Micro Weddings · Los Angeles

Thirty people you love, one unforgettable day

Micro wedding photography and film across Los Angeles, one team for both. Intimate ceremonies from $2,700, full micro wedding days from $4,900.

The micro wedding idea

Smaller guest list. Bigger everything else.

A micro wedding is a full wedding, vows, dinner, toasts, a first dance under string lights, held with only the people who truly matter, usually 10 to 50 guests. Couples choose it so every dollar lands on the experience: the venue you actually want, food worth remembering, and photography and film that treat the day like the story it is.

Small weddings are where a single photo + film team matters most. In a room of thirty people there is nowhere for two competing crews to hide, and every extra vendor changes the feel of the day. We capture both, quietly, in the same golden light, and booking photo and film together saves up to $3,000 versus separate vendors.

Kind words

Couples we've kept forever

An absolute dream. You're pure talent, Jake. We're so grateful. Without you, there is no us.

We still watch our video often! The whole day is such a cherished memory, and thanks to the film Golden Glow made, we can relive it as often as we want.

Micro wedding questions, answered

What exactly counts as a micro wedding?
A full wedding, ceremony, dinner, toasts, dancing, with a deliberately small guest list, usually 10 to 50 people. It is not an elopement; there are guests and a real timeline. If it is just the two of you plus a witness, see our LA elopement coverage.
How much should we budget for photo and film?
Four hours covers a ceremony-and-dinner micro wedding from $2,700 photo + film together. A full day, prep through dancing, is $4,900 for 8 hours with ~150 photos and a 3 to 5 minute film. Booking both together saves up to $3,000 versus two vendors.
How many hours of coverage do we need?
Up to ~20 guests with a simple dinner: 4 hours. Getting ready, golden hour portraits, and dancing: 8 hours. We build a light-first timeline with you before locking anything.
Do you shoot backyard weddings?
Constantly, and they are some of our favorite days. Private property means no permits, no venue minimums, and golden hour in a place that means something. We scout the yard's light ahead of time.
Can we add a second shooter?
Yes, $600 on any collection. Worth it above ~40 guests or when getting-ready is happening in two places at once.
How fast do we see everything?
Sneak peek within the first week, full hand-graded gallery and scored film within 6 to 8 weeks. Rush delivery available for $400.
