Micro Weddings

​

Micro weddings are intimate, intentional celebrations that focus on what truly matters—your love story and the people closest to you. Typically hosting 10–50 guests, micro weddings offer the beauty and emotion of a traditional wedding, without the stress, crowds, or rushed timeline.

Because they’re smaller and more personal, micro weddings allow for deeper moments, real connection, and meaningful details that often get lost in larger events. From handwritten vows to quiet laughs and spontaneous tears, every moment has space to breathe—and to be beautifully captured on film.

Why Choose a Micro Wedding?

​

Micro weddings give you the freedom to design a day that feels authentic to you. You can choose unique locations, spend more time with your guests, and create a relaxed timeline that isn’t driven by a strict schedule. Less pressure means more presence—and that translates into more genuine, emotional footage.

From a filmmaking perspective, micro weddings are incredibly cinematic. With fewer distractions and more flexibility, we’re able to focus on storytelling, natural moments, and artistic shots that reflect your personalities and connection. The result is a wedding film that feels personal, intentional, and timeless.

Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountaintop, in a backyard, or at a small destination venue, micro weddings are about quality over quantity—and your story deserves to be told that way.

Micro Wedding vs. Elopement

A micro wedding is a full wedding experience with a smaller guest list—typically 10 to 50 people. It includes a ceremony, vows, and celebration, and is shared with close family and friends. Micro weddings are intentional, intimate, and still feel like a traditional wedding day, just without the scale of a large event.

​

Elopement

An elopement is usually a private or near-private ceremony, often with just the couple or a few witnesses. Elopements focus on spontaneity and simplicity and may not include a reception or guest experience.

The Key Difference
A micro wedding is about celebrating with your inner circle, while an elopement is about just the two of you. Both are meaningful—micro weddings simply allow you to share the moment with loved ones while keeping the day intimate and personal.
