Canberra Micro Wedding - B &C

Canberra Micro Wedding - B & C

I met B & C at a friends wedding in 2023.
We were all guests - friends of the groom - and had never met before. But we got chatting, realised we have a lot in common, and as the night wore on (and a few drinks were had) we became fast friends. By the end of the night B was saying that I would be her wedding photographer once arriving in Canberra.

Flash forward to 2024 and she followed through on that promise!

Over coffee, B told me that all they wanted was to be married, to join their families together, and celebrate with their nearest and dearest.
These two said I Do by the shore of Lake burley Griffin, with just their immediate family, and closest friends present. They chose a spot full of beautiful trees, with National Library Canberra in the background, and lots of room for a game of cricket after.

I cant lie - the photos of the cricket game are some of my faves.
Its just so them - a great touch to the morning to make it feel like a family day out.

I love Micro weddings, for lots of different reasons.
I love the intimacy of the day, the connection and that they always have special touches to make the day super personal.

As I wrap this up, I can hear a few of you thinking what is a Micro Wedding really? Is it different form an elopement? How do you pick what type of day is right for you?
Well Im going to be joining up with another well known Canberra Wedding photographer who I am SO Lucky to call my friend, to answer some questions about Micro Weddings, and Elopements. Id love to answer any questions you may have around them, so please add them to the comments, or jump over to Instagram and send me a message there.

Until next time lovers -

After the ceremony, some hugs, and a few group photos, we went for a quick stroll for some couples photos.
This is both a time to get beautiful pictures, but also to spend some time with together as a newly married couple. You can hug, kiss and have a giggle together.

I always get asked how long to allow for couples photos (what I always call formals). And I always say that the shortest amount of time Id like is 20 min, but if you have longer we can spend longer.
The below was a 20 min stroll around Commonwealth Park, to a few beautiful spots, before heading back for cricket and snacks.
