How to elope in New York City

My biggest takeaway from photographing hundreds of elopements in New York City is that no elopement is ever the same. You guys are unique, and you’re not afraid to embrace it! But there is a theme that emerges during the planning, and that’s questions about the planning process here in NYC. So, let me take those questions off your hands and give you the answers you need. Check out my step-by-step guide on how to get married in the Big Apple. Effortless planning starts here.

 

And if you’re on the look out for that heart-stopping venue, let me be your scout. Head over to my YouTube channel to take a look through my eyes – and lens – at the dreamiest ceremony locations all over New York City.

Happy Valentine’s Day my wife, my rock, and the heart of our family. 💕

I still love her 85 times to the moon and back. She’s the calm when things get chaotic, the one who sees the good in every situation, and the glue that holds us all together. Her laugh can brighten any day, and her support is the kind of magic you don’t take for granted.

I love our trips to the Baltic Sea, our Disney adventures, and the simple, everyday moments that make life with her so special. She’s my business partner, the love of my life, and my best friend - and I’m endlessly grateful for her, for us, and for the life we’ve built together.

This October, we’ll celebrate 20 years of marriage, and I swear I love her more with every passing year. ❤️

And, fun fact: our daughter took this photo. The talent clearly runs in the family. 😉📸
