How to Elope at the Brooklyn Bridge

Elopement wedding at Brooklyn Bridge in New York

Brooklyn Bridge Elopement

We only had two goals for the day.

  1. Get these two married

  2. Have an incredible, intimate, and intentional day.

Eloping can be a whirlwind. Am I doing this right? Am I going to regret not having more family and friends around? Will this meet the expectations I set for my wedding day? We get it - it’s nerve wracking, all of these questions and more are probably running through your head right now! Let us be the first (and probably not the last) to tell you - JUST DO IT.

The sweet, cherished moments were in abundance when we took these two around the city for their elopement. Brooklyn is a magical place in and of itself, add a beautiful couple, a quintessential summer evening, golden hour goodness, and you have the recipe for the “perfect” wedding day.

Casual, Comfortable Wedding Attire

We fell absolutely in love with the wedding dress that she chose to wear. It was the perfect support role to the vibe of the wedding day. The long sleeves and flowing train displayed beautifully for their couple portrait session at the Brooklyn Bridge. He looked dapper as ever in suit and bow tie to match.

Brooklyn Wedding Venues

There are so many incredible wedding venues in Brooklyn, it can be overwhelming to search through the costs and guest requirements to find the perfect fit. If you are struggling with making a decision - maybe eloping is a good option for you!

First thing is first - you’ll need to get a permit at least 24 hours in advance. So don’t be toooooo spontaneous ;) You’ll be able to do this at the City Clerk’s Office.

Don’t forget your officiant! You’ll need someone there to do the whole marriage thing.

And… that’s really it! We can help you pick the perfect spot for the actual exchanging of vows and we LOVE scouting locations around the city for some really cool “just married” photos. Not only does eloping save you a small fortune in wedding costs, but it allows you to do precisely what you want on such a special day.
