Documentary Wedding Photographer in DC | Micro Wedding
Micro weddings are becoming more popular ever since the pandemic. Couples are deciding to ditch the expensive, over-the-top wedding celebrations in favor of a low-key, more intimate observance of their love, choosing to have only ones closest to them on this day. Micro weddings can be held at private residences, restaurants, and museums. The micro wedding featured in this post was held at a private residence and a church in Howard County, Maryland during the pandemic.
I hope this blog post will inspire you to choose a micro wedding for your nuptials!
