We are proudly offering the Sweet Photography + Officiant Elopement package which includes photos of the ceremony and photos at the location of the ceremony and also includes a short and sweet 100% legal ceremony. The Sweet Elopement package is designed for weddings with just a couple or a few guests. If it is just you two, the photographer can act as a witness at no additional cost. We would love to hear which location you envision for your day and will also be happy to recommend great locations for the ceremony. Besides photos at the location of the ceremony, we offer location add-ons for an extended shoot as well as reception coverage if needed.
We are also very excited to offer 35 mm film photos as an add-on to our elopement packages. Film images, vibrant and cobalt-toned, are a nice contrast to the perfection of digital imaging and are perfect to evoke moments and capture instants of magic with a kind of aura that is unique to analog techniques. Check out our 35 mm gallery.
It’s amazing to see more couples choosing elopements or intimate weddings, allowing them to plan their special day just weeks or even days in advance while still enjoying a memorable celebration with far less stress and preparation.
City Hall is often the go-to choice for elopement weddings since they handle all the paperwork and provide the marriage certificate at the end of the session, which is incredibly convenient. However, they do have guest limitations, and while they now operate by appointment, we’ve observed that significant wait times can still occur, especially on Fridays.
To address these challenges and make the experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible for our couples, we decided to introduce a new service. David became a non-denominational registered NYC officiant, and we’ve incorporated this option into our elopement packages.
You will still need to apply for the marriage license 24 hours before the ceremony but you won’t have to book another appointment for the ceremony. Also, you can bring as many guests as you like. In case you are traveling from abroad, feel free to check out our guide with detailed information.
With traditional weddings, it’s common to have a planner for all of the pre-wedding planning and a day-of coordinator to ensure things run smoothly. When you hire us as photographers for your elopement we will be doing a lot more than just showing up and taking photos. In addition to the photography + officiating, we are happy to share our planning resources and give you referrals for trusted vendors such as florists or make-up artists in case you want these services included in your day.
