Micro Weddings are becoming increasingly more popular – and for good reason! Not only can they be a little gentler on a budget (but not necessarily – you do you!), but they also allow you to focus more on the things that matter most in life: your closest friends, family, and, of course, each other. Of course, there are some venues, especially here in Tennessee, that are better suited to more intimate celebrations than others. Having a hard time finding them? You’re in the right place! Here is a list of my favorite Micro Wedding venues in Tennessee.

Of course, while the guest list may be smaller, you’ll still want to capture every beautiful moment of your wedding day. That’s where I come in! Let me put my expertise and artful eye to good use, taking photos of every thoughtful detail and candid moment of your wedding.
I'm Laramie (she/her) and no matter how you plan to celebrate, I've got your back. I often work with couples who scale down their wedding plans in an effort to escape the pressure and tradition pushed upon them by society / family. I've even been trusted with secret ceremonies that to this day I haven't ever shared.
I am an advocate for your peace, your ideas, and YOUR day.
That's a promise.
