Richard Murgatroyd Photography
Central London

After getting engaged in September 2018 and planning two wedding receptions for over 300 people (in London and Hong Kong), we ended up organising a micro-wedding of 15 people at Chelsea Old Town Hall due to COVID-19! It was planned in under 3 weeks, after re-arranging 3 times and contemplating a secret elopement! In the end, it was exactly as we hoped given the circumstances.
Our micro-wedding was only possible because we kept the focus on the most important thing to us - getting married! We had to let go of a lot of plans, pre-paid bookings, expectations and wishes - our own as well as those of family and friends - but felt strongly about getting married in 2020 and made it happen through open communication and plenty of compromises. With any budget, choose what matters the most to you and spend wisely - for us, this was our photographer and florist, and we allocated our spend more in their direction.
