Washington DC Micro Wedding Photos: Terry + Elizabeth
Updated: 11 hours ago
Terry and Elizabeth’s Washington DC micro wedding paired an outdoor ceremony with their online-game love story, their dog, and a way for friends to share the day remotely.
A love story that began online
They met through an online role-playing game, where quests and long conversations led to real-world meetups. When pandemic restrictions eased enough for them to marry, they chose an intimate celebration with the people closest to them. Their photographs move from the ceremony and portraits to playful moments with family and friends.
An outdoor ceremony shared with friends online
A laptop let friends who could not attend in person follow the ceremony. The gallery also shows their dog joining the celebration and guests laughing together outside. Those personal details give this small wedding its own rhythm.
For a remote guest setup, choose one person to manage the device, check the sound and connection at the location, and place the screen where guests can see without blocking the ceremony.

Planning photography for a Washington DC micro wedding
A smaller guest list can make the day feel relaxed, but a simple photo plan still helps. Leave room for the ceremony, family groupings, couple portraits, and candid time with guests. The right amount of coverage depends on the schedule and the moments you want remembered.
If your dog is part of the day, assign a handler and check the location’s pet rules in advance. For an outdoor celebration, discuss a weather backup and confirm current access and photography requirements with the venue or property manager.
Washington DC micro wedding photography FAQs
What is a micro wedding?
A micro wedding is an intimate, smaller-scale wedding planned around a limited guest list. Couples use the term in different ways, so there is no single guest-count cutoff that fits every celebration.
Can guests join a micro wedding remotely?
Yes. A video call or livestream can let absent guests watch the ceremony. Ask one person to manage the device and audio, and test the connection at the location before the ceremony begins.
Can we include a dog in our micro wedding?
Often, yes, if the venue or property allows pets. Assign a trusted handler and plan water and a quiet break so the couple can stay present during the celebration.
How much photography time should we plan for a micro wedding?
There is no standard amount of coverage. Plan around the ceremony, family group photos, couple portraits, and the moments that matter to you, then review the schedule with your photographer.
Which photographs should we prioritize for a micro wedding?
Start with the ceremony and reactions, family and guest portraits, couple portraits, and candid moments. If friends join online, include a frame that shows the screen and the in-person celebration; make room for pets or personal traditions too.
