Are Micro Weddings the new norm? Potentially!
The vaccine roll out is getting us one step closer to allow weddings to return in full force, but with restrictions in place are we likely to see 100+ guests at a wedding in 2021? Who knows. We are forever hopeful, though the lack of knowledge and information from the government around weddings leaves us all in limbo. I am keeping everything possible crossed that we can see some awesome weddings this summer!

However, if things don't go to plan the Micro Wedding could be the way forward, and could be the perfect option for you if you're determined to get hitched this year! I personally love a Micro Wedding or Elopement. They are so intimate and the day evolves solely around you. It also allows us the freedom to run off somewhere beautiful and create some magic as there isn't a fully scheduled list of timings to adhere to.

Don't get me wrong though - I LOVE a big wedding!
But with the global pandemic maybe it's time to go with it and embrace the small and intimate scenes of a Micro Wedding...

 A few of my favourite Micro Wedding venues in Cornwall that I can't wait to return to this summer:​
Lusty Glaze Beach Weddings
Gwel An Mor
The Headland Hotel
​Knightor Winery 

​Check out this beautiful vow renewal at Gwel An Mor and this Micro Wedding at The Headland Hotel Newquay, or this gorgeous bluebell elopement in North Dorset!

The UK is in a middle of a pandemic, we are being threatened by the possibility of another lockdown to try and slow COVID-19 down and weddings have been reduced to 15 people. Being a wedding photographer is hard right now, I went from 27 weddings booked, too just 4 going ahead with no government support. Deflation took over and I cut this year off and got a job. 

However, it is not all doom and gloom!
15 guests at a wedding is pretty perfect for small and intimate celebrations and elopements, that are honestly just as beautiful.

I absolutely adore elopements, why not run away to the Cornish coast with the love of your life and be wild and free?!

Well that is exactly what Rebecca & Stirling did!
After a planning their Cornish wedding of an all day celebration at Knightor Winery in St Austell, this was snatched away from them by lockdown. So they decided to elope from Sheffield to the North Cornish coast, for an intimate ceremony with just their folks at The Headland Hotel, followed by some wonderful windy moments at Little Fistral Beach. 

This had been my first wedding since March and I was so excited to get back at it, even if the face mask meant my viewfinder fogged up.
