Why Micro Weddings Are a Beautiful, Growing Trend in Malta
In a world where authenticity and intimacy matter more than ever, many couples are moving away from traditional weddings with long guest lists, formal seating plans, and high-pressure timelines. Instead, they’re embracing something more meaningful: micro weddings.
What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding is a celebration with fewer guests — typically under 20. But less doesn’t mean less special. In fact, it often means more focus on the couple, more freedom, and more creativity. And here in Malta, with its stunning backdrops, golden light, and historic streets, micro weddings are not just a trend — they're becoming a lifestyle choice for modern couples.
Why Couples Are Choosing Micro Weddings
It’s not just about saving money (though that’s a bonus). More people are saying goodbye to the long guest lists filled with distant relatives or “obliged” invites, and instead are creating experiences for themselves — on their own terms.
As a photographer, I’ve been lucky to witness just how beautiful and personal these smaller celebrations can be.
Real Stories of Intimate Weddings in Malta
Olga & Jeremy — Punk Romance on the Streets of Valletta
Olga and Jeremy’s micro wedding was nothing short of iconic. We had a short and sweet photo session right after their registry office ceremony. Then, we wandered through the streets of Valletta, capturing their fashionable, punk-inspired style — effortless, edgy, and full of personality.
What I loved most? As soon as our shoot ended, they hopped on a motorbike and rode straight to the airport for their honeymoon. No receptions, no stress, no endless list of speeches — just them, celebrating love their way.
Maria & Thomas — Artistic Magic in the Heart of Malta
Maria and Thomas chose a different kind of magic. We met in Valletta for a 1-hour creative shoot surrounded by the city’s historic charm. Live music floated through the streets, lights shimmered as the sun set, and the night gave us a perfect canvas for moody, artistic photos.
They were joined only by their closest family—just parents and siblings. After the shoot, they enjoyed a quiet private dinner together. No pressure, no performance — just joy and connection.
