Why More Couples Are Choosing Intimate Weddings — And How to Photograph Them Right

Something shifted. Couples started asking a different question: instead of "how do we fit everyone in?" the question became "who actually needs to be there?" The answer, for a growing number of people, was: just us. Maybe a handful of people they couldn't imagine not having there. And that was enough.

What Makes an Intimate Wedding Different

At a 200-person wedding, you spend your day being passed between tables. At an intimate wedding — even a courthouse ceremony, even a 10-person backyard dinner — something different happens. You're actually present. You have full conversations. The emotion is more visible because there's nowhere for it to hide. For photographers, this is a gift.

"Small doesn't mean less. It means more of what actually matters."

How We Approach Intimate Weddings

Small weddings require more intentionality, not less. With fewer moments and fewer people, every frame has to count. We focus on the real things: the way someone looks at the other when they think no one is watching. The small gestures. The way nervous hands settle when the ceremony begins.

Elopements Are Their Own Thing

An elopement isn't a failed wedding. It's a deliberate choice. We've photographed elopements on rooftops, in parks, at courthouses, in backyards, on beaches, and in hotel rooms. The common thread isn't the location — it's the intention behind it. Our 2-hour packages were built exactly for this.
