Micro-weddings have soared in popularity since the pandemic but what makes these little weddings so popular and why are so many couples really choosing to downsize their big day?
Rustic chic and pared back glamour, Bridgeton inspired weddings and tropical glamour…..Apparently these are just some of the must have trends for the weddings this season! Wedding planning websites, Instagram and Pinterest are all full of advice on how to have an insta worthy wedding, but do you really need a theme, a style or a colour scheme and how on earth do you choose?
It’s no coincidence that, with the exception of December, the driest months are also the most popular for weddings. A warm, dry day is usually pretty high on most couples (and photographers!) wish lists for the big day but unlike a DJ or car hire, sadly the weather isn’t something you can book in advance!
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to devote this weeks wedding guide to dating!

The tradition of throwing flower petals and rice paper over newly married couples has evolved a little since the ancient romans who threw rice to symbolise fertility, the custom evolved, and people showered newlyweds with corn, barley and wheat for good luck and prosperity ever since. In recent times this has evolved into glitter, dried flowers, artificial petals and even popcorn to not just wish the couple well, but also create a stunning image.
One of the reasons that confetti shots are so popular is because unlike a traditional group shot, you get some really natural, happy reactions, everyone is so busy throwing handfuls of petals, they stop posing and focus on who can throw the most!
This week in the wedding guide I asked for a little bit of help from the quietest member of the team and my lovely husband Allan. The topic we are looking at this week is the groom and more specifically, kilts!
Bridal dressing is a relatively new service but it’s become increasingly popular, especially in the last year. As someone who has helped dress a plenty of brides (it’s one of those things that you do a lot as a wedding photographer!) I know how difficult it can be to work out how to get the dress on without ruining makeup, work out how to lace up the back of a corset style dress, or do up all of those tiny buttons; so having a pro is a great plan!
