Looking for a much smaller wedding? Or fancy an elopement somewhere just the two of you? Sometimes a big huge wedding is just not for you and a smaller more intimate wedding is right up your street. That doesn’t mean you can’t have some wonderful photos to celebrate your special day. That is why I offer Gloucestershire Micro Weddings and Elopements in Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. 

Whether you are looking for a Gloucestershire, Bristol, Bath or Somerset photographer I have you covered! But I don’t stop there I cover the whole of the UK and abroad so get in touch to discuss your options!

What is a micro wedding vs an elopement?

After the dreaded pandemic, the micro wedding has become ever more popular with couples and photographers! Trust me when I say these are just as special as full day weddings. 

More and more couples opt for a micro wedding for a variety of reasons. Typically a micro wedding describes a wedding of around 15-30 guests where most events like the wedding breakfast and speeches still happen like in a full day wedding. Some couples choose to have a party but not always – it is up to you. 

An elopement wedding is usually just the two of you and whoever is there marrying you. Lots of couples choose to travel abroad or a fair distance for an elopement. Some up a mountain but others just down to the registry office – ultimately it is totally up to you. Traditionally it was used to described a couple rushing off to quickly get married but you can spend as little or much time planning your elopement.

MICRO WEDDINGS AND ELOPEMENTS FAQs

I aim to send you your final album 4-6 weeks after your wedding. If this was to change during busy periods I would keep you informed. I always send you through a first look album straight after your wedding containing about 5-15 photos from throughout your day. This is usually sent within 24 hours but again may vary depending on how busy I am at other couples’ weddings.

Typically for a Micro Wedding or Elopement you will receive 200+ photos. Both in a colour and a selection in black and white. 

Yes I edit the photos. The process of editing essentially involves making an appropriate artistic judgement on each photo for a cohesive collection. With minor adjustments to the exposure and crop or a conversion to black and white, for example. After this process you’ll receive perfectly-crafted digital images that reflect your beautiful day and you as a couple. However, if you want certain photos photoshopped in any I can offer this service (depending on the request) for an additional fee. 

As far as you need! I am based in Gloucestershire so any micro weddings and elopements within my 40 mile radius includes free travel. 

If you are looking for somewhere further afield then get in touch for a bespoke quote on the price for your wedding.  

Yes! I offer a selection of different albums. You can pre order one before your wedding day or come back to me after. They really are a very special touch after your wedding. I always show albums at my wedding fayres so pop along to see one! If you want more information on albums, drop me a message and I can send you over my wedding guide. 

COMING SOON IN 2023 – New options for photo albums, photo books and much more!
