J&P’s Woodstock Elopement

This was an intimate Woodstock NY elopement against the stunning backdrop of peak fall foliage in the Catskill Mountains, carried out with perfect simplicity. The ceremony was held right outside the historic Town Clerk’s office, where the enthusiastic clerk helped create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for the couple and their eight guests. As the sun started to set behind the mountains, the colors of autumn became a perfect, natural photo canvas, with red, orange, and gold colors painting the landscape.

The small intimacy allowed for casual, easy family photos, couples portraits that captured natural moments with not a tinge of the normal wedding-day pressure. Each guest was present and participating in the celebration, and with everyone having a literal front row, the comfortable pace meant nothing felt rushed, and all were able to really appreciate the spectacular mountain views and perfect weather.

The vows in this most picturesque setting were followed by the celebration in truly Woodstock style. The different dining options in town set just the right setting for an intimate reception where a small wedding party could celebrate in a relaxed yet meaningful way. This Woodstock elopement just showed that sometimes the simplest celebrations are, in fact, the most beautiful, especially surrounded by the natural beauty of upstate New York’s most artistic town and the love of close family.
