Micro wedding, big feeling

Fewer guests doesn’t mean fewer moments. Micro weddings are some of the most beautiful, intimate days I’ve ever photographed.

What is a micro wedding?

Intimate by design

A micro wedding is typically 30 guests or fewer: a deliberate choice to keep things small, personal, and exactly how you want them. No seating chart stress. No keeping distant relatives happy. Just the people who matter most.

They’re often held at registry offices, intimate restaurants, private gardens, or small countryside venues. And because everything is closer together (the people, the moments, the emotions) the photos have a closeness big days can’t match.

What makes it special

Small day, big moments

More personal

With fewer guests, every moment feels more intentional. The photos reflect that: less crowd, more connection.

More flexible

Micro weddings can happen almost anywhere. Registry offices, garden ceremonies, restaurant buyouts. I’ve shot them all.

More affordable

Packages start at £350 and are designed for shorter, more intimate weddings. You won’t pay for hours you don’t need.

Registry office weddings

Registry offices are beautiful

There’s something wonderfully honest about a registry office wedding. No fuss. Just you, the people you love most, and the thing that actually matters: getting married.

I’ve photographed dozens of registry office weddings across Lincolnshire and Rutland, from Stamford to Grantham to Oakham. I know how to work with the light, the space, and the pace of a shorter ceremony.

James was an amazing photographer for our wedding. He was friendly with all our guests and managed to get some awesome pictures, both candid and staged. The end result is a lovely set of wedding photos. Thank you so much James.

I cannot compliment James enough! Fantastic photographer, captured everything from our wedding that we wanted and more! All our guests couldn’t say enough nice things about him, chatting away and getting those all-important shots throughout the day!

James deserves even more than 5 stars! Amazing from start to finish. He made us feel relaxed and able to enjoy the whole process. In the best way possible, we didn’t even realise he was there half the time!
