What is a micro wedding?

A micro wedding is an intimate celebration with 50 or fewer guests. It combines the meaningful traditions of a wedding with the simplicity and presence of an elopement — allowing couples to focus on what matters most.

How far in advance should I book my micro wedding photographer?

Peak season dates (June–October) in Washington book quickly. We recommend reaching out at least 6–12 months in advance for summer and fall dates. Limited midweek and off-season availability may be available on shorter notice.

Intimate celebrations for 100 or fewer — documented honestly across the Pacific Northwest & Arizona

Yay! You have made the big decision to have an intimate wedding.

From moss-draped forests to mountain-top ceremonies or red rock scenery. When your guest list is short, every face, every tear, and every quiet in-between moment make it into your photos.

Tell me about your day

This is Adventure, not compromise

You’re not losing anything by keeping your wedding small. You’re gaining.

Presence over performance - no 200 faces to perform for, only the closest people to you
Locations a ballroom could never give you - alpine meadows, forest clearings and summit views
Time to enjoy - unhurried, real laughter and tears
A day that feels and looks like you - adventurous, faith rooted and wildly in love

“Where you go, I will go …”

Ruth 1:16-17

Your Washington & Arizona Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Bernadette (my friends call me Bernie) I’m excited to hear all about your day. I have ten plus years behind the lens, photographing love across Washington & Arizona.

We didn’t hire a photographer for our wedding. We told ourselves it would be ok and were short on funds. We thought we would remember all the details; we sadly were wrong. The years since have taught us that memory fades, but photographs hold on. They help you remember how the day felt.

That’s why I do what I do. Not to document a big production, but to capture your real, quiet, intentional moments. Vows shared in nature, hands held while the wind moves through the trees, the people who love you the most standing close enough to hug you right after you say “I do”

A micro wedding isn’t a smaller version of your day. It’s a more honest one.

Every micro wedding includes:

✦ Full-day or half-day coverage (you choose)
✦ Timeline planning so your day flows naturally
✦ Location guidance across Washington & beyond
✦ Private hi-res gallery delivered in 6 weeks
✦ Travel across Washington — no extra fees
✦ Military & veteran discount available

Midweek collections starting at $2,200 · Weekend collections from $3300 Up to 80 guests

"From our first conversation with Bernadette, we knew we'd found our photographer. She was easy to talk to and genuinely interested in learning about us and our wedding day. On our day, Bernadette blended seamlessly with our families and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She went above and beyond by capturing video of our reception and special moments we didn't even ask for. We love our photos, and we couldn't be happier with how she documented our day

Why Micro Weddings are the Best!

Micro weddings hold a special place in my heart — and honestly, they are my favorite thing to photograph. There's something that happens when you take away the noise and just focus on you two. The glances across the room. The way your person laughs when they're nervous. The quiet moments between the big ones. When the guest list is small, everything gets bigger — the emotion, the meaning, the love in the room. That's what I get to capture. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
