Intimate Wedding at The George in Rye | Autumn Micro Celebration

An intimate wedding at The George in Rye is always something special — and this October celebration was no exception. With just ten guests, it was proof that small weddings can feel every bit as meaningful, emotional, and full of joy as any grand event. Set against the charm of The George’s historic townhouse, every moment felt personal, relaxed, and effortlessly beautiful.

A Micro Wedding Full of Character

Rye has a magic all of its own — cobbled streets, soft autumn light, and that timeless mix of coastal calm and old-world style. The George was the perfect setting for a day that was all about connection. From a quiet morning getting ready upstairs to the laughter that echoed through the ballroom, everything felt intimate and unhurried.

Documentary Photography for Small Weddings

When there are only ten guests, every photo matters. My approach is documentary and unobtrusive — capturing the small details and big emotions without staging or interference. From the couple’s quiet glances to confetti caught mid-air, these are the kind of images that make small weddings unforgettable.

Why The George in Rye Is Perfect for Intimate Weddings

The George in Rye is one of my favourite venues to photograph, not just for its beautiful interiors but for how it welcomes every couple. Whether it’s a ten-person micro wedding or a full weekend celebration, it always feels like home — stylish but never stuffy, warm and full of heart.
