Over the last year, I’ve seen a real shift in how couples are choosing to get married — and honestly, I love it.
More and more couples are planning smaller, more personal weddings. Less pressure, fewer expectations, and more focus on what actually matters… the two of you and the people closest to you.
If that sounds like you, then my Intimate Collection was designed exactly for this kind of day.
What is an Intimate Wedding or Elopement?
An intimate wedding doesn’t mean “less special” — if anything, it’s often more meaningful.
It usually includes:
- A smaller guest list (often immediate family and close friends)
- Shorter timelines
- A relaxed, less structured feel
- More time to actually enjoy the day together
This could be anything from:
- A ceremony at Milton Keynes Registry Office
- A small countryside venue
- A private garden celebration
- Or even a simple “just us” elopement
And the best part? You can make it completely your own.
Why Shorter Wedding Coverage Works So Well
Not every wedding needs full-day coverage — and that’s absolutely fine.
With shorter coverage (typically around 3 hours), we can still capture:
- Your ceremony
- Natural, candid moments with your guests
- Relaxed group photos
- Beautiful couple portraits
Because the day is smaller and more focused, everything flows naturally without feeling rushed.
It also means you’re not being followed around all day — just the parts that matter most.
My Approach to Intimate Weddings
Smaller weddings are where my style really shines.
I keep things:
- Relaxed and natural – no awkward posing
- Unobtrusive – so you can just enjoy your day
- Flexible – adapting to whatever your plans look like
Even with shorter coverage, I still focus on:
- Genuine moments and emotion
- Beautiful portraits (with a little creative flair when the light allows)
- Telling the story of your day, however simple it may be
And just because your wedding is smaller doesn’t mean you miss out — you’ll still receive a full gallery of professionally edited images to relive it all.
Perfect Venues for Intimate Weddings (Local Ideas)
If you’re planning something smaller, these types of venues work beautifully:
- Registry offices like Milton Keynes Registry Office
- Barn venues with smaller packages
- Country houses with private dining options
- Gardens or at-home weddings
I’ve photographed lots of weddings like this across:
- Milton Keynes
- Northamptonshire
- Bedfordshire
- Buckinghamshire
And I’m always happy to suggest locations that photograph beautifully.
Is an Intimate Wedding Right for You?
If you’re:
- Wanting a more relaxed day
- Not keen on being the centre of attention all day
- Planning something simple but meaningful
- Or just don’t need full-day coverage
Then an intimate wedding could be the perfect fit.
Intimate Wedding Photography Packages
My Intimate Collection starts from 3 hours coverage, making it ideal for:
- Registry office weddings
- Small venue celebrations
- Elopements
I’ll arrive just before your ceremony, capture everything naturally, and stay long enough to document those key moments and some beautiful portraits.
If you’re unsure how much coverage you need, I’m always happy to chat it through — every wedding is different.
