New York City Hall Wedding

Brooklyn Elopement

I’m pretty sure, at least every once in a while, every couple thinks about how nice it might be to just elope! Well, Lawrence and Lauren did. And just to make the idea that much more enticing, we have these adorable pictures as proof. But wait….do they look familiar??? Why, yes! Its Lawrence and Lauren who also had a New York farm wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns!

I love it! I’m genuinally confused though — why elope and also have a wedding? I thought you eloped in place of having a wedding? I’m considering eloping so I’m just curious.

It’s just adorable that the couple’s personality seems to come through in both sets of photographs. Lovely!

J,
I eloped because I didn’t want everyone watching me say all the gushy stuff at the ceremony and because I’ve got a lot of religious family and my husband and I are very not religious. So, I didn’t want their drama. Then, we had a reception only a few weeks later. Maybe these guys did the same thing with their farm wedding.

I love love this site, but sometimes I wish it went with the seasons….looking at court house wedding shots in January when they obviously got married in summer just kinda freaks me out…just sayin…I would love to see what a NYC lady wears to her court house wedding in February!!!

Melissa-I love your take on this! I was quite curious why someone would have two weddings mostly because my fiance and I are terrified of saying our vows in front of everyone. We might have to do the same!

Wow, these are gorgeous!! I’ve never heard of the photographer before but I just may have to add him to my list of favorites. Just beautiful grainy-light filled images.

Sweet couple! If I could go back I would definately elope like these cuys – cute and with a photog – and then have a reception with family and friends. SO much easier and special.

Hey everyone – bride here. We wanted a friend to lead our Blue Hill ceremony, but didn’t want to ask him to become a NY notary. So we were legally married at City Hall a few days before our totally secular and otherwise not official ceremony. We didn’t think of it as an elopement but as the official part! I highly recommend NY’s City Hall. We had a blast. It was all over in less than 2 minutes!
