Kara & Lee’s Micro-Wedding: A Family-Only Celebration in Chelsea
Kara and Lee’s wedding wasn’t about the big details—it was about the meaningful ones. With just a small group of immediate family, they said “I do” in a relaxed, heartwarming ceremony at the eternally charming Chelsea Old Town Hall.
The weather was perfect, Kara was glowing in her understated gown, and Lee could not stop smiling! From the first moments in the waiting room, it was clear: this wasn’t just a wedding—it was a deeply personal celebration of their journey together.
A Ceremony Focused on Connection
Inside the intimate ceremony room, the atmosphere was full of feeling. No distractions, no long guest lists—just the people who meant the most to them. I saw joyful tears, warm laughter, and a sense of calm that made the whole experience feel especially intimate.
It’s these smaller weddings I adore photographing. Everyone is present, relaxed, and you can really feel the emotion unfold naturally in front of the lens.
Relaxed Portraits and a Stroll Through Chelsea
After the ceremony, we lingered for a few family portraits on the grand steps of the Old Town Hall; and from there, we wandered across the King’s Road and tucked into a few quiet side streets for couple portraits. Kara and Lee walked hand-in-hand, taking it all in. No pressure, just time to be together, soak in the moment, and enjoy their first stroll as newlyweds. The nearby park was also pretty quiet so we stopped in there too for some nature-inspired shots.
Why Small Can Be So Powerful
This wedding reminded me how powerful small weddings can be. There’s a certain ease that comes when the pressure is off. It’s about love, not logistics. Kara and Lee’s day felt joyful, authentic, and beautifully theirs from start to finish.
