Candlelight elopement ceremony in Central Park.
One of the most intimate and romantic ceremonies that we offer is the candlelight elopement ceremony in Central Park. Inspired by the “enchanted forest” theme, our team is creating an intimate atmosphere by decorating the space with 150 led candles and string lights.
The best time to start the ceremony is on the sunset when the sky is turning blue and city lights start to appear.
Our preferred locations are Cop Cot gazebo, the Ladies Pavilion, Dene Summerhouse, or the Belvedere Castle. Those locations have a wonderful view of the city skyline or the lake and look absolutely beautiful in the pictures.

Should you have music for your elopement ceremony?
Modern elopements are not the same as they used to be back in the days when the couple was running away from the house and secretly got married.
Nowadays planning your elopement takes as much time and effort as planning your big fancy wedding. The only difference is the sizing of the event. It is a common misconception to think that if the couple is getting eloped they don’t need to follow the official ceremony rules.

The park runs from the Gansevoort Street ( couples blocks below the 14th street) through Chelsea to the northern edge of the West Side Yard on 34th street near the Javits Center.

What is wedding elopement photography?
Unlike a big traditional wedding, elopement is more personal and intimate. Most of the time, couples won’t even have family or friends present, just the two of them with an officiant. This also makes the photography process faster so the couple can concentrate more on the style of photos they want to have. Imagine, instead of planning a wedding for months and stressing out over guest lists and minor details, you simply enjoy the moment and each other. Eloping gives you more flexibility and time to embrace a unique creative vision. Our professional wedding elopement photographer in New York will work with you in advance to determine your vision and style so your photos will tell the story of the day exactly as you imagine.
