NJ Elopement & Courthouse Wedding Photographer

Just the two of you, a witness or two, and a photographer who knows how to make a small day feel enormous.

Serving New Jersey, New York & Pennsylvania

Intimate by choice, unforgettable by design

An elopement is not a smaller version of a wedding — it is a different kind of day entirely. There is no receiving line, no seating chart, no 200 guests to greet. There is you, the person you are marrying, and a handful of moments that deserve to be photographed with the same care as any ballroom celebration.

Mauricio Fernandez has photographed more than 750 weddings over 14 years, from full-day celebrations to quiet courthouse ceremonies in Newton, Morristown, and Jersey City. He shoots elopements the way he shoots everything: watching for the real moment, staying out of the way, and knowing exactly when to step in for the portrait you will frame forever.

Because these days are shorter and more focused, we offer smaller intimate coverage options — just ask and we will tailor a package to your actual timeline instead of asking you to pay for hours you do not need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer smaller coverage for a courthouse or elopement?+
Yes. Not every intimate wedding needs eight hours of coverage. For courthouse ceremonies and elopements we can put together a smaller, focused package around your actual timeline — just ask for options and we will tailor it to the day you are planning.
Where can we elope in New Jersey?+
Popular NJ options include county courthouses in Newton, Morristown, and Jersey City, plus outdoor spots like Sparta Mountain, Liberty State Park with the Manhattan skyline, the Delaware Water Gap, and the Cape May beaches. We also travel into New York and Pennsylvania for elopements.
How much does elopement photography cost?+
Our full wedding collections run $1,900 to $3,900. Because elopements and courthouse ceremonies are usually shorter, we are happy to scope a smaller intimate coverage option — reach out and we will quote it based on your hours and location.
Can you help us plan the day, not just photograph it?+
Absolutely. After 14 years and 750+ weddings, Mauricio knows the golden-hour timing, the courthouse rules, and the quiet locations that photograph beautifully. We help you sequence the ceremony, portraits, and any celebration afterward.
Do you cover elopements outside New Jersey?+
Yes. We regularly photograph couples across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and we are available to travel farther for destination elopements.
