MacroSnaps in Edison
Elopements & Courthouse Weddings in Edison: photography & video
A courthouse wedding or elopement is small by design, but it is still your wedding day. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover city hall ceremonies, courthouse weddings and intimate elopements with just the two of you or a handful of guests. We photograph the ceremony, the vows and rings, the signing of the marriage license and the first moments as a married couple, then take time for relaxed portraits nearby.
Edison is a growing city in New Jersey, home to roughly 103,000 people. We cover elopement events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout Edison and nearby Piscataway and New Brunswick.
Courthouse ceremonies move quickly, often ten minutes or less, and many offices have their own rules about where photographers can stand. We plan around that with you: arriving early for photos of the two of you before your appointment, staying close during the ceremony, and walking to a nearby park, street or landmark afterward. For elopements in a park, on a rooftop or at a favorite spot, we help you choose a time with good light.
For a typical elopement, clients in Edison book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Edison costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
What we capture
Key moments we photograph and film in Edison
Arriving together
The two of you arriving at city hall or the courthouse, outfits, flowers and the nerves and excitement before your appointment.
Waiting and details
The bouquet, rings, shoes and the marriage license, photographed while you wait for your turn.
The ceremony
Vows, the ring exchange and the kiss, photographed from a position agreed with the officiant or clerk so we don't interrupt.
Signing the license
You, your witnesses and the officiant signing the paperwork, a short moment that many couples are glad to have on record.
First moments as a married couple
Walking out of the ceremony room, hugs with the few guests who came and the steps of the courthouse.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Edison
Sort out the license and witnesses early
Check with your city or county clerk, or the relevant office in Ontario or Quebec, about appointments, license timing and whether you need to bring witnesses. Rules differ by location, so confirm them before you book a date.
Ask about photography rules
Some courthouses limit the number of guests or where a photographer can stand in the ceremony room. Ask when you book your appointment so we can plan positions and lenses in advance.
Book 2 hours for ceremony and portraits
The 2-hour minimum usually covers arrival, the ceremony, signing and 45 minutes or more of portraits nearby. Add an hour if you plan a celebratory lunch or a second portrait location.
Think about light and backup spots
Late afternoon light is flattering for portraits outdoors. Have an indoor or covered backup in mind in case of rain, and add a videographer if you want the vows recorded with sound.
