3. Pick a Fort Worth courthouse elopement photographer
This is the moment you two are getting married, and it deserves to be rightly celebrated.
I’m a photographer (I live just 20 minutes from the Tarrant County Courthouse so last-minute ceremonies are super doable for me) and my couples have chosen a courthouse ceremony for many reasons:
They decided the months of planning an expensive wedding wasn’t for them.
They’re planning a huge wedding for the future, but want to be married now.
They are having their wedding celebration out of the country, but making it official here.
Whatever your reason, I’ll be right there ready to capture this special moment for you.
