If you’re looking to keep your wedding day simple, chic, and authentic, then an intimate courthouse wedding might just be your dream come true! The best part about a downtown elopement is that everything you want is at your finger tips. Hungry? grab a bite. Tired? grab a coffee. Want to keep the party going? Grab a cocktail! Not to mention, from a photography perspective, any time of day looks good downtown! With so many unique pockets of light, murals & sculptures, isnpiring architecture, every alleyway and street offers a unique vignette for edgy & elevated editorial portraits and documentary storytelling.
For Jade & Caleb’s intimate courthouse wedding, downtown Allentown made for a stunning backdrop! The two had a casual first look outside the courthouse before their ceremony. Jade’s daughter escorted her, for a heartfelt & meaningful start to the day.
The Lehigh Courthouse in downtown Allentown has an intimate ceremony space with enough space for about 15 guests. Jade & Caleb said “I do” in front of their closest family members. It was sweet & simple, which is exactly what they wanted!
From there, we spent some time exploring the courthouse and downtown Allentown as we made our way to The Dime & Renaissance Hotel.
Jade & Caleb were adamant about wanting a few photos in front of Allentown’s Solider’s & Sailors Monument in the town square. Luckily for them, the golden hour sun aligns perfectly with with the statue! We simply couldn’t resist! So after having a few bites to eat, we headed out to catch the sun for 10 minutes of portraits in the streets.
Jade & Caleb’s downtown courthouse elopement was a wedding I won’t soon forget. Jade had an awesome vision for her wedding day, but ultimately it was their trust and positive energy that made creating & capturing their wedding moments feel heartfelt, creative, & fun!
