Traveling from Europe for a romantic NYC elopement. Explore their Manhattan City Hall wedding plans, Brooklyn Bridge, and DUMBO inspiration.
Getting Married at Manhattan City Hall
One of my favorite things about a Manhattan City Hall elopement is that no two wedding days ever feel the same. Even though hundreds of couples get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau, every couple brings their own story, personality, and vision for the day.
For Julia and Max, City Hall was the starting point for their New York wedding experience.
When we talked about their photography, they were interested in capturing both the classic City Hall atmosphere and the beauty of the city beyond the ceremony.
We discussed some of my favorite locations around Lower Manhattan, including the beautiful archways of the Manhattan Municipal Building and the surrounding streets, where there's no shortage of incredible architecture and quintessential New York backdrops.
Exploring New York City After the Ceremony
One thing I always encourage my couples to remember is that their wedding photography doesn't have to end when they leave City Hall. In fact, that's often when the adventure really begins!
Julia and Max loved the idea of incorporating more of New York into their elopement, especially the subway, Brooklyn Bridge, and the waterfront in DUMBO.
