A micro wedding gets you everything that actually matters about a wedding day — the ceremony, the people who mean the most to you, the celebration afterwards — without the 150-person guest list or the twelve-month planning cycle.
I'm Cam, and I've been photographing Melbourne weddings for 15+ years and over 500 ceremonies — a growing number of them small, intimate days for couples who wanted a real wedding without the scale.

Real documentation, not a stripped-down service.
A micro wedding isn't a discount version of your coverage — you get the same documentary-style approach I bring to every wedding: unposed, observant, focused on what's actually happening rather than directing a shot list.
Experience with Melbourne's best small-wedding venues.
From private dining rooms perfect for an intimate reception dinner to relaxed inner-north Melbourne spots, I know which Melbourne venues suit a smaller guest count well — happy to talk through options if you haven't settled on a venue yet.
Straightforward, affordable packages.
A smaller day doesn't need to mean a smaller budget spent elsewhere — micro wedding coverage is priced to reflect the shorter, more focused day.
I've put together a guide to some of Melbourne's best intimate private dining rooms and micro wedding venues, based on both photographing there and — before this — working 15 years as a chef.

FAQS
How many guests counts as a "micro wedding"?
Generally under 20 — enough for close family and friends, small enough to keep the day relaxed and focused on the two of you.
Can we upgrade to full-day coverage later if our plans grow?
Yes — happy to adjust your package as your guest list or timeline firms up, just let me know as early as you can.
Do you recommend other vendors for a smaller wedding?
Yes, absolutely — I've worked with celebrants, florists, videographers and cake makers who are well suited to smaller, more intimate days and I'm always happy to share recommendations.
What's required to secure our date?
A 50% non-refundable deposit, with the balance due no later than 7 days before your wedding date.

"We can not speak highly enough of Cam and the magic he brings to capturing stunningly authentic photos to encapsulate pure joy and everything in between on your wedding day.!"
He was our first choice and we were so lucky he was available as we could not have had a better photographer to be part of the day. He was such a calm, genuine and kind energy from start to finish and its been so hard to pick a handful of favourite photos, they're honestly all brilliant!

"Incredible. Cam made the whole process easy, communication was always fluid and easy-going."
Jason and I cannot recommend Cam more highly! Our wedding was COVID cancelled 3 times before we were finally able to say I do Cam was incredibly supportive and beyond flexible. This would have been a horrible time for everyone in the wedding industry. But each time we contacted Cam, all we got was empathy and compassion.
