Why we think you should have an intimate wedding.

Covid-19 has had a huge effect on couples planning their weddings, mainly due to the restriction in guests. Although many have decided to postpone their larger events to a later date, we are so glad so many couples have made the decision to opt in for smaller weddings. With all the recent sadness caused by the pandemic, intimate weddings have brought together families and friends celebrating two people coming together in a unique way and we hope it’s here to stay. 

As wedding photographers what we are enjoying most about shooting these smaller weddings is that couples and their families are not as stressed and flustered as they would be during larger events. With less guests to fuss over and the familiarity between them all it allows us to capture the natural and candid interactions between everyone at the event. Most importantly our couples are celebrating with people closest to them which puts them at ease, creating a special, natural and warm environment. 

We have had the honour of shooting at beautiful luxury locations catering to smaller numbers as well as intimate home weddings and it has been amazing to see the creativity of each family. The weddings isn’t a single day event anymore, families come together for weeks to create a cosy, unique and thoughtful celebration for the bride and groom. With some money being saved on the guest list, it gives families a bigger budget to spend elsewhere on the smaller details, entertainment and photography! 

Although we cannot wait to return to normality again, we really hope Covid-19 weddings have inspired more couples to go for a smaller intimate wedding.
