If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels more like you—more intimate, more meaningful, more intentional—a micro wedding might just be your perfect match.

A micro wedding isn’t about scaling back your dreams. It’s about distilling them into something more personal, more beautiful, and, frankly, more aligned with how you want to spend your time, energy, and attention on the day you marry your favourite person.

Whether you’re tying the knot on a windswept clifftop, in a cozy candlelit barn, or under a wild canopy of trees, micro weddings allow you to honour every moment with care and craft—without needing an all-day affair.

What is a micro wedding, exactly?

Let’s clear something up: a micro wedding isn’t just a ‘small’ wedding. It’s an intentionally intimate celebration, often with fewer than 30 guests, where the focus shifts from tradition or scale to experience.

With fewer moving parts, you can savour the experience. That might mean heartfelt vows at golden hour, a handcrafted feast with your inner circle, or an afternoon of laughter and music around a bonfire. It also means your photography package can be shorter—but still completely story-rich.

The magic of a shorter wedding photography package

If you’re not planning a 12-hour event, you don’t need a 12-hour photography package. And that’s the beauty of a micro wedding: you get to be selective—intentional—with what’s captured.

A shorter package (think 2–6 hours) can still tell a full, emotional story. You might include:

• The quiet getting-ready moments (tea, tunes, deep breaths, buttoning up)
• A heartfelt ceremony with all the feels
• A portrait session in a meaningful place—fields, forests, old stone ruins—where you can just be together
• Candid time with your guests, champagne toasts, joyful hugs, the little unscripted glances

Because there’s less rush, the images often feel more grounded, more artistic, and more true to the connection you share.

Why choose a micro wedding?

It’s not (always) about budget. In fact, most couples who choose a micro wedding do so because they want something different—something a little off the beaten path.

They’re creatives. Free spirits. Lovers of nature, good design, music, and craft. They’d rather have a hand-thrown ceramic bowl than a mass-produced centrepiece. They believe in quality over quantity. In storytelling over trends.

Here’s what makes micro weddings so appealing:

• You can go somewhere meaningful. A moody moorland chapel, a lakeside cabin, or your favourite cliffside hike at sunset. With fewer guests, your location options open wide.
• You get to spend time with everyone. No bouncing from table to table. Just slow moments with the people who matter most.
• You can invest in the details you love. A beautifully tailored outfit, handwritten vows, wild seasonal flowers, artisanal food and drink—crafted with intention.
• You’ll feel more relaxed. Less pressure. Less performance. More time to breathe, to feel, to live the moment.

Things to consider when booking photography for your micro wedding

• Choose a photographer who knows how to tell stories with fewer hours. It takes skill to capture the depth and richness of a wedding in just a few hours—but it’s absolutely possible. Look for someone who specialises in emotional storytelling and has experience with elopements or intimate weddings.
• Plan your timeline thoughtfully. With a shorter package, you’ll want to prioritise the parts of the day that mean the most. Your photographer can help you map this out—whether that means sneaking away for golden hour portraits or making space for quiet moments before the ceremony.
• Think about where photography will mean the most. For some, it’s the quiet calm of getting ready. For others, it’s the raw emotion of the ceremony or the adventure of portraits in the landscape. This is your story—tell it in the way that feels right to you.

Intimacy. Intention. Style. Story.

A micro wedding isn’t a lesser version of a “big” wedding. It’s a different kind of celebration—one rooted in what matters most. It’s about heart, not headcount.

So if you’re dreaming of a beautiful, meaningful day with your favourite people (and want it captured with artistry, emotion, and care), a shorter wedding photography package could be exactly what you need.

Let’s make something unforgettable—small in size, but epic in spirit.
