If you’ve ever pictured an intimate wedding day filled with emotion, architecture, and the kind of quiet romance that feels straight out of a movie, a Hartford City Hall elopement might be exactly what you’re looking for.
As a Connecticut wedding and elopement photographer, Hartford City Hall is one of my favorite spaces to photograph. The sweeping marble staircases, soft natural light, and ornate architecture create the perfect backdrop for couples who want something elegant yet effortless.







Whitney and Jake chose to elope in November, surrounded by just a handful of their closest family members.
Before their ceremony, we explored the halls, staircases, and balconies to capture those cinematic newlywed portraits the city hall is known for. Their day was simple but intentional, intimate yet full of meaning — the kind of elopement that reminds you that you don’t need a big wedding to have a big moment.







One of the sweetest parts of their story: while they chose a private elopement surrounded by immediate family, they’ll be celebrating with everyone else at a reception this upcoming June. It’s the perfect blend — an intimate ceremony now, a celebratory party later.
It’s becoming more and more popular for couples to split their wedding celebration into two parts, and Hartford City Hall is an amazing place to start your marriage in a meaningful, stress-free way.
