Vermont Micro-Wedding

Shea + Brandon

Shea and Brandon had a lovely, family style micro wedding in Brandon, Vermont. Being Covid responsible they decided against a reception and just had their family and a few friends for a charming ceremony, champagne toasts and dessert. The micro wedding was held at Shea's grandparents' farm just outside Brandon, Vermont.

"Sally Carpenter and her team of professionals exceeded our expectations in every way. Sally combines matchless artistry with consummate professionalism. Her photography is captivating. With a gorgeous palette (including stunning black and white photography), imaginative lighting, and inspired framing, her photography reflects many depths of love and joy. The plan was to have an intimate, simple, and fun wedding weekend, with a small group of family and friends.... Sally was sensitive to our choices and fit naturally into each event. It was clear that she allowed the personalities and caring to shine through. Her photos tell the story beautifully. Sally does her homework. She listens attentively. She carefully planned her shots for each setting, and when the weather dictated a change, she also demonstrated impressive agility. There is nothing like a confident and creative photographer to keep stresses to a minimum! Sally Carpenter has a true gift and is a delight to work with. She brings imagination, practicality, expertise, and devotion to her craft. Her photos were delivered promptly and, just days after the wedding, she published her blog – which we shared with friends and family. They were wowed, and responded that her blog was the next best thing to being there. We will cherish Sally’s photos for years, as they bring back the joys of the weekend. I wholeheartedly recommend her services." __Katheen, (mother of the bride)

What Is A Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding is an intimate affair, typically with no more than 50 guests. They still feature time-honored traditions that make a wedding but on a much smaller scale.

Micro weddings mean fewer guests and fewer guests means less work, less money and less people to please. Micro weddings also offer more options for venues from charming, dog friendly country inns to opulent state houses and "mini mansions“. There is a world of unique spaces that are inaccessible to larger weddings, but perfect for micro weddings and elopements. You can rent out cafés, micro breweries, restaurants, parks, galleries, or really anywhere you’d never consider for a big wedding. They’re already designed beautifully so you can usually save on.

I love to hear personal vows in any wedding and especially when it’s a more intimate one. Don’t skip the chance to share words and promises with one another, surrounded by the people who are truly closest to the two of you. Sentimental details, for instance your grandmother's bracelet or mother's pearl necklace also adds personal value to your wedding day.

Must love dogs? By all means, a small, micro wedding usually means there are less distractions to worry your dog and recently "Best Dog" and "Dog of Honor" are becoming more and more popular with micro weddings and elopements.
