MICRO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN DERBYSHIRE

Even though it was a small wedding, Alison put so much care into every detail. The final pictures were beautiful, and she was so calm, caring, and friendly throughout. We couldn’t recommend her enough, thank you!”

Say “I do” with a micro wedding photography package

Micro weddings may be small in scale, but they’re big in meaning. Whether you’re getting married at one of Derbyshire’s registry offices or have exclusive use of the West Mill wedding venue overlooking the River Derwent, your wedding deserves to be captured with thought and creativity.

With over 15 years of experience, I focus on natural, timeless storytelling, photographing the genuine emotions, fleeting glances, and laughter that make your day unforgettable.

I’m based in Nottingham, making Derbyshire easily accessible. If my natural style of wedding photography speaks to you, let’s chat. I’d love to create a collection of photos for you that will bring back all those special moments every time you look at them.

What is Micro Wedding Photography?

Micro weddings are intimate celebrations with typically fewer than 30 guests, offering couples a perfectly tailored alternative to traditional all-day events. These smaller gatherings allow for a more personalised experience that truly reflects the couple’s vision.

I’ve had the pleasure of capturing these special moments, including a memorable celebration with just five guests in attendance proving that the magic of a wedding isn’t measured by its size but by those present.

The Look of Love


The quiet moments speak the loudest. Stolen glances and little touches only the two of you share.

Confetti Happiness


Whether it’s a sprinkle or a shower of confetti from your guests, the petals settle but the memory stays.

Natural Portraits


Even if posing isn’t your thing, I promise to make you feel comfortable = no awkward smile.

Micro Wedding Photography Package

£595 Weekends* (Monday to Thursday £545)

The fee includes:-

  • up to 2 hours of photography coverage in Derbyshire.
  • Additional hours £150 p/hr
  • USB of digital images.  Printable files are individually edited in my personal style.
  • Licence to print and share your images with family and friends.
  • Online password-protected gallery to share with friends.
  • Pre-wedding consultation to discuss your wedding plans.

What will a 2-hour wedding photography package cover?

Below is a guide as to how 2 hours of photography coverage works if you are having a civil ceremony in Derbyshire.

  • Arrival at the venue 30 minutes prior to the ceremony to capture you and your guests.
  • 30-minute ceremony.
  • 1 hour of photos at the venue following your ceremony.   With a smaller number of guests, this is usually plenty of time for couple portraits, family photos and/or candid photography of wedding guests.

You can add additional hours to this should you wish to. You tell me what parts of your wedding you would like covered and I will work with you so your day is photographed just the way you would like it.

Alison did the photos for my wedding – well, what an amazing lady. She has an eye for detail, is professional, and very passionate about her job. Alison was very patient with us as we changed the photos we wanted on the day and was she happy to accommodate us. I would 100% recommend Alison – lovely person, very professional, and an amazing photographer. Perfect person for a perfect day. Highly recommend.

5 Reasons why micro wedding photography could be for you

Micro wedding photography is suitable for many couples and whilst there are no set criteria as to who books shorter wedding photography coverage, it may work for you if you are:

  • only looking for a few hours of wedding photography coverage rather than all day;
  • having a low-key wedding with fewer than 30 guests in attendance;
  • eloping; A micro wedding photography package will focus closely on you as a couple with a collection of personalised photos.
  • booking a last-minute wedding photographer; or
  • want professional, high-quality photos without the full-day price tag. My micro wedding collection delivers the same high quality as full-day coverage, just with a more focused collection of images.

Photographing wedding celebrations since 2009

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of photographing countless love stories from intimate weddings to grand celebrations across Derbyshire and the UK. No two weddings are ever the same, which is what I love.

The best wedding photos aren’t just about how a day looks but about how it feels. The nervous excitement before the ceremony, the joy of a confetti-filled walk, and the hugs and tears shared between those closest to you. These are the moments that deserve to be remembered.
