One of the first big decisions is the size of your celebration. The intimate wedding vs big wedding debate is not only about budget; it is about how you want the day to feel. We have filmed both, and each one has its own magic.

The case for an intimate wedding

More time with each guest. You can actually talk with everyone who came.
Unique venues. Small groups can access spaces that would never fit a large party: a garden terrace, a private villa, a lakeside home.
Freedom with details. With fewer guests, you can invest in experiences such as a long dinner, a special menu or a welcome trip.
A calm atmosphere. Many couples feel more relaxed and present.

The case for a grand celebration

Everyone is there. Extended family and friends share the day with you.
Big energy. A full dance floor, live music and that feeling of a true party.
Room for tradition. Large celebrations often include cultural customs that involve many people.
Spectacular setups. Long tables, chandeliers and elaborate decor shine at scale.

Questions to help you decide

When you imagine the best moment of your day, who is in the room?
Would you rather spend your budget on more guests or on more experiences?
How comfortable are you being the center of attention?
How many of your guests will need to travel?

A middle ground

You do not have to choose one extreme. Some couples host an intimate ceremony with family and then a larger party. Others plan a small destination wedding and a relaxed celebration back home.

How size changes your film

An intimate wedding film feels close and personal, with long, quiet scenes. A large celebration film carries more movement, music and energy. Both can be beautiful; the key is that the film reflects what your day truly felt like.
