Elope Me · New York City
Meet your Elope Me photography team
Elope Me focuses on NYC elopements, with City Hall and weekday weddings at the heart of our work. Tati and Roman created the team for couples who want a smaller, personal celebration and photographs that give it the attention it deserves.
Documentary moments. Thoughtful portraits.
We care about the people in front of the camera and the way their day feels. A documentary approach follows the real moments; an editorial eye brings attention to composition, detail and portraits.
You do not need to turn your wedding into a performance. Our philosophy is simple: real moments and genuine emotions, with room for laughter and movement.
