Saideh and Dominick’s 15-person wedding took place in the hills of Malibu with no planner, minimal vendors, and help from close friends and family. They leaned on True Colors Creative not only for photography, but also for general guidance throughout the planning process—asking questions about structure, timeline, and how to make everything run smoothly. This blog breaks down what a small wedding in Malibu can actually look like: from setup and logistics to photography tips and vendor planning. It’s a real-world example of how micro weddings work when the couple takes a DIY approach with the right support.

There is something that no grand ballroom or five-star resort can replicate — the feeling of walking into someone’s home on their wedding day and being completely wrapped in love. That’s exactly what happened the moment our team walked through Caitlin and Brenna’s front door.
