CONSERVATORY GARDEN ELOPEMENT From my first video call with Jane, I knew their elopement was going to be special. It's not because of all of the wonderful plans and the gorgeous location they chose. It's because you can just tell when someone's simply excited to marry the person they truly love. And those are the kinds of weddings that I absolutely love being a part of. VIEW STORY CITY HALL ELOPEMENT I get to meet many beautiful couples throughout the year. But Laurie & Ricky are extra special, and I think it's their absolute tenderness towards each other. Every time I see the featured image, it reminds me what it's like to be truly, deeply in love with someone. VIEW STORY ACE HOTEL NEW YORK ELOPEMENT Sarah and Andrew's elopement will always hold a special place in my heart. It's the elopement that changed the way I view intimate weddings. VIEW STORY CENTRAL PARK ELOPEMENT Shooting elopements in NYC really opens up the world to me without the need to travel. Take for example Kasia and Ben, who found me all the way from the U.K. Having gotten married at City Hall in New York City right beforehand, they arrived in Central Park as newlyweds for their one hour portrait session, which turned out beautifully thanks to their photogenic personalities. VIEW STORY LADIES PAVILION ELOPEMENT The U.K. must be full of amazing couples. Tyne and James are another couple who came all the way from the United Kingdom to tie the knot in New York City. They came with their family members to celebrate an intimate and emotional wedding at the Ladies Pavilion in Central Park. VIEW STORY
