NYC City Hall Wedding & Elopement Photographer
Modern, candid, and editorial wedding photography for intimate love stories in New York City.
Just the two of you. And New York City.
No seating charts.
No three-tier cake. No 200 people watching you try not to cry. Just you, your person, and the city as your backdrop.
You just live your memories. I'll turn those moments into frames you'll never forget.
What Is a NYC Elopemet?
Elopement used to mean sneaking away to get married. Now it just means doing it your way — small, intentional, no fuss.
It can be just the two of you at City Hall on a Tuesday morning. It can be a vow exchange at sunrise in Central Park with a few close friends. It can be a rooftop ceremony with champagne and pizza after.
There's no template. You make the rules.
What I can tell you is this: almost every couple I photograph says it was the best decision they ever made. The day feels like theirs. Because it is.
My Favorite NYC Elopement & City Hall Wedding Locations
Manhattan Marriage Bureau
141 Worth Street, Lower Manhattan. Couples from every corner of the world, strangers cheering for people they've never met. One of the most quietly moving places in the city.
Central Park
Bow Bridge, Bethesda Fountain, the Ramble — but also the quiet corners most tourists never find. Beautiful in every season.
Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO
The bridge walkway, the cobblestones, the frame of the Manhattan Bridge between the buildings. One of the most iconic — and most beautiful — spots in New York.
Washington Square Park
The arch, the fountain, the energy of the whole neighborhood. Always alive, always beautiful.
The High Line
More architectural, more editorial. Hudson River views and a little quiet above the streets of Chelsea.
What Couples Say?
