
    GRAND CENTRAL STATION
    While it can be quite filled with people, this is a stop that is iconic of NYC and I love to incorporate the crowds as an element of the photo
  • Intimate Fall Wedding Ceremony Nyc Central Park Ladies Pavillion Elopement
    LADIES PAVILLION / CENTRAL PARK
    Tucked away on the lake and private, this is an elopement spot that is perfect to hold an intimate elopement ceremony (especially in the fall!)
  • Couple Embraced Romantic Winter Ny Public Library Elopement
    NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
    While many of the iconic indoor locations such as the NY Public library and the MET require costly permits to photograph inside of, nothing stops us from including a stop in the beautiful outdoor facade of these buildings!
  • Couple Kissing Outside Nyc City Hall Elopement
    MANHATTAN CITY HALL
    Located just outside of the Brooklyn Bridge and a major subway hub, as well as City Hall Park, Manhattan’s city hall has a lot to explore after your intimate ceremony.
  • Dark Moody Image Washington Square Park Elopement Children Playing
    WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK
    A more relaxed and casual vibe of the city. Washington Square park is always filled with people and activities that is fun to incorporate into your photos
  • Asian Bride Groom Brooklyn Bridge Elopement
    BROOKLYN BRIDGE
    A great spot to hit up after your Manhattan City hall wedding, especially if you are coming from afar and want that iconic NYC background. Pro Tip: go super early (before 8am) to avoid crowds
  • Couple Posed Gate Nyc Conservatory Gardens Elopement
    CONSERVATORY GARDENS / CENTRAL PARK
    A beautiful more private area of the northern end of Central Park, the gardens are luxurious and well groomed, and a gorgeous area to host an elopement ceremony for you and your guests.

INVESTMENT

The great thing about elopements is that we can customize them to how much time you’d like captured during your day, all the way from the morning to the evening, for a full “day in the life” experience. Typical elopement investments range from $1500-3000.

QUESTIONS?

My approach is simple and documentary in style. We can collaborate on a few different places and how to use your time wisely, and I will follow your journey, capturing the moments along the way! No corny posing, just fluid moments between the two of you.

Pricing is hourly, with a minimum of 2 hours at $1500. Generally I spend between 2 and 4 hours with my couples to properly cover an elopement.

Yes of course! If it’s a city I’m familiar with, I usually have a few suggestions, but I am not afraid to explore new cities, and make the photography about the journey of exploring. We’ll talk in advance and get to know your goals for our time together so that we can customize it to your goals and personalities.

Yes! If you are having an elopement ceremony, whether in city hall, or elsewhere, I will be with you to cover that experience as well.

I love including friends and family in elopement sessions because it shows the true love that surrounds you. We can brainstorm a few ways to incorporate them into your portraits around the area, or if you have a special dinner or event planned afterwards, I’m happy to join you too.

Your photos will all be professionally edited by me and include my signature color correction. I typically do not do extensive retouching on photos to keep them as natural and true-to-life as possible.
