My grandparents eloped at a courthouse in New Hampshire in 1941, back when “elope” was a dirty word and something done mostly in secrecy. Six children, sixty-five years of marriage, and a few dozen grandchildren later proves that their wedding was just as valid as any other.

I photograph elopements and microweddings throughout the Triangle and beyond, with many happening at the Wake County Justice Center in downtown Raleigh.

I’ve photographed nearly one hundred weddings at the Justice Center and am very familiar with the process. I’d love to chat with you about your elopement day.
