I had the pleasure of photographing Wedding renewal, those two married originally in Las Vegas during family times and missed out on a proper wedding feel so they gathered their family from Florida and Flew to Beautiful Scotland, it was an absolute pleasure to meet all the family and a cup to do a special moment for bride and groom. I hope they will cherish the images forever. One of the highlights in the home they were staying with a stunning freestanding bath and I couldn’t help myself, not to ask if we could take some shots in it and they said yes!!! It’s so important to meet your photographer prior to your wedding to make sure that you both vibe so the photos can reflect the day, truly as you wanted it to be.

In the wake of the pandemic, a new trend is reshaping the wedding industry: the rise of micro-weddings. Couples are increasingly choosing intimate celebrations focused on creating meaningful experiences with their closest loved ones. These smaller-scale events offer a unique and personal touch that is redefining the traditional concept of a wedding. The surge in micro-weddings can be attributed to several factors, with a key reason being the desire for a more intimate and meaningful experience. Couples are prioritizing quality time with their nearest and dearest over the grandeur of a large-scale event. By keeping the guest list small, they are able to cultivate genuine connections and cherished moments with each individual present.

Micro-weddings also enable a more immersive and interactive experience. From personalized vows to customized entertainment, couples are curating every nuance of their special day to mirror their personalities and values. Guests are further engaged in the celebration, fostering a sense of togetherness and shared joy that can be more challenging to achieve in larger gatherings. One of the most appealing aspects of a micro-wedding is the opportunity for couples to allocate their resources more intentionally. With fewer guests to accommodate, couples can invest in higher quality elements, such as gourmet catering, exquisite decor, and bespoke experiences for their guests. This allows for heightened attention to detail and a more luxurious, tailored experience for everyone involved.
