Neither Liam (the photographer) nor Judie (the celebrant) can be called sexy or glamorous or high strung. We are not wedding planners who worship decor details. And we do not stalk our couples until they book with us. In fact, notice how we use "our couples" rather than the common "our clients." We know you are real people with needs, worries, and hopes. The affection and commitment between you and yours will create your marriage--not the weather or setting or the photos. So, amid fabric choices for attire, we are quite mundane cotton people. We love each other, and we do enjoy helping our couples to get married as calmly and meaningfully as possible. If we seem appealing to you, please feel free to e-mail GuerrillaWedding@gmail.com with your ceremony place, date, and time to check our availability.

By the way, as a forewarning, the main page slide-show does not appear on all mobile devices. Also, if you click on the slide-show, you will be taken to a page with descriptions of the images, including locations.

About
Congratulations!

We are a professional photographer and experienced registered marriage officiant in New York. Together, we have helped hundreds of couples celebrate their spontaneous elopement, classic intimate wedding, or fun guerrilla-style ceremony. As married co-workers who choose a tiny wedding, we specialize in "sweet and simple" services for all loving couples. We are especially delighted to reside within a State that finally supports Marriage Equality.

Getting married legally involves obtaining a license and celebrating with a marriage ceremony, whether it be five or thirty minutes long. If you need a public record (most do) and plan to marry in New York, you must secure a marriage license in advance somewhere in New York. The process, which is fairly easy, is the same for locals and non-residents who plan a NYC destination wedding. For details, visit a NY Clerk's office near you. A vow renewal does not require a license.

Since we focus on smaller weddings, our honorarium is indeed more affordable than most other wedding vendors.

Our standard package ($150 retainer; $850 balance) is ideal for those looking for more of a planned intimate wedding or an elopement. It includes a ceremony of your choice with the option of personal vows, the filing of your license, as well as photography for up to two and a half hours. About 15-32 days after your special day, you will receive a link to an online gallery with 80-150 downloadable images. It is ideal for those who want to visit two or three spots for their photos (i.e. hotel and park or cool urban spot and waterfront).

Finally, if all you really want or need is a registered marriage officiant, Judie's solo honorarium is $250. She will send you 20+ ceremony examples from which you can choose a favorite, perform the ceremony, and, of course, file the license. If you'd like, you can exchange personal vows too.

Some popular wedding ceremony locations for tiny gatherings include Central Park, City Hall Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Fort Tryon Park, Bryant Park, Grand Central, Riverside Park, Carl Schurz Park, Astoria Park, the High Line, Prospect Park, a formal or community garden, a restaurant, or even a Hotel suite.

Please explore our site. If you like what you see, send an e-mail to GuerrillaWedding@gmail.com with the place, date, and time of your wedding to check availability.

Yours truly,

Judie Guild, Officiant
Liam P. Madden, Photographer
