This intimate Airbnb wedding in Fayetteville, Arkansas was so relaxing, laid back, and overall the perfect day for Xynaya and Zachary! Xynaya reached out to me wanting to plan a small intimate elopement to capture the special moments of getting married. I was over the moon, intimate elopements and weddings are my favorite! The day was filled with so much love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. I was honored to capture and be a part of their special day.

Then an intimate Airbnb wedding IS for you! Need a little more convincing? Let Xynaya and Zachary convince you with their love story and perfect intimate Airbnb wedding day.
Xynaya and Zachary's Love Story
Xynaya and Zachary met 8 years ago in high school, they were the only two people left without lab partners in AP Chemistry, so they had no choice but to pair up. Xynaya says looking back, she's not complaining! This sounds like something straight out of a movie. You can see how in love they are! They love spending time outdoors, going to breweries, eating great food, and basking in each other.
When Zachary proposed, Xynaya came home from clinicals and he surprised her with an early birthday birthday gift with all of her favorite things AND he made a steak dinner! She went to take their pup Molly for a walk and when she came back in the house, Zachary was down on one knee. She said it was lowkey and romantic, exactly how she wanted it to be.
Their Perfect Intimate Airbnb Wedding
We met at their Airbnb while they got ready together (I love it when couples do this!) and then we walked to the creek for them to say their vows and become husband and wife. Even though they forgot their rings at the Airbnb when we started the ceremony, everything went perfectly! They just laughed about it and had the best day ever. We had so much fun just being in the moment and letting them gush over being married!
After the ceremony, we hit downtown for some pizza and beer and cut the cake on a picnic table! Capturing these little moments meant everything to Xynaya and Zachary, these are memories they want to remember for years and years to come. We finished off the night exploring the creek and running in the street in front of their Airbnb. It was perfectly them. Intimate and sweet.

Questions to Ask Yourself When Planning Your Intimate Airbnb Wedding
Where is the Airbnb located? It's important to find a location that is close to the locations you're wanting to explore! Whether you want to venture into the forest for more intimate photos or take a trip downtown to grab a pizza and beer, make sure your Airbnb is conveniently located to these areas!
Does the host allow gatherings? Make sure you read through all of the details listed about your Airbnb! For most couples, it is just their closest loved ones gathering for dinner and popping some champagne! Just make it clear to your host that you're going to have other people on the property and that this isn't a typical party! Clear communication with your host is a MUST!
What does the parking situation look like? This detail is crucial! You want to make sure to contact the host before booking to see what parking options are available! You don't want to arrive and only have 2-3 parking spots when you're planning to also have your loved ones join you!
What vendors does your host recommend? Some Airbnb hosts that host a lot of event have a list of vendors they have worked with in the past! It's always a great idea to ask the host if they have vendors they trust who specialize in Airbnb weddings!
