Micro Weddings | International Couture Wedding Photographer's Perspective
Capturing the Magic of Micro Weddings: A Photographer’s Perspective
Hey there, lovebirds! As a wedding photographer, I absolutely adore micro weddings. These intimate celebrations are all about the details, the emotions, and the unique moments that make your day truly special. A micro wedding gives you the flexibility to truly construct the day to be all about your desires. Let me take you through the logistics of a micro wedding and how I capture every beautiful moment that is important to you! Remember this is a wedding specifically tailored to what is important to you.
The Basics of a Micro Wedding
-
Guest List: With just 20-40 guests, micro weddings are all about keeping it cozy and personal. You get to spend quality time with each of your guests, making the day even more memorable.
-
Venue: Whether it’s a charming garden, a serene beach, or your own backyard, the venue should reflect your style and vision. International travel destinations have become very popular for micro weddings. Think your dream wedding with magical details minus the whole production element for having 80 guests. It’s your day, after all!
-
Ceremony: Personalize your ceremony with unique vows, special readings, and meaningful rituals. This is where the magic happens.
-
Reception: Some couples go for a traditional reception, while others prefer a laid-back celebration or even an adventurous newlywed shoot. The choice is yours!
Photography Coverage: Capturing Every Moment
Micro weddings are all about intimacy and personalization, making them a perfect choice for couples who want a meaningful celebration with their closest loved ones. As a wedding photographer, I specialize in creating a custom photography timeline that ensures an authentic and memorable experience in front of my lens. Our journey begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision and preferences, followed by a detailed questionnaire to capture all the important details. If you’re planning a destination micro wedding, I can take care of the heavy lifting by scouting the perfect locations, ensuring every moment is beautifully captured in a setting that reflects your unique love story.
As your photographer, my goal is to document every detail and emotion of your special day. Here’s a basic outline:
-
Wedding Bridal Details: I start by capturing the intricate details of your wedding attire, jewelry, shoes, and other accessories. These shots set the tone for the day and highlight your unique style.
-
Getting Ready: The excitement and anticipation as you prepare for the big day are priceless. I’ll be there to capture candid moments of hair and makeup for the bride, as well as the groom’s prep. These moments are filled with emotion and make for beautiful memories.
-
First Look, First Touch, or Intimate Family Portraits: Before the ceremony, some couples choose to have a “first look” where they see each other for the first time in a private moment. Others prefer a “first touch,” where they hold hands or exchange letters without seeing each other. Alternatively, we can capture intimate family portraits, showcasing the love and support of your closest family members.

-
Ceremony: The ceremony is the heart of your wedding day. I’ll capture the exchange of vows, the ring ceremony, and the first kiss as a married couple. These moments are filled with emotion and are essential to document.
-
Post-Ceremony: After the ceremony, we can take family portraits and newlywed photos around the venue. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, we can head to the mountains or another scenic location for a stunning newlywed shoot. This is a great opportunity to capture your love and joy in a beautiful setting.
-
Reception or Adventure Shoot: If you opt for a reception, I’ll document key moments like the first dance, speeches, and cake cutting. For those who prefer an adventure shoot, I’ll capture you exploring a new location, creating stunning and unique images.
