Micro Weddings in Monterey, Carmel & Big Sur

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 to 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 personal touches that make your micro wedding unique.

Intimacy: Exchange vows surrounded by those who matter most. Smaller guest lists allow for deeper connections and stress-free moments.

Personalization: Micro weddings give couples the freedom to design ceremonies and receptions that reflect their personalities and values.

Flexibility: Fewer guests mean more venue options — from Carmel Valley vineyards to Big Sur coastal overlooks.

Cost-Effectiveness: By keeping the guest list smaller, you can invest more in the details that matter most, from photography to décor.
