Eloping allows your wedding day to stay simple and personal, with the focus where it belongs: on the two of you. Some couples choose a quick ceremony at city hall, while others head somewhere quiet in nature or return to a place that already means something to them. However the day unfolds, the experience can be unhurried and meaningful, with space for both the ceremony itself and the moments that surround it.

An elopement allows you to create a wedding day that reflects who you are rather than what others expect.
Eloping gives you the freedom to marry somewhere meaningful, whether that’s city hall, a forest trail, or somewhere unexpected.
There's no large guest list and no complicated timeline, just the two of you focusing on this moment that links your past to your future.

"Everyone could not say enough good things about you. We cannot thank you enough for everything."
Some couples want a little guidance along the way, while others prefer to forget the camera is even there. I'm comfortable with both.
Elopements are often simple and unstructured, which leaves space for real moments to unfold. Whether we're walking through city hall, wandering a town you love, or hiking somewhere beautiful together, I document the time together in such a way that the photographs feel natural and true to the experience.
Elopements are often simple and unhurried. The day might include a short ceremony, time exploring somewhere meaningful together, and photographs along the way.
Some couples begin at city hall. Others hike to a scenic spot or wander through a town they love. Without a large timeline to manage, the day can unfold naturally.
"She delivered on time and the photos look amazing. They turned out exactly and I mean exactly how I envisioned. I couldn't believe it. Have even more to say? OK but keep it short though!"

New York offers countless places to elope. Some couples choose a simple ceremony at city hall, while others head to the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, or somewhere meaningful to them.
Whether your day takes place in the city or somewhere quieter in nature, elopements allow the focus to remain on the two of you. From the subway to a scenic overlook, I will photograph you in a place that excites you.
I focus primarily on elopements and very small wedding celebrations across New York and the Hudson Valley, though I’m always happy to travel. The days I photograph are usually centered around the ceremony itself, along with time for portraits and exploring somewhere meaningful together.
If you're planning a larger wedding with a full reception — dinner, speeches, and dancing — I recommend working with a photographer who specializes in that type of coverage.
If you're planning something simple and relaxed, whether it's just the two of you or a small group of loved ones, I’d love to hear about what you're envisioning.

Most elopements I photograph include up to 90 minutes of coverage, which is often perfect for a simple ceremony followed by portraits nearby.
Some couples keep things very straightforward, while others build in a little more time to explore — walking through a favorite town, visiting a scenic location, or hiking somewhere meaningful.
If you’re planning something more involved, I’m always happy to create a custom quote based on what you have in mind.
