A Small Wedding Doesn’t Mean A Small Moment
Most people think a courthouse wedding is just paperwork.
I see it differently.
The anticipation before you walk in. The nerves. The hugs afterward. The moment it finally hits you that you're married.
Those are the moments worth remembering.
My approach is simple: a little guidance when you need it, plenty of space when you don't.
So the photographs feel like your day, not a photoshoot.
Designed for NYC City Hall weddings & intimate celebrations.
2 Hours of Coverage
Two hours with me at your side, from the ceremony to the portraits that follow. Every quiet moment, every real one.
Film & Digital Photography
A blend of digital and 35mm film photography throughout the day, bringing together crisp digital images with the warmth and character of film.
Private Online Gallery
100+ high resolution images delivered in a beautiful gallery, ready to download, print and share.
Next-Day Wedding Preview
A curated selection of edited images in your inbox the morning after, so you can start reliving the day and sharing the news right away.
Additional coverage is available if you’d like to continue with portraits elsewhere in the city or document more of your celebration after City Hall.
How we work together
Tell me about your day.
Reach out and tell me what you’re planning. I’ll put together everything you need to move forward.
Reserve your date.
A 25% retainer and signed agreement reserves your date. The remaining balance is due five days before your wedding. Once booked, your date and time are held exclusively for you.
I show up. You stay present.
I handle the rest quietly, intentionally, and with care, so you can be where you’re supposed to be: in it.
Your photos arrive.
A preview arrives within 48 hours, with your complete gallery delivered within one to five weeks.
It was truly a pleasure having Penelope as our photographer. From the beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, and we really appreciated her professionalism and the care she put into capturing every moment.
Thank you for being such an important part of our City Hall wedding day. We will cherish these photos forever.
A few things you might be wondering.
How much time do we need?
The process at the courthouse usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the day and how busy it is. Couples usually start with two hours of coverage so we have time for portraits afterward.
Do you photograph dinners or
celebrations after City Hall?
Yes. Coverage can be extended if you’re planning lunch, dinner, portraits elsewhere in the city, or a gathering with family and friends.
Do we need to know how to pose?
Not at all. I’ll guide you when needed and let the rest unfold naturally.
