Taylor and Ed’s Boston City Hall elopement was the perfect reflection of their relationship—intentional, meaningful, and grounded in the city where it all began. Their engagement story set the tone: Ed proposed to Taylor on her birthday, on a cozy Sunday morning after a suspiciously fancy brunch. It was sweet, simple, and authentic—just like the wedding day that followed.
From Hinge to Happily Ever After in Boston
Taylor and Ed first met during a lazy summer weekend through a dating app, quickly discovering they’d spent years unknowingly orbiting each other in Boston’s North End and Financial District. On their first date, they grabbed coffee and walked around Boston Common for hours, not knowing it would be the beginning of something lasting.
That shared history made choosing a Boston City Hall elopement an easy decision. “We met in Boston and spent the early years of our relationship in the North End and Financial District,” Taylor shared. “City Hall is right at the juncture of those two neighborhoods. It just felt right.”
The Charm of a Boston City Hall Elopement
Once Taylor and Ed committed to eloping, the planning process became fun and stress-free. Without the logistics of guest lists or seating charts, they focused entirely on what felt meaningful to them. “The great thing about eloping is that you don’t really spend time thinking about guests,” they said. “We had my sister and one of Ed’s best friends as witnesses, and that was all we needed.”
Their ceremony at Boston City Hall was intimate and full of quiet joy. Afterwards, they returned to the neighborhood where it all began for coffee—this time, as newlyweds.
Capturing the City That Built Their Story
Photographer Heather Nyquist expertly documented Taylor and Ed’s day, seamlessly incorporating the streets and spaces that meant so much to them. “Heather was able to beautifully incorporate aspects of the city that were important to our story into the photos,” Taylor said. “On our first date, we realized we had lived or worked in the same parts of the city for years—just blocks from each other—and had never met until Hinge connected us.”
Heather captured small details and serendipitous moments throughout the shoot, nodding to those shared chapters of their lives.
Advice From the Couple
For other couples considering an elopement or planning their wedding, Taylor and Ed offered thoughtful advice: “Big or small wedding, the day and ceremony is about the love you have for each other. Keep that as your north star and trust yourselves.”
A Celebration of Simplicity and Connection
Taylor and Ed’s Boston City Hall elopement was a quiet but powerful reminder that love doesn’t need grandeur to be memorable. “Incredibly, surrounded by and embedded within the city, our wedding felt small, intimate, and personal,” they said. It was the kind of day that honored their relationship and the place it all began.
