5 Top Tips for Planning a Non-Traditional Small Wedding
Are you dreaming of a wedding that's more about you and less about following tradition?
Whether you're planning an intimate celebration, an adventurous elopement, or a relaxed day with your closest family and friends, these five tips will help you create a wedding you'll never forget.
Forget the traditional venue if it doesn't suit your style. A wild West Coast beach, alpine mountain-top, native forest, or favourite local spot can make your ceremony even more personal.
Invite the people who matter most - or make it just the two of you. A smaller guest list means less stress, more flexibility, and more time to enjoy your day together.
Think beyond the vows. Take a helicopter flight, explore a hidden beach, enjoy a picnic, or watch the sunset together. Your wedding day should feel like an adventure you'll always remember.
There's no rulebook. Skip anything that doesn't feel right and include the moments that reflect your relationship. Your wedding should be about celebrating your love, your way.
Your photographer is with you for most of the day, so it's important to find someone who matches your style and helps you feel comfortable. I'm the mastermind here at Kylie Perry Photography. I specialise in relaxed, intimate weddings and adventurous elopements across Hokitika and New Zealand's stunning West Coast, capturing genuine moments as they unfold. If you're planning a small, meaningful wedding that's all about the two of you, I'd love to help tell your story with beautiful, natural photographs you'll treasure for a lifetime.
