Microweddings: Small and Intimate Weddings (& Elopements)

What is a microwedding?

Microweddings are smaller ceremonies – usually with anything from 2-25 guests. They tend to be more intimate, and couples tend to be more creative with how their day pans out – often opting for an unconventional day of activities, or a more intimate reception venue.

(Of course, there’s also an argument to go full luxury, as with a smaller number of guests there’s less people to multiply costs by)

How far in advance should we book our microwedding photographer?

This is a rare occasion where I’d say (as I usually only take microweddings on weekdays) if you are planning a weekend one, please feel free to try me a few weeks or months out from your wedding.

How many photos can we expect to receive from our microwedding?

The number of photos you receive depends on various factors such as the length of coverage, the size of your wedding, and the events taking place. On average, you can expect to receive 50-100 edited photos per hour of coverage.

How soon after the wedding will we receive our photos?

You can expect to receive your fully edited photos within 4-6 weeks of your micro wedding. We strive to deliver your images promptly while ensuring each one has that special magic that you see across the weddings on my blog.

Do you take formal portraits / group photos?

I do – about half of my couples ask for group shots at their wedding. I like to do this quickly and efficiently so that it’s not too distracting from the day itself, so I ask couples to pick a maximum of 10 combinations where possible. It also helps to rope in someone loud and bossy to gather the relevant people for each photo!

Do you have experience shooting microweddings?

Yes, I have experience shooting microweddings and understand the unique dynamics and details involved in smaller, intimate celebrations. As with everything I photograph I have the ethic of ‘show how it felt’ – and microweddings tend to have a unique atmosphere that fizzles with a quiet intimacy.

Do you offer engagement sessions as part of the microwedding package?

Yes, engagement sessions can be added to your microwedding package for an additional fee. Engagement sessions are a great way for us to get to know each other and capture some beautiful images before your big day.

Do you travel for microweddings?

Although most weddings I shoot are around Derbyshire and the Midlands, I love to go on a wedding adventure. I charge for travel expenses as needed. But if your venue is less than an hour drive from Derby, it’s considered local!

How do we book?

As with  all my couples – I like to get to know about you and what you want from your photography first. So drop me an enquiry and we’ll meet for coffee, jump on the phone, and start getting a plan together for your (little) big day
