A new trend is reshaping the wedding world — micro weddings. These celebrations emphasize intimacy, personalization, and meaningful connections. Instead of hundreds of guests, a micro wedding typically includes 20–50 of your closest loved ones, creating space for genuine moments and intentional details.
With Monterey Photography as your partner, every moment is captured with artistry and care. From heartfelt vows to candid laughter, we document the raw emotions and unique touches that make your micro wedding unforgettable.
Why Couples Choose a Micro Wedding
✨ Intimacy
Exchange vows surrounded only by those who matter most. A smaller guest list allows for deeper connections and a stress-free atmosphere.
🎨 Personalization
Micro weddings give you the freedom to design a day that reflects your personalities and values — from the ceremony structure to the reception details.
🌅 Flexibility
Fewer guests open the door to more venue options. Imagine a Carmel Valley vineyard, a Pebble Beach seaside terrace, or a hidden Big Sur overlook.
💎 Value
By keeping the guest count smaller, you can invest more in what matters most — whether that’s photography, food, design, or meaningful experiences.
