Officiant/witness and Assistant
Kristy is a registered officiant in NYC and can perform a ceremony or be a witness. An experienced assistant is there to carry back-up shoes etc, fluff your dress, shoot some video content, or help in any way that is needed—so you can just focus on the moment and I can keep my lens focused on you.
"She brought out the best in us even though we're not really the type of people that are comfortable in front of a camera."

How to Plan a
New York City Elopement
We set-up a free video or audio chat and you share your dreams and ideas for your elopement or intimate wedding. It is totally fine if you are just beginning the process. If you don't see an elopement package that fits, we can build a custom one.
Phase #1
Once we are officially working together, we will start detailing your plan. I will suggest vetted vendors (beauty, florals, officiants and more) or connect you with my partners to work on your travel plans or styling.
Phase #2
My assistant and I will be there to guide and celebrate with you through out the day. Your sneak peeks will be delivered within 24-48 hours so you can share!
Phase #3
