CITY HALL AND  
ELOPEMENTS

We’re here for the couples choosing to ditch the guest list and are opting to do things their own way. City Hall ceremonies and elopements have a reputation for being quick, but we challenge that. We believe these days deserve to be slowed down, savored, and celebrated just as much as any big wedding. That’s why we block off the whole day for you: no rush, no tight timelines, just the two of you (+ Javi and I but who’s counting lol). With loads of film at the ready to document your love the way it feels: deeply personal and anything but small.

Elopement + City HAll Film  Photography

For the couples keeping it close to home (within an hour of Boston) but still doing something wildly meaningful. We block off the whole day for you. No back-to-backs. No rush. Most days run 3 to 4 hours, but we’re never watching the clock. Everything gets documented on real film, the way it deserves.
  • 20 rolls of film + 5 packs of Polaroids.
  • Previews in 1 week, full gallery in 8.
  • A custom proposal deck with timeline ideas and location inspiration.
  • Optional personal florals by Rumphius Farms (up to 2 pieces — bouquet, boutonniere, floral pocket square, etc.) included at no extra cost.

For couples eloping within four hours of Boston; think the Berkshires, Cape Cod, Newport, Portland, Kennebunkport, and yes, even NYC. If we can drive there and back in a day, we’re in. Most days run 3 to 4 hours,  but we block off the entire day for you so nothing feels rushed.

We approach every destination elopement as a full story, not just the ceremony, but the experience of being somewhere new, together. The day you get married is the heart of it, but if you’re planning to explore before or after, we’re always down to come along. Boat rides, hikes, market strolls — let’s document the whole adventure.

For international elopements where neither Javi nor I speak the primary language (outside of English, Spanish, or French), we like to partner with an elopement planner who knows the area well. It keeps things smooth and lets us focus fully on telling your story.

A collection of real elopements and City Hall weddings, all photographed on film. From Boston City Hall to the mountains of Chiang Mai, Thailand, this is what it looks like to slow down and celebrate your love, your way. Javi and I are Boston elopement photographers and motion filmmakers, traveling wherever your love takes us. We work entirely on film using 35mm, medium format, and Polaroids + Super 8, and 16mm to document your love the old school way.

FREQUENTLY
asked QUESTIONS    

(for elopements)

HOW MANY GUESTS ARE WE ALLOWED TO BRING?

We define an elopement/city hall civil ceremony as having a total of 10 people including the couple.
If you intend to have a range of 11 - 30 people present, including the couple (vendors excluded ), your celebration would fall under a micro wedding
31+ people present, including the couple is considered a wedding by our standards. 

How long do you usually take to document elopements and City Hall ceremonies?

We typically spend around 4 hours documenting elopements and City Hall ceremonies, but we’re firm believers that there are no hard rules. Every couple is different, and we’ll work with you to co-create a timeline that feels true to your vision; whether that means starting the day with quiet coffee and getting ready photos or ending it with a stroll through your favorite neighborhood. We approach these days with the same care and intention as a full wedding, so if you’re planning something a bit more involved (like a celebratory lunch or post-ceremony adventure), we’ll make sure the coverage reflects that.

is your pricing firm? 

Yep!
