Celine and David’s West Village elopement was actually a styled session we put together as inspiration for any engaged couples looking to elope in SoHo or the West Village. Even though this was just a styled shoot, the magic we created felt just as authentic and filled with love. Set against the charming, historic backdrop of New York City’s West Village, this styled elopement was perfection. Picture narrow streets, ivy-covered brick buildings, and that effortlessly chic New York vibe. This place was so so perfect for bringing our vision of a cozy, intimate, and slightly edgy elopement to life.

We kicked things off in the afternoon, with golden sunlight filtering through the tree-lined streets. The couple’s classic, timeless style perfectly matched the old-world charm of the West Village. We wandered around and explored, capturing those carefree, in-love moments along the way.

Styled or not, this elopement shoot was pure magic. If you’re dreaming of a city elopement that combines romance with a touch of adventure, the West Village is the perfect spot. It’s got all the charm, history, and beauty you could want for an intimate day, and I’m still swooning over the photos we captured here.
