TO GET THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHS:

Traditionally, it’s actually rare for my couples to actually talk to everyone that attends their wedding. 

With a smaller wedding, you can now spend time with everyone you’ve invited.  

Couples this year are saving so much money on weddings. Prices really have gotten out of control, and now you can spend the money you save in other places.

For the past number of years, I’ve watched wedding guest counts (and price tags!) get really out of hand when planning. In my experience, this is usually due to family pressure. At some point, a lot of my couples have started to feel like it’s not even their wedding any longer. That they’re along for the ride.

THIS YEAR IS YOUR EXCUSE TO HAVE THE WEDDING YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO. 

You now have full control over the guest list. You get to invite the most important people in your life to be there, and you actually have time to be with them!

Parks, locations, and businesses are all really going out of their way to be super accommodating these days, and that makes your life a lot easier.

Budgets usually get stretched really thin because of the number of guests at the wedding. This is your excuse to involve all of the vendors you would want to have for your dream wedding.

With smaller guest counts, it’s now possible to set up a small reception wherever you’d like. Again, whatever your dream location is for this, this is probably the only year that it will be possible to do.

Schedule your ceremony when it’s good for photos.

2 hours before sunset will give us the best light for photos.

Hire a photographer (me!) for 2-3 hours. That will cover a little of the getting ready, the ceremony, family photos and photos of the two of you. (There are also collections if you’d like me to come to the reception)

My photography is primarily candid, so it’ll be a more relaxing experience than you might think right now. 

Safety in this time is a priority for me. I will respect all current local rules.

This is one of the most exciting things with micro weddings - you can get married anywhere.

You no longer have to look for hall to accommodate a certain guest count, while also meeting the budget.

Now you get to be creative. Some of my couples are getting married in forests, in front of waterfalls, and at restaurants that would not have been possible with a larger guest count.

As a wedding photographer, this is the most exciting part of micro weddings for me.

Weddings have become much simpler overall. Which means, less stress for you on the day. No problems to troubleshoot, you just get to enjoy the day.

This lack of stress on the wedding day, really comes through in the photos. 

We have all the time we need for photos, and we’re in control of the time of day we take them. At a traditional wedding, the photo session just kind of fits wherever it fits - which means non-ideal lighting conditions where you might not look your best.

Micro weddings, we can schedule at the best time of day for photos.

To add to that, you can now use the budget you saved to spend a little more on the details you’d really like to have.
