This area is super versatile for photos. We typically start our route on the Brooklyn Bridge itself at the start of the day.

This Dumbo wedding was so sweet. Although Michelle and Geoffrey were freezing cold, they still kept huge smiles on their face. This elopement was a New York wedding photographer’s dream.

Having a Winter Elopement in DUMBO

Although we can’t predict snow, we can predict that it’ll be a little chilly in the winter months. If you’re thinking about eloping in November, December, January, or February in New York City, be prepared for some extra chilly weather. When Michelle and Geoffrey eloped, it snowed about four times in New York during the winter. If you really want snow on your wedding day, you could get your license at the beginning of December and watch the forecast for a day within the month to tie the knot.
