As more and more couples embrace micro weddings, the old connotation that micro = low-quality simply isn’t true anymore. We’re seeing an ever-growing number of our couples opt to tie the knot in small celebrations that feel elevated and luxurious without the price tag. Maria & Caleb’s intimate wedding day was exactly that. Emotional and intentional, their celebration included just 25 of their closest family & friends at Maitland Art & History Museums in a day that felt less like an event and more like a deeply personal gathering. As an Orlando wedding photography team, we still love our large, energetic weddings, but there’s something incredibly special and grounding about a micro wedding where every single guest plays a part in the day.

When you think “museum wedding”, does the phrase “affordable” come to mind? Normally these two concepts are mutually exclusive—or at least we think they are. Museum weddings evoke images of brides standing on sweeping marble staircases, stolen kisses in art galleries, and sparkling chandeliers, none of which are thought to be attainable for an affordable wedding. But did you know that it is possible to get married on a budget while tying the knot at a museum wedding venue?
