New York Elopement at the Museum of Natural History | Sarah & Matthew

Have I mentioned how much I love getting emails from Offbeat Bride couples? When Sarah first emailed me with her idea for an elopement at the Museum of Natural History I was super excited! I had shot engagement sessions but never a ceremony in the space before. But a dinosaur wedding? I will always be game.

On the day of their elopement Sarah and Matthew came up from Philadelphia with their parents to get hitched in the dinosaur wing of the Museum of Natural History. I let them know beforehand that we may have to be sneaky. The thing about locations like these for wedding ceremonies is you kind of have to be up for asking forgiveness over permission, as weddings are technically not allowed. IE… you can’t be wearing a big white dress and carrying flowers and you mostly have to just go for it and see what happens. I’m always up for an adventure so we gave it a shot and it worked out wonderfully!

They picked a corner with T-Rex and Judie presiding and exchanged vows much to the delight of some passing tourists and school children. Afterwards we wandered a bit through the museum and then took a quick stroll in the rain before I sent them on their way to lunch and the airport for their honeymoon!
