Eloping on the Ocean

What if your wedding day felt more like a dreamy escape than a formal event? B & Z turned that idea into reality when they eloped aboard a private yacht at sunset in the heart of Rhode Island’s coastal waters. This wasn’t just a ceremony—it was an unforgettable experience surrounded by endless horizons, golden light, and the soothing rhythm of the ocean.

If you’ve ever imagined saying “I do” in a way that’s as adventurous and unique as your love story, let their day inspire you to chart your own course.

Sailing into Forever: A Sunset Yacht Elopement

There’s something undeniably magical about being on the water as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange, pink, and gold. For B & Z, their private yacht elopement was the perfect blend of romance and adventure—a moment that felt completely theirs, untethered by tradition or expectation.

From the start, the atmosphere was pure excitement. The gentle rocking of the boat, the salty ocean breeze, and the sparkling water set the tone for a day full of joy and serenity. Their ceremony took place at sea, with the sun casting a warm glow on their heartfelt vows. It was intimate, peaceful, and utterly breathtaking.

Capturing the Magic: A Photographer’s Perspective

As their photographer, I had the unique privilege of documenting this one-of-a-kind experience from every angle—literally. I started the session from another boat, capturing stunning wide shots of B & Z’s yacht against the endless horizon. These moments showcased the grandeur of their setting and the sheer magic of a private ocean elopement.

Once I climbed aboard their yacht, we dove into portraits that truly captured the spirit of their day. Between the golden hour light, the sweeping views, and the couple’s radiant love for each other, every shot felt like a dream. The ocean around us created a serene, almost meditative energy that made this elopement one of my most cherished memories as a photographer.

After returning back to the other boat for sunset, we got some amazing moments captured!

Why a Yacht Elopement is the Ultimate Adventure

For couples who crave something unique, a yacht elopement offers an experience unlike any other. Imagine exchanging vows with the ocean as your witness, feeling the gentle sway of the boat beneath your feet, and letting the endless horizon remind you of the boundless possibilities in your future together.
