                  \nYes, but residency rules make it complex. Most couples do the legal part at home and a symbolic ceremony here.<\/p>\n

                  Do we need photo permits?<\/strong>
                  \nSometimes. Streets: usually fine. Parks, rooftops, museums, private sites: often need approval. I\u2019ll advise per spot.<\/p>\n

                  What size is \u201cmicro\u201d?<\/strong>
                  \n10\u201340 guests. Big enough to feel like a wedding; small enough to stay flexible.<\/p>\n

                  When should we book?<\/strong>
                  \nElopements: 3\u20139 months. Micro-weddings: 9\u201318 months. Peak dates and venues go early.<\/p>\n

                  Can we use a drone?<\/strong>
                  \nIn many countryside venues, yes\u2014with a licensed pilot and permissions.
