Private Estate in Brewster, Massachusetts

Imagine a wedding where every detail is curated just for you, where the focus is on what truly matters – your love story. Micro weddings are all the rage these days, and for good reason! Let’s explore why these small celebrations are stealing hearts and why they might just be the right option for you. Jenn and Sam’s micro wedding in Cape Cod is shot entirely on film and is a perfect example of how incredible a micro wedding can be. Let’s dive in!

What Is A Micro Wedding?

Think cozy gatherings with your nearest and dearest, typically ranging from 20 to 50 guests. It’s like a mini masterpiece compared to the grand productions of traditional weddings. We’re talking about an atmosphere that’s all about intimacy, personalization, and genuine connections. Jenn and Sam’s wedding was extra intimate with just 14 of their near and dearest. No guest count is too small!

Why We Love Micro Weddings

Bigger Budget For What Matters To You

With a smaller guest list, you have the freedom to invest in the elements that truly speak to your soul. Say hello to gourmet catering, dreamy decor, and that luxury honeymoon you’ve been dreaming of! Not to mention having a larger budget for photography and videography. Listen, we know film photography and Super 8 aren’t cheap (find out why here), but if it’s important to you as a couple, you should have your wedding captured exactly how you picture it! That’s why we love that micro weddings really allow our couples to invest with us and capture their day through film photography.

Jenn and Sam hired us for not only their wedding day but also to photograph the rehearsal dinner the night before. They kicked off their wedding weekend with close friends and family, having dinner at Chillingsworth Restaurant and then heading down to the beach.

Surrounded By Those Who Matter Most To You

Micro weddings let you share this special day with those who hold a piece of your heart, leaving behind the fluff of small talk and distant acquaintances. It’s all about creating meaningful interactions and treasuring personal stories with your inner circle. We loved watching Sam and Jenn be surrounded by just those nearest to them all weekend. You can tell they were so at ease being able to ditch small talk and just celebrate with their loved ones who were over the moon for their marriage.

Location, Location, Location

From a charming backyard wedding to a picturesque setting across the globe, micro weddings offer you the flexibility to choose a location that resonates with your style and vibe, without worrying about the guest count or expensive price tag. Think outside the box and dash off to a little town in the South Of France or in this case a stunning private estate in Cape Cod.

Less Stressful Planning & Day Of Experience

With fewer details to fret over, planning becomes a breeze, allowing you to actually have fun planning your wedding day. No worries about going over budget, who you are gonna sit that one crazy aunt next to, or making sure all your guests arrive on time. On the actual day, you can kick back, relax, and soak in every beautiful moment without the added stress.

Did Someone Say Film Photography & Super 8?

Jenn and Sam told us they have always loved film photography and wanted a documentary style approach for their film photos and Super 8. So, we knew they were our kind of people right away! If you’ve been around for a while, you know that is our speciality; we believe film is the most sincere and genuine format to capture your love. Have a peek at their Super 8 film below!
