One of the most beautiful parts of a small, intimate wedding is the freedom to slow down and make every detail feel like you. From handwritten notes to flowers from grandma’s garden, simple, heartfelt touches create the kind of magic that guests remember. You don’t need grand gestures, just love, intention, and a little creativity.

It might feel helpful to give your photographer a long list of must-have wedding photos, but doing so could actually limit the magic. The best images often happen in the in-between moments, not from a checklist. Instead, share what truly matters to you and trust your photographer to create photos that feel real, emotional, and uniquely yours.
