Why we exist

Small weddings don’t need to feel small.

We created Elope South Jersey for couples who want a meaningful, memorable wedding without the expense, pressure, and complexity of a traditional large-scale event.

With decades of combined experience in weddings, ceremonies, photography, and event planning, our team knows how to turn an intimate celebration into something personal, polished, and genuinely special.

We believe the size of your guest list should never determine the significance of your wedding day

Two People. Two Strengths. One Wedding Team.

Patrick and Stacy

Patrick and I have been married for twelve years, and we are still madly in love. That relationship is a huge part of what we bring to every wedding.

We still flirt with each other. We still make each other laugh. We still find ways to be romantic, even in the middle of everyday life. I think that naturally shapes the way we approach elopements and weddings. We notice the little looks between couples, the inside jokes, the nervous smiles, and the moments when two people forget for a second that anyone else is there.

Those are the moments that make a wedding feel real.

After years of marriage and years of working side by side, Patrick and I also know each other’s rhythms. We usually know what the other person needs without having to stop and explain it. We know what is supposed to happen next, and we can usually tell immediately when something is not going according to plan. That matters on a wedding day.

Patrick focuses primarily on the ceremony, while I lead the photography and much of the behind-the-scenes coordination. Because we work together every day, the ceremony and photography are never competing for attention. Patrick knows what I need to capture the moment, and I know how he works a ceremony. We understand how each part of the day affects the other, and that allows us to keep things moving naturally.

And weddings do not always follow the plan. Weather changes. A location suddenly becomes crowded. Someone arrives late. The light changes faster than expected. When something happens, Patrick and I can pivot together on a moment’s notice. We do not need to stop and figure out how to work with each other. After all these years, we already know.

More importantly, we genuinely love marriage, romance, and the fun of two people choosing each other. We bring that energy with us to every wedding. Sometimes that means helping a nervous couple relax. Sometimes it means encouraging a little flirting during photos. Sometimes it means knowing when to step away and let the two of you simply enjoy the moment.

When you work with us, you are getting two professionals with different responsibilities, but you are also getting a married couple who truly enjoys doing this together. Our goal is to create a wedding that feels organized, personal, fun, romantic, and completely yours.

Nothing Less Than Spectacular

Some couples elope for health insurance purposes, some because they can't afford a huge wedding. Whatever your reasons, you're going to make some of the most important promises that you'll ever make. Who says it can't be anything less than spectacular? Btw, spectacular doesn't have to cost $20k either.

I Listen

When I’m not presiding over wedding ceremonies, I have a private therapy practice, Here and Now Counseling, where I specialize in mindfulness meditation and supporting families and individuals to create deeper, more meaningful connections in their lives. And that means I listen. I really listen to what you want for your most special day. And when the day arrives I will wrangle relatives and corral the crowd so things go just as you imagined they would.

Ashley

This is your moment.

I believe your ceremony should feel simple, comfortable, and true to you. Whether you’re planning something quick and intimate or a more personal experience, my goal is to make the process easy and stress-free.

I’ll work with you to understand what matters most, so your ceremony feels natural and meaningful without overcomplicating things. From start to finish, I’m here to guide you and keep everything running smoothly.

At the end of the day, this is your moment. I’m here to help make it easy, seamless, and something you can fully enjoy.
