Elopement in NYC | Photo, Video & Cinematic Memories

Tailored elopement experiences in New York — choose photo, video, or both.

Intimate, editorial, unforgettable.

Your Elopement, Cinematized

Each elopement film we create is more than just documentation — it's an emotional time capsule.
We work with light, rhythm, and space to make your story feel alive.

Moments That Move You

From stolen glances on the subway to golden hour on a rooftop, we capture real intimacy in motion.
This is your love story — unscripted, cinematic, and truly yours.

Your Story in Motion

There’s something about movement — the way your eyes meet, the wind in your hair, the pace of the city around you.
Our films capture these fleeting moments and turn them into something eternal.

Emotion, Frame by Frame

We shoot with honesty and rhythm. No poses, no scripts — just real energy, real love.
Every frame is a heartbeat. Every cut is a feeling you’ll want to relive.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to pose? We feel awkward.
No worries — most couples say this! We don’t force anything. Instead, we guide you gently with natural prompts and movement. We’ll create space for real connection and emotion, so it never feels stiff. You’ll be surprised how good you look just being yourselves.

We’re shy. Will we feel comfortable?
Totally. We’ve worked with all types of couples, including many who felt nervous at first. Our approach is relaxed, human, and kind. We’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can open up and just enjoy being together.

How many photos will we receive?
You’ll get 300+ high-resolution, edited photos in a private online gallery. There’s no cap — if it’s good, you get it. Every image is selected and polished with care. You can download everything and print or share freely with no watermarks.

Do we need permits to shoot in NYC?
Most public locations in NYC don’t require permits for small crews. But if we plan to shoot in parks with tripods, or near famous landmarks, we’ll advise you ahead of time. We keep things low-key and agile, so permits are rarely a problem.

Do you help plan the timeline?
Yes! Once you book, we’ll guide you through everything — timing, lighting, route, outfit changes, and more. We’ll suggest the best times for golden hour, help avoid crowds, and build a plan that feels smooth, not scripted. You won’t need to stress — we’ve got you covered.

Can friends or family join the shoot?
Yes — it’s your day. Just let us know in advance so we can factor it into the pacing and location choices. We’ll make space for group shots and quiet moments alike. If you want it to be just the two of you — that’s beautiful too.
