About Intimate Weddings

Fewer guests,
more presence

the day you meant to have

Intimate weddings are for couples who want their day to feel like their dinner table on a great night, multiplied by love. Fifty or fewer of your favorite humans. A full day's coverage. And the quiet assurance that when you look up, I'll be catching the moments you're too busy living to see.

I cover micro weddings at backyard estates, private villas, restored farmhouses, and downtown restaurants where the candles are real. The day belongs to you. My job is to document it without ever being in the way.

What's Included

Every intimate
wedding comes with

A full day of coverage designed for small weddings that feel enormous from the inside. Here's what's built into every package.

01

10 hours of coverage

From getting-ready portraits through the last dance or the final toast.

02

Second photographer

A trusted collaborator for broader coverage and the angles I can't be in.

03

Engagement session

A 90-minute portrait session before the day, so the camera feels familiar.

04

Timeline design

I'll build a schedule that protects the golden light and the quiet moments.

05

600+ edited images

Hand-edited, color-graded, and delivered within eight weeks.

06

Private gallery

Beautifully designed, password-protected, easy for guests to love.

07

Heirloom album credit

A starting credit toward a linen-bound album you'll hand down for decades.

08

Travel in the Southeast

Included. Destination micro weddings quoted simply and transparently.

The Experience

From first email to
forever

A year-long partnership designed to keep you calm, considered, and completely present on the day itself.

1
Step One

The inquiry & consult

A no-pressure video call where we talk vision, venue, guest list, and what kind of images make you both feel something. If we click, we move forward.

2
Step Two

The engagement session

A 90-minute portrait session months before the wedding so we get to know each other, you get to know the camera, and you have photos for save-the-dates.

3
Step Three

The wedding day

Ten hours of calm, thorough coverage with a second photographer at my side. We document the big moments, the in-between moments, and the ones you'll want to watch on film for the rest of your lives.

4
Step Four

The heirloom

Sneak peeks within 48 hours. Full gallery of 600+ images within eight weeks. Then we design the album together, page by page, until it feels like the book of the day.

Investment

A day worth remembering well

Intimate weddings require thoughtful coverage, quiet presence, and months of careful planning. This investment reflects the full experience, from engagement session to heirloom delivery.

Kind Words

Thirty-six guests, one long table, candles everywhere. Estelle slipped through the evening like smoke. We never felt watched. But when the photos came back, every moment we had loved in real time was there, waiting for us to love it again.

Questions

Good things to know

For me, intimate means fifty or fewer guests with a full-day celebration. If you're planning for a larger guest count, I can refer you to wedding photographers I love. If you're under ten guests, the elopement package might be the better fit.

Most intimate weddings are booked nine to fifteen months in advance, especially for peak fall and spring dates. I take a limited number of weddings each year to protect the quality of each one.

Yes, every intimate wedding package includes a second photographer. They're someone I've worked with for years and whose eye I trust completely. You'll meet them well before the day.

Low light is where I live. Candlelit dinners, dim restaurants, winter ceremonies, all welcome. My approach is to use available light beautifully first, and to supplement thoughtfully when we need to.

It's included but not required. Most couples take me up on it because being photographed on your wedding day feels wildly different when we've already spent a golden hour together. If you'd rather skip it, we can direct that value toward an album instead.
