Ultra Intimate Weddings, a choice rapidly growing in popularity. Is it right for you?
One of East Austin’s famed gems, Sekrit Theater brings a wonderland of possibilities for couples leaning toward a popular trend of elopements and micro-weddings. With the main attraction being an antique glass greenhouse there’s also a lounge bus, a large pavilion, and many other small wonders to discover.
Here’s a small gallery of images I took around the property while photographing as second photographer.
Whether you’re looking for an elopement photographer in Rocky Mountain National Park, a no-frills courthouse wedding in downtown Austin, or a Northern Colorado micro-wedding with just your closest friends and family, the event can be made extra special and it’s definitely worth documenting.
Elopement adventures in the Texas Hill Country or Rocky Mountain NP:
Purposeful Privacy: Couples intentionally choose elopements for the utmost privacy and intimacy, savoring the opportunity to exchange vows in a secluded setting like an idyllic mountain top.
Spontaneous Adventure: Opting for an elopement reflects a deliberate desire for spontaneity and adventure, as couples embark on a journey to discover unique and breathtaking locations that could only be possible with a small crew in tow…or dare I say just you and the family dog. Which is on the list of possibilities since by Colorado law your dog can be the witness to your marriage.
Stress-Free Planning: By embracing the simplicity of elopements, couples intentionally alleviate the stress associated with elaborate wedding planning, focusing solely on each other and cherishing the intimacy of the moment with no more than a few witnesses.
Courthouse Ceremonies at Austin’s Historic Travis County Courthouse:
The Courthouse in Downtown Austin: Although you can exchange nuptials in many courthouses around the country, the Travis County Courthouse on Guadeloupe st. has become an iconic structure to Austinites looking for a courthouse ceremony.
Conscious Simplicity: Couples opt for courthouse ceremonies as a deliberate choice for simplicity and efficiency, valuing the straightforward process of legal recognition and convenience without extensive wait times. A limited number of family members and close friends are allowed to join you for this special occasion.
Financial Prudence: While cost-effective, couples choose courthouse ceremonies as a deliberate decision to allocate resources towards their future together.
Couples deliberately choose small ceremonies based on their preferences, values, and the intentional experience they seek for their special day. Each opportunity represents a thoughtful decision tailored to match the couple's vision and priorities.
Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it can’t be custom, with such a small group of people the opportunities for post wedding reception like gatherings are still on the table. The Austin couple featured here treated everyone to a classic Austin lunch at Stubb’s. I guess barbecue and wedding dresses do go together after all…
