Hello world!

1. Start With Intention, Not a Timeline
We met around 2 PM, with no stress about “being late” or cramming moments into a tight schedule. This was a day designed around experience, not a checklist.
Instead of spending hours traveling between locations or managing dozens of vendors, Lynn and Matias focused on:

-Writing and sharing meaningful vows
-Spending quiet time together
-Taking family photos
-Creating space for genuine emotion

Remember, when you are planning your micro wedding, instead of planning a straight timeline, you should ask yourself: what moments do we want to feel most deeply today?
And then build everything else around that.

2. Choose a Location That Allows You to Be Present
Their portraits and family photos all happened in the same area, which meant no rushing, no distractions, and no pulling them away from each other every five minutes. Originally Lynn and Matias had considered taking photos at a few different spots, but keeping everything close together allowed the day to feel much more relaxed.
Instead of constantly moving between locations, they were able to stay grounded in the moment and fully enjoy the time with their family and each other.
This allowed us to:

- Capture real, unforced emotion
- Take bridal portraits that felt calm and natural
- Let moments unfold instead of staging them

For a small wedding, fewer locations often means more emotional depth in your photos — and more meaningful memories from the day.

Small suggestion from a photographer’s perspective:
Blog posts like this are great for SEO if you add one line mentioning the venue or location (for example Utah wedding, Provo wedding, garden wedding, etc.). It helps couples actually find your blog on Google.
