If a big, traditional wedding doesn’t feel like you, but you still want to celebrate with your closest family and friends, a micro wedding might be the perfect fit. With a guest list of around 10 to 50 people, micro weddings are intimate, intentional, and full of personal touches. They give you the freedom to slow down, be present, and create a day that truly reflects your story—without the pressure of a massive production.
I absolutely love photographing micro weddings because they’re so full of heart and personality. One of my favorites was Dayton and Andie’s beautiful celebration with around 40 guests—it was thoughtful, stylish, and completely them. These kinds of weddings aren’t just smaller—they’re more meaningful, and I’m here for every moment of it.

What is a micro wedding?
A micro wedding typically includes 10 to 50 guests—a perfect in-between option that keeps the focus on intimacy, intention, and connection while still allowing for a celebration with loved ones.
Elopements are usually just the couple (sometimes with 2–4 guests or none at all), while micro weddings are slightly larger gatherings with immediate family and a few close friends. Micro weddings often include more traditional elements like a ceremony, dinner, and speeches—but on a smaller scale.
Anywhere! Popular locations include private estates, vineyards, cozy inns, national parks, beaches, gardens, or even your own backyard. Since the guest list is smaller, your venue options are much more flexible and unique.
They can be! With a smaller guest list, you'll spend less on catering, rentals, and venue size. That gives you the freedom to splurge on what matters most—whether that’s your dream photographer, florals, or an amazing meal.
Not always, but it can help! Some couples hire day-of coordinators or work with venues that offer all-inclusive micro wedding packages. With fewer moving parts, planning is more manageable—but support can reduce stress. I also offer assistance with planning as an add on.
Absolutely. Micro weddings can be as classic or creative as you want. Many couples include a ceremony, dinner, first dance, and toasts—just with fewer people and more freedom to personalize.
Most micro weddings last 4–6 hours, covering getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, and dinner or a small reception. But every timeline is customizable!
Absolutely! Destination micro weddings are a fantastic way to combine your wedding and honeymoon into one unforgettable experience. Because the guest list is smaller, it’s easier to travel with your nearest and dearest. Planning involves choosing a location that fits your style and budget, considering travel logistics for you and your guests, and often booking accommodations in advance. I’m here to help guide you through vendor recommendations, permits, and local details to make your destination micro wedding seamless and stress-free!
When you reach out, it’s super helpful to include as much info as you’ve planned so far—think date, location ideas, guest count, and general vision. Once I receive your inquiry, I’ll send over a pricing guide so you can explore the packages and see what fits your needs best. From there, we’ll hop on a consultation call to go over everything in more detail and start bringing your dream day to life!
