A Tango Elopement in Buenos Aires
The dance that is the soul of the city, woven into the ceremony: a milonga, a street corner in La Boca, or a private studio, and two people moving as one.
You picture a Buenos Aires elopement as portraits in beautiful streets.
The city's soul is a dance, and it belongs in the ceremony itself.
Tango is not a backdrop in Buenos Aires. It is the smouldering heart of the city, and woven into an elopement it becomes the day's centre.

It can be a milonga, one of the historic dance halls where locals still dance until dawn, a street corner in La Boca where the dancers perform against the painted walls, or a private studio session where the two of you learn to move together. Each gives a different intimacy.

Why it works
Tango is an embrace, two people moving as one, which is exactly what an elopement is about. A ceremony built around it, or closed with a first dance in a candlelit hall, gives a gallery with genuine motion and emotion no static session has.
As your Elopement Curator I arrange the milonga or the studio, plan the day around it, coordinate the symbolic ceremony, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, a tango elopement is the most alive day I create in the Americas.
