Small & intimate wedding photographer

Telling the story of your day with care, creativity, and a calm presence. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration, a countryside bash, or something totally unique, as a small intimate wedding photographer, I could be there to capture all of the love, the laughter, and the little moments in between ❤️
Weddings are full of energy, emotion, and magic. My job is to make sure you remember how it felt. I photograph the in-between bits as much as the big moments. The quiet glances, the nervous giggles, the teary speeches, and the chaos on the dance floor 🎈 I’ll gently guide you when you need it, and disappear into the background when you don’t.

You just focus on enjoying every second, I’ll take care of the rest 🚀

Do you need a Photographer for a Small Wedding?

No matter the size of your wedding, such important memories deserve to be beautifully preserved. As a professional photographer, I know how to capture the emotions, details, and candid moments that tell your story. Plus, with a smaller wedding, I can give you my full attention to ensure every special glance and smile is caught perfectly. No rushing.

Small & Intimate Weddings

Planning a big wedding isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! More and more couples are choosing small, intimate ceremonies or even elopements to focus on what really matters, their love and commitment, without the stress or the crowds.

Whether you’re planning a quiet ceremony with just your closest family, a quick shotgun wedding, or an adventurous elopement, I’d love to be there, capturing every magical moment. You can count on me to make sure your day is remembered just as you want it.

Elopements & Shotgun Weddings

Elopements are all about adventure and intimacy, whether it’s just the two of you or a tiny group. A shotgun wedding is a simple, quick ceremony, often with a focus on efficiency and meaning, over extravagance.

Both are beautiful choices for couples who want their wedding day to feel personal and stress-free. I can blend into the background so you hardly notice I’m there, but you’ll treasure the photos forever.

Need a Photographer on Short Notice?

Sometimes life throws a magic curveball, and you’re lucky enough to have your wedding plans come together faster than you ever dreamed. Whether it’s a last-minute elopement, a cozy shotgun wedding, or a sweet intimate ceremony, I’m here to capture all the love and magic, no matter how quickly it happens.

If I’m available, I’m absolutely your woman. I love jumping in to freeze those spontaneous moments filled with joy, laughter, and pure heart. No fuss, no stress, just beautiful memories captures, so that you can cherish them forever.

What You Can Expect if you book me as your Wedding photographer;

  • Coverage options from prep to dancing (half-day or full-day)
  • Beautiful, natural portraits without the cringe
  • Emotional, storytelling moments captured quietly
  • Zero pressure, no big productions
  • Help with timelines and flow
  • A calm, organised presence who might also pin a buttonhole or calm a flower girl 🩵
