The New York City Elopement Team
What To Pack For Your NYC Elopement
After more than 1,200 elopements in New York City, we have seen just about everything: surprise rain, surprise wind, new shoes declaring war, forgotten tissues, cold hands, hot subway platforms, and at least one bouquet trying to escape into traffic.
Β
So we put together a simple list of helpful items couples are often glad they brought with them.
Β
You do not need all of this. Please do not arrive with a survival backpack like you are hiking the Appalachian Trail in wedding clothes. But depending on your season, locations, shoes, and plans for the day, a few of these small things can make your NYC elopement feel a lot easier.

The "Oh S**T" Emergency Kit
This is the tiny kit for the tiny disasters. Not dramatic disasters. Just normal wedding day stuff: a loose button, lipstick smudge, shoe betrayal, mystery stain, aggressive wind, headache, happy tears, or one piece of hair choosing violence.
The βRainy Dayβ NYC Elopement Kit
Rain in New York does not have to ruin your elopement. Honestly, it can be ridiculously romantic in photos. This list includes clear umbrellas, hair helpers, hand warmers, and a few small things that make a rainy wedding day feel much less chaotic.
The βWalking Around NYCβ Comfort Kit
New York is not a βstand in one place and look cuteβ kind of city. Even on an easy elopement day, you may walk through parks, subway stations, cobblestones, bridges, sidewalks, and one mysterious puddle that nobody wants to discuss. These are the little comfort items that can help your feet, skin, makeup, and general will to live.
The βVows, Rings & Happy Tearsβ Kit
You do not need a lot of stuff for an elopement, but a few small details can make the ceremony feel more personal and photograph beautifully. Think vow books, rings, tissues, a good pen, and the tiny things that make the moment feel like yours.
The βNYC Navigation & Phone Saverβ Kit
Your phone is your map, Uber, family group chat, timeline, emergency contact list, and sometimes your vow storage system. Keeping it charged is not optional. This list includes power banks, chargers, and a few helpful travel items for moving around the city without your phone giving up at the worst possible moment.
The βWe Love New Yorkβ Kit
A few fun New York favorites for couples who want to bring a little bit of the city home with them. Think NYC mugs, totes, hats, books, puzzles, and small reminders of the place where you got married.
The βWedding Photography Gear We Useβ Kit
For the photographers, gear nerds, and curious humans who ask what we use on wedding days. This list includes some of the cameras, lenses, audio tools, memory cards, and accessories connected to how we photograph and document elopements in New York City.
You do not need to buy everything on this list. Most couples only need a few items based on their season, locations, outfits, and comfort level.
Β
But after years of walking through New York with couples on one of the biggest days of their lives, we can confidently say this: the tiny practical things matter.
Β
Especially blister bandages.
Β
Never underestimate blister bandages.

Oh Emma & John, weβre so happy to have you in our album!

All the way from Scotland to NYC, with a love story that deserved the whole city as its backdrop. π½β¨
They said βI doβ at the beautiful Wagner Cove in Central Park, then took their celebration on a little NYC adventure, turning the city into their own personal playground for a fun, unforgettable wedding photo shoot. π₯πΈ
From a quiet moment by the water to the energy of the city, this is what eloping in New York is all about. A little romance, a little adventure, and memories to take home across the ocean.
