There’s something about a micro wedding that just feels different. You can trade the pressure of a huge guest list and packed timeline for a day that actually feels like you... more intimate, more personal, and often a lot more adventurous. B & B’s Lake Arrowhead wedding, photographed by Emily Beth Photo, is the perfect example of what happens when you keep things small and put the focus on the people, place, and experience.
This wedding was extra special for Emily Beth Photo, too—it was her very first microWED collective referral and booking! The couple found her through microWED and brought her along for the mountain wedding the bride had always pictured. With a cozy B&B in Lake Arrowhead, a small group of their favorite people, and a ceremony surrounded by mountain views, it was exactly the kind of celebration micro weddings do best.
Emily’s First microWED Booking
This one was a little extra special for Emily Beth Photo. B & B were her first microWED Collective referral and booking, after finding her through the site. And honestly, it sounds like the perfect first one—the couple was incredibly sweet, and their vision for a laid-back mountain wedding was completely her kind of celebration.
A B&B in the Mountains? Yes Please.
One of the best things about keeping your wedding small is having way more freedom with your location. Instead of a traditional wedding venue, B & B chose a B&B in Lake Arrowhead and turned it into the setting for their celebration. It gave the day a cozy, personal feel while putting them right in the middle of the mountain scenery they wanted.
Just Their Favorite People
Keeping the guest list small meant B & B could spend the day with the people who actually matter most to them. No giant room full of distant relatives or obligatory invites—just their favorite people there to celebrate alongside them. That’s really the magic of a micro wedding: fewer people, more time together, and a day that feels genuinely like yours.
