Why You Should Plan an Upstate NY Elopement
With so much variety in the breathtaking scenery, charming small towns, and a vibrant mix of venues and packages to choose from, it's no wonder that so many couples are choosing to elope in Upstate NY. Truly, eloping has absolutely taken off in the last few years.
One of the biggest advantages of eloping in Upstate NY is the opportunity to exchange vows in a stunning natural setting. From the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley to the pristine mountains and lakes of the Adirondacks, there is no shortage of picture-perfect locations to choose from.
In addition to the picturesque scenery, eloping in Upstate NY is a much more affordable and stress-free option than a large traditional wedding.
Another huge benefit of eloping in Upstate NY is the ability to fully customize your ceremony and celebration to your own unique vision. Whether you want an intimate ceremony for two or a celebration with your closest family and friends, your elopement or micro-wedding can look exactly how you want it to!

Upstate NY has it all. There are seemingly endless options for stunning elopement and micro-wedding locations. If you choose to book your photography package with me, this is a huge part of our planning process together! I am always here to suggest trail ideas, micro-wedding venues and more.
Here are just a few (of many) major location options to consider:
The Adirondacks offer a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking and kayaking to skiing and snowboarding, making it the perfect location for adventurous couples.
The Catskill Mountains offer a variety of scenic locations for elopements, including the Hunter Mountain Ski Resort and the Windham Mountain Resort.
The Finger Lakes region is known for its picturesque vineyards and wineries, which make for a romantic and intimate elopement setting.
Elopement Photography Package Price Range
My elopement and micro-wedding packages are grouped together in one pricing guide, which begins at $4,500 for 5 hours of photography coverage.
From there, you can choose one of the larger amounts of coverage time for your day (8 or 12 hours of coverage), or create something entirely custom based on what best suits your plans (i.e. a 6 hour custom package is very popular).
All-Inclusive Package Option in Upstate NY
For couples who want a stress-free and all-inclusive elopement experience, we offer the option to book your photography package and officiant all in one!
When you book the officiant add-on with your elopement or micro-wedding package, the major parts of your day will be all taken care of. During my planning process with couples who have booked both photography and the officiant, we dive into location ideas, photography timeline, your ceremony script, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions about Upstate NY Elopement Packages
Do all of your Upstate NY elopement packages include an officiant?
Your package will only include an officiant if you opt for the “all-inclusive” package. Otherwise, you are booking a photography package only.
Can we have guests at our Upstate NY elopement?
Yes, absolutely! That’s exactly why I combine my elopement packages and micro-wedding packages into one pricing guide.
How far in advance should we book our Upstate NY elopement package?
It's a good idea to book your elopement package as soon as possible, but ideally more than 4 months in advance. Peak season (June - October) books up quickly, with October typically filling up first for each year! We all love a fall elopement. 🙂
