If you’re planning a micro wedding in Somerset, you’re in for something truly special. With its rolling countryside, historic charm and abundance of characterful venues, Somerset is one of the most picturesque places in the UK to tie the knot – especially if you’re opting for a more intimate celebration. As a wedding photographer based in this beautiful county, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless small weddings in stunning locations that feel personal, relaxed and full of heart.
One of the reasons micro weddings are so magical is that they give couples the chance to focus on what really matters – each other, and the people they love most. Whether you’re eloping with just a few guests or planning a small gathering of under 30, Somerset offers a huge range of venues that perfectly suit the micro wedding style. Think rustic barns surrounded by fields, elegant country houses with private gardens, or cosy inns full of charm and warmth.
Some of my favourite Somerset micro wedding venues include Almonry Barn, a 13th-century barn near Langport with incredible history and romantic atmosphere; Pennard House, an elegant family-run country estate tucked away near Glastonbury that feels like a home-from-home; and The Old Milking Parlour at Cavokay House, which offers a relaxed and flexible setting with countryside views and plenty of quirky charm. For couples after something a little different, The Temple of Minerva in Bath’s Botanical Gardens offers a hidden gem with gorgeous natural light – perfect for photography.
When photographing micro weddings, I love how the smaller guest list allows me to capture more candid, meaningful moments – the quiet glances, the real laughter, the genuine emotion. There’s space for storytelling, for slowing down, and for creating images that really reflect the spirit of your day. Whether you’re exchanging vows in a wildflower meadow, under the beams of a centuries-old barn, or in the garden of your childhood home, I’ll be there to document every beautiful detail.
