Commonly asked: Wedding FAQ

  • Elopement
    An elopement is small, intimate, and focused on the couple. It can be just the two of you or up to 10 guests. Coverage usually runs 2–4 hours and is about telling your story in a simple, cinematic way, whether that’s City Hall, a hidden corner of NYC, or somewhere outdoors.

    Wedding
    A wedding is a larger celebration with anywhere from 50 to about 200 guests. It follows a fuller timeline, from getting ready through ceremony, portraits, and reception, and typically runs 5–10 hours of coverage.

  • Think about guest count and structure. If it’s under 10 people and focused on the two of you, it’s an elopement. If it’s a bigger celebration with a full reception, it’s a wedding.
