There’s something about New York City that makes it the ultimate backdrop for love stories, and Bell & Trent’s Brooklyn NY elopement was no exception. This day was everything an elopement should be—intimate, adventurous, and so full of personality.

The day began at the stylish Box House Hotel in Greenpoint, where Bell and Trent got ready together. It was the perfect spot to soak in those quiet, tender moments before venturing out into the city. Once ready, we headed out to explore Brooklyn, capturing memories at some of the borough’s most iconic locations.

The Ultimate NYC Moment – Yellow Taxi Portraits
Of course, what’s a New York City elopement without a yellow taxi? Bell and Trent posed with the cab outside, and we captured some of the most quintessentially NYC photos you can imagine. The bold yellow cab against the city streets and their laughter spilling out of every frame—it was perfection.

A Stroll Through Dumbo – A Dream Elopement Spot
First stop? Dumbo (which if you didn’t know stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). With its cobblestone streets, breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, and the Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop, it’s no wonder Dumbo is one of the most popular spots for NYC elopements. Bell and Trent’s love was as vibrant as the city itself, and their portraits here reflected every bit of that magic.

We wandered along the pier, taking in the stunning views of the East River and the city beyond. There’s just something about the way the sun hits the water and the buildings—it’s cinematic, timeless, and so New York.

Why Brooklyn Is Perfect for Your Elopement
Brooklyn has it all: modern vibes mixed with old-world charm, waterfront views, and endless photo opportunities. Whether it’s Dumbo’s cobblestone streets, the Williamsburg waterfront, or the artistic energy of Bushwick, the borough is a treasure trove for couples looking to make their day uniquely theirs.

If you’re planning your own elopement in Brooklyn, there are so many ways to make it unforgettable:
– Grab pizza from Juliana’s or Grimaldi’s for a post-ceremony meal that’s both delicious and iconic.
– Take a walk through Brooklyn Bridge Park for sweeping skyline views.
– Visit Jane’s Carousel for a whimsical and nostalgic photo op.
– End the day with cocktails at a rooftop bar, like Westlight in Williamsburg.

Bell and Trent’s day was a testament to what makes NYC elopements so special—it’s about creating moments that are deeply personal, beautifully unplanned, and bursting with energy.
