Candle Light Intimate Wedding // Lundy Farms, NY

I had the privilege to attend @TheHeartUniversity Photography Workshop back in May and it gave the beautiful opportunity to make the best connections, learn a BUTT TON of things to integrate into my business AND I was able to shoot some beautiful people.

Some of these people being Kristine & Micah and their beautiful editorial/intimate wedding setup! Before we get to the candle lit madness checkout the outdoor shots we got beforehand.

We started outside with this session and it was getting cloudy and moody for them… so fitting for this session! Although it ended in a downpour we were SO for it!

The Candle-Lit Intimate Dinner Set Up…

Intimate weddings have been gaining popularity in recent years, offering couples a more personalized and meaningful alternative to traditional large-scale celebrations. These weddings typically involve a smaller guest list, often limited to close family and friends, allowing for a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

One of the key advantages of intimate weddings is the opportunity for couples to focus more on each other and their relationship, as well as on the details that truly matter to them. With fewer guests to accommodate, there’s often more flexibility in choosing venues, decor, and other elements, enabling couples to create a wedding day that truly reflects their personalities and values.

Intimate weddings also tend to foster deeper connections and interactions among guests, as everyone present shares a closer bond with the couple. This can lead to more meaningful conversations, heartfelt moments, and lasting memories.

Intimate weddings often come with cost savings compared to larger weddings, as there are fewer expenses related to catering, venue rental, and other aspects. This can allow couples to allocate their budget more intentionally, investing in elements that are most important to them.

"I love how you were able to capture the candid moments. The photos felt so true to who I am, and who we are as a couple. When I look back at the photos I’m looking back at an experience and not just a pose. I felt so comfortable and confident. Sometimes I get a little bit awkward taking photos, in front of people especially, however I don’t remember feeling awkward once! BEST PHOTOS EVER!!"
