A small wedding is perfect for an intimate affair when the couple chooses an intimate and non-traditional way to celebrate their wedding.
However, this can make the choice of the wedding photographer even more difficult. Choose the right wedding photographer seems to be a big deal, and actually, it is as the wedding photographer will be side by side with the bride for the whole day. A bit less with the groom as usually the getting ready is mainly about the bride.
I believe a wedding photographer has to be, first of all, invisible, and when it is time to “show up” he/she must be as much friendly and relaxed as a wedding guest, to merge perfectly with the situation.
This London wedding story is from Richmond, with the ceremony was at the York House registry Office and the wedding lunch at the Petersham Nurseries.
Intimate wedding | The getting ready

Let’s begin this wedding meeting the bride’s best friend. When I arrived at the flat there was only the bride, making her own make-up, as she is actually a make-up artist working mainly for weddings. After arrived her best friend and finally her mother.

As can be seen, the bride was really comfortable on her own make-up.

Untraditional wedding
Of course, there were so many untraditional things about this wedding. The bride and the groom met before the ceremony, together with their friend at the local pub for a drink.
