Anj & Bo’s New York City Elopement at the High Line

In October, I was lucky enough to join Anj and Bo for their New York City elopement just days before they moved to China. These two chose to elope at sunrise on the High Line, one of my favorite places in NYC! Anj and Bo resided in Chelsea at the time, within walking distance of their ceremony location.

We met just before daylight for their private ceremony overlooking the city, officiated by Frank of Wedding of a Lifetime. Once the knot was tied, the newlyweds welcomed a perfect fall morning by walking the length of the park (and stopping for a few photos along the way, of course!).

Why Elope?

Allow me to clarify: the word “elopement” has evolved in recent years to define less traditional, intimate wedding ceremonies performed anywhere in the world. Of course, choosing to elope is a very personal decision. Some of you know that Jeremy and I eloped in 2016, and it was the best thing for us!

For some couples, the thought of exchanging vows in front of 100+ people is anything but appealing. Others opt to change their marital status for legal or political reasons (health insurance, anyone?). There are countless reasons why couples choose to elope… and with the current state of the world it’s even become inevitable in some cases.

Intimate ceremonies are honestly some of my favorites to photograph. If you and your partner are considering eloping anywhere in the world, I’d love to hear from you!! My passport is ready and I’m always up for a wedding day adventure 🙂

CONGRATS again, Anj and Bo!!! Thanks again for having me in October, wishing you nothing but happiness in your marriage adventure.
