Alessia and Daniel had always been drawn to New York City. After several trips filled with exploration, coffee in SoHo, and walks along the East River, they knew this city held something special for them. So when they decided to elope, there was no question: it had to be NYC.
Their elopement took place in Dumbo, one of the most iconic and cinematic corners of Brooklyn. With views of the Manhattan skyline, cobblestone streets, and that soft summer light, the setting was pure magic. They exchanged vows during golden hour near Pebble Beach, with our NYC elopement officiant guiding them through a heartfelt, simple ceremony.
Ahead of their day, we recommended booking a stay at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge not only is it stunning and eco-conscious, but it’s also perfectly located for couples eloping in Dumbo. Being just steps away from the ceremony site gave Alessia and Daniel the gift of ease: no rushing, no traffic, just a relaxed and elegant start to the day.
Our NYC florist, part of our trusted elopement team, worked closely with Alessia on her vision for a monochromatic white bouquet. She wanted something clean, sculptural, and elevated but not every flower survives summer heat. The florist carefully selected heat-tolerant blooms that aligned with the vision while ensuring the bouquet stayed fresh and elegant throughout the day.
Alessia wore a minimalist ivory gown that felt effortless and timeless. Daniel, in a classic black tie tux, brought contrast and sophistication to the look. No crowds, no stress just a quiet celebration of love in a city they hope to one day call home.
After the ceremony, we wandered through Brooklyn Heights, capturing that warm light and quiet intimacy that makes NYC elopement photography so timeless. These weren’t posed portraits they were lived-in moments.
As their NYC elopement planner and photographer, we took care of everything: venue guidance, timeline, permits, styling, floral design, and vendor coordination. It’s what we love doing delivering seamless, luxurious, and emotionally rich NYC elopement experiences for couples from around the world.
