Are you planning an intimate wedding or an elopement celebration?
Do you need a small amount of coverage to capture your wedding ceremony and some magical bridal portraits...
A small wedding is an incredibly personal and intimate way to declare your love for each other. I’ll be right there as a third wheel capturing every happy tear, belly laugh and your adoring looks of love.
My photography services are now customizable to fit your micro wedding, Melbourne registry wedding, and elopements around the greater Melbourne region. This unique package is perfect for adding the beauty and magic of a luxury wedding into your intimate setting. I truly enjoy capturing moments that are only found in smaller groups and more detailed locations. There is a certain charm to smaller venues that always ends with fantastic and distinctive photos.
Nothing is more exciting than the sharing of vows between two people that love each other. The deep devotion and commitment are something to be cherished no matter the venue. Having a more intimate guest list adds a level of emotion to each picture that ends with a gratifying experience. I look forward to sharing this celebration with your next mini wedding.
Having a micro wedding has become very popular since the pandemic. Life has changed the availability of venues, guests, and gathering together for more significant ceremonies. To help you plan, I have put together a small list of the more frequently asked questions I receive concerning micro weddings.

Jessica was friendly, down to earth and a true professional - you won't regret booking her.'
FAQ for Micro Weddings, Registry Weddings & Elopements
What exactly is a Micro Wedding?
This is a far more intimate and relaxed affair with typically 5-30 guests. It still features all the time-honored traditions that make a wedding so beautiful but on a much smaller scale. Most micro weddings are held in smaller venues like a lovely family backyard, a registry office, or a rustic farmhouse.
What are the minimum hours of coverage for a registry, elopement, or micro wedding?
Your wedding day is special and unique. That is why my micro wedding package is tailor-made for your specific event. I start my micro wedding packages with a base of two hours of photography, then we build a plan from there that fits your day perfectly.

Is a micro wedding, elopement, or registry common?
Absolutely, in fact, it is becoming a trend. Happy couples are more socially aware and willing to step outside the norm. Having a smaller setting allows you and your guests to share food, stories, and love without the stress and drama of a big event. Intimate weddings tend to shift the focus more to where it belongs, on you and your partner.
