Looking for relaxed, documentary-style elopement photography in Boston? Whether you’re saying your vows on the steps of Boston City Hall or tucked away in the Arnold Arboretum, I’ll capture it all, with zero pressure and minimal direction.

My style of elopement coverage is for couples who want their wedding to feel real, simple, and entirely their own.

What Is Elopement Coverage?

Elopement photography is designed for small, nontraditional weddings—often just the couple, a few guests, and a location that matters to you. My Boston elopement packages are intentionally flexible and straightforward so we can adapt to your plans.

Most elopements I photograph last 90 minutes and include:

  • Ceremony coverage

  • Couple portraits

  • Candid photos
