Micro weddings, especially those held in a home environment, allow for more personalized touches and a focus on the details that truly matter. A micro wedding in New Jersey can turn a small gathering into a profoundly beautiful and memorable event for your elopement photographer to capture.
Forget the stress of grand ballrooms and seating charts for 200+; instead, imagine saying “I do” surrounded by those who matter most in a place that feels like home—because it is home! As an elopement photographer specializing in these intimate moments, I’ve seen firsthand how a small, personal space can hold a world of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
After Covid delayed their venue wedding, Kristen & Dan decided they didn't want to wait and set their sites on Dan's childhood home, which served as the perfect location for their laughter and authenticity that I couldn't help but smile at behind the camera.
When it comes to photographing backyard micro weddings, I always tell my couples that the location doesn’t limit the beauty. On the contrary, the familiar setting creates an emotional richness that’s hard to replicate. Whether it’s under a string of twinkling lights in the evening or standing beneath a tree you’ve walked by hundreds of times, the comfort of home adds a layer of authenticity to every shot.
For elopements, we often take advantage of the intimate feel of the space to capture those candid, tender moments—like a spontaneous kiss while prepping the table or a laugh shared as you both realize how wonderfully laid-back the day has become. It’s not about grandeur; it’s about capturing the essence of you.
Just because your wedding is micro doesn’t mean the experience will be any less meaningful—in fact, it often makes the day even more personal and memorable. With fewer guests, you have more time to interact with everyone and truly enjoy the experience. You can even opt for custom touches that wouldn’t be feasible with a larger crowd, like personalized menus, handcrafted favors, or an intimate dinner under the stars.
As your elopement photographer, I’ll make sure we capture every detail, from the way your flowers gently sway in the breeze to the laughter shared during the speeches. Every little moment tells the story of your day, and I want to help you remember it for years to come.
A backyard micro wedding elopement gives you the freedom to celebrate your love on your own terms. It’s intimate, personal, and so full of heart. If you’re ready to tie the knot in a way that reflects your unique relationship, I’d love to be your elopement photographer. Let’s make your day everything you’ve ever dreamed of—and capture it in timeless photos you’ll treasure forever
