Small wedding, big feelings

A civil ceremony can be over in twenty minutes, but those minutes matter. The walk in, the vows, the signing and the first moments as a married couple all happen quickly, and there is no second take.

We check the register office's rules on photography before the day, arrive early, and keep a low profile during the ceremony. Afterwards we take you for relaxed portraits nearby, then on to your meal or celebration if you would like us there.
