Hey, I’m Emily! I’m a wedding and elopement photographer in DFW, with tons and tons of experience with courthouse elopements. Today I’m sharing what are, in my opinion, the best courthouses in Dallas Fort Worth for elopements. These all have been good experiences with friendly staff, nice surrounding photo opportunities, and LGBTQ+ friendly. Scroll through and get planning!

Fort Worth Elopement Photographer

What’s in a Courthouse Elopement Package?

Elopement packages will always include a base of an hour and a half of coverage, coverage for 4 (you two plus your two favorite people), sneak peeks, and a full gallery delivered online with personal printing rights. Additional time and guests can be added to fit your plans. You’ll also receive my custom DFW Elopement Guide, which I’ve personally created after dozens (and dozens) of DFW courthouse elopements to make your entire elopement experience a lot less stressful.

Top 3 favorites:
Tarrant County Courthouse, Fort Worth TX
A classic. Gorgeous and unique inside and out. My most popular destination by far. Staff is nice, but the booking system can by tricky!

Denton County Justice of the Peace, Denton TX
A modern building with a sleek courthouse feel. Right next to the Denton Square for more photo options. Judge Wheeler in Precinct 1 is super nice and bookings are easy to come by.

George Allen Courthouse, Dallas TX
This is what you think of when you think city elopement. It’s a great place to have a courtroom ceremony with access to the city steps below for street photos or tons of locations nearby. I particularly love the big windows looking out into downtown!
