So, you’re planning the best day of your ever-loving life. Very casual of you. 

Before you get too deep into the checklists and guest lists and oddly specific napkin shades, let’s clear something up:

It’s not the fairytale dress you’ve been dreaming of since you were old enough to know what love even was (and that it was something you definitely wanted to get your hands on, someday). It’s not the tablescapes or the color palette. It’s not even the walk down the aisle.

None of that makes your intimate wedding the best day of your life.

It’s the fact that there is an entire day dedicated to the two of you choosing each other. On purpose. In front of everyone who matters. And you get to live it, together.

The Might As Well Make It Official Phase

That’s it. That’s ALL of it. 

Something tells me you’re going to want to remember a day like that… and to remember it right.

romance, in real time

And by “right,” I don’t mean the grand, sweeping, cinematic moments that every bride and groom ever has on their living room walls (although I’ll totally get those, too).

I mean the way your dad clears his throat three times like that’s going to stop what’s happening in his eyes. The way your hand instinctively tightens around theirs as soon as you get to each other at the end of the

aisle. The split-second after you’re pronounced husband and wife when you both look at each other like, “Wait. Like, actually?!”

I’m capturing all of that cutie, organic, very-much-in-it stuff so that, fifty years from now when you’re flipping through the photo album chronicling said best day of your life, you can say, “It feels like it was just yesterday” and actually mean it.

Welcome to your intimate wedding era

THE MAKING OF MEANINGFUL MICROWEDDINGS IN SAINT PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS

Intimacy is a vibe, not a guest count

An intimate wedding has nothing to do with how many bentwood chairs you rented, and everything to do with whether the day you designed actually feels like your love story. 

You could have twenty people or two hundred. 

What makes it an intimate wedding is whether you actually get to experience it for yourselves, whether you can lock eyes across the room and feel present instead of pulled in approximately twenty-seven different directions.

It’s whether the timeline leaves room for you to eat the food you put way too much thought into. To sit down in the chairs you rented. To breathe and take in how big of a deal this all is. To sneak away for five minutes just to squeal a little bit and say, “Did you catch that? We’re real-life married!!!”

That’s the kind of intimate I’m here for— a day that feels lived-in, not performed.

"SARA IS A ROCKSTAR."

"She didn't just document our wedding; she told a story that we'll cherish forever through her lens. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful we chose her!"

Care to make it a forever kind of thing, too?

We’ve already established that this is so totally a love thing
