Why I choose to only photograph small weddings.

In the world of wedding photography, there's a diverse array of opportunities for photographers to specialize in. Some photographers are drawn to the grandeur of large weddings, with their elaborate decorations and hundreds of guests. However, I've chosen a different path, one that brings me immense joy and satisfaction: photographing small weddings. In this blog post, I will share the reasons behind my choice and why I find small weddings to be a more rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Small weddings typically have a more intimate atmosphere. With fewer guests, there's a unique opportunity for the couple, their families, and friends to truly connect. As a photographer, I get to witness and capture these intimate moments that might be lost in the hustle and bustle of larger celebrations. The genuine emotions, heartfelt speeches, and loving glances become the focal point of my photography.

In large weddings, the couple often finds themselves pulled in many directions, trying to greet and interact with a multitude of guests. This can sometimes lead to stress and exhaustion. Small weddings allow the couple to spend more quality time with each other and their closest loved ones. As a photographer, I can focus on capturing the couple's unique love story without distractions, resulting in more authentic and emotional images.

Photographing small weddings gives me the freedom to be more creative. I have the time and flexibility to experiment with different angles, lighting, and compositions. I can take my time to scout the perfect locations and craft artistic shots that tell a compelling visual story. Small weddings often take place in more intimate and unconventional settings, which can lead to stunning and unique photographs.



Large weddings come with added pressure to capture every moment and please a vast number of guests. In contrast, small weddings have a more relaxed and stress-free environment. This allows me to focus on my craft and provide a higher level of personal attention to the couple. I can create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Small weddings tend to be more authentic and meaningful. The couple often prioritizes what truly matters to them, resulting in a wedding that reflects their personalities and values. These weddings are about the couple's love and commitment rather than extravagant displays. As a photographer, I have the privilege of documenting these sincere moments of love and connection.

While large weddings certainly have their own charm and appeal, my choice to specialize in small weddings is driven by a deep passion for capturing authentic moments, intimate connections, and meaningful stories. Small weddings provide me with the opportunity to create images that are rich in emotion and authenticity. They allow me to focus on the couple and their love, resulting in a truly rewarding and enjoyable experience as a wedding photographer. In the world of wedding photography, I've found my niche, and it's in celebrating the beauty of small, intimate weddings.
