✨Introducing My New Book: ELOPE YOUR WAY: Your Guide to a Perfect Elopement ✨

I am beyond excited to finally share something very close to my heart— my brand new book, ELOPE YOUR WAY: Your Guide to a Perfect Elopement!

Over the years, as a wedding officiant in the magical city of New York, I’ve had the honor of helping couples from around the world say “I do” in the most meaningful, creative, and personal ways. What I’ve discovered through every ceremony, every quiet vow exchange, and every spontaneous Central Park “yes,” is this: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to love and your wedding day should reflect your love story.

That’s why I wrote this book.

Why I Wrote ELOPE YOUR WAY

This guide is for couples who want to skip the stress, break the mold, and create a wedding day that feels 100% them. Whether you’re dreaming of exchanging vows beneath the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise, saying “I do” on the steps of the New York Public Library, or escaping to a quiet garden with just your photographer and your hearts wide open—this book is for you.

ELOPE YOUR WAY is packed with:

💍 Practical tips for planning an elopement anywhere, especially in NYC

📸 Insight into choosing locations, vendors, and timelines that work for you

💌 Advice on writing your vows and creating a ceremony that feels real and raw

🌍 A heartfelt look at why eloping isn’t “less than”—it’s often more

Whether you’re eloping with a few loved ones or just the two of you, I want you to feel empowered to celebrate your union in a way that honors your truth and your journey.

This Book is For You If:

• You feel overwhelmed by traditional wedding expectations

• You want something meaningful without the big production

• You’re looking for inspiration and practical guidance to plan your elopement

• You believe that your wedding should be about your love, not everyone else’s opinions

A Love Letter to the Brave and Unconventional

Writing this book felt like writing a love letter—to all the couples who dared to do it differently, and to those still gathering the courage to follow their hearts. Elopements are not about running away—they’re about running toward something beautiful, authentic, and true.
