One of the UK's top wedding photographers has spoken exclusively to Austen & Blake, about her admiration for intimate weddings, having organised one herself.
Since falling in love with wedding photography six years ago after photographing a friend's wedding, Rebecca Searle, 36, has gone on to photograph around 30 weddings every year. She has accumulated over 12,200 followers on her Instagram, and her talent has also been recognised by Professional Photo Magazine, naming her as one of the Top 50 British Wedding Photographers of 2022.
Every wedding is beautiful, no matter big or small, but having planned her own wedding on the Amalfi Coast eight years ago, intimate weddings hold a particularly special place in Rebecca's heart. "Whether it's a huge wedding with 200 family and friends, or a super cool intimate ceremony with a handful of people, both have their own beauty and benefits. A wedding can be done well on any budget, and you don't need to spend a fortune on your big day".
Whilst Rebecca found it hard to pinpoint a sole memorable wedding, she emphasised the uniquality of having intimate weddings in the capital, London. One couple, Rebecca says, opted to walk around the city after hiring her for a few hours instead of the whole day to capture the different landscapes of the city, making for a "really special and memorable day on a minimal budget".
Another one that Rebecca highlighted was when a couple "hired out a private Thames Limo boat for 30 minutes for their portraits". This way, you're also able to incorporate the unique skyline and atmosphere of the City of London into your wedding memories. "I'm very grateful to have this job that will never get boring and to witness how each couple tailors their special day to them", says Rebecca and emphasises how spending a fortune on your big day will not make it any more memorable than keeping it intimate.
