Your NYC city hall & elopement photographer

A New York City Hall wedding is small by design — and that’s exactly why the photography matters more, not less. With no large bridal party or reception to fall back on, every frame counts: the look between you in the Marriage Bureau hallway, the official’s words, the first kiss, the confetti on the steps. We’ve photographed enough courthouse and city hall ceremonies to know where the light falls, what the rooms allow, and how to move quickly from the ceremony to the best portrait spots within a few minutes’ walk.

Whether you’re calling it a courthouse wedding, a city hall ceremony, or a full NYC elopement, the coverage is the same idea: a discreet, professional photographer (and optionally a videographer) who captures the day cinematically without turning it into a production. Many of our couples travel into New York to elope, so we also offer elopement coordination — handling the Marriage Bureau appointment, the timeline, and the route between ceremony and portraits so you can simply show up and be present.
