All In The Details
It all begins with the DETAILS! In some ways the details set the look for the whole wedding and gives way to the style of the day! For my brides out there, this blog is a guide for what you should expect from your detail photos as well as some tips on what you should include for your day. From everything to your rings to the invitations, to the dress.. they all encompass your big day and deserve some spotlight!
Gather The Goods
First things first, I want to list out a lot common details I shoot. This will give you a good idea of what details you may want to include on your wedding day! Make sure you have all of these items in one spot wherever you are getting ready so I can get right to work creating beautiful details for you. Here’s a short list:
The dress
The Rings (All Three Of Them)
Jewelry
Shoes
Perfume
Veil/ Hair Pieces
Invitations
Bouquet
Gifts
Sentimental Items
The invitations give a great focus point for your detail photos!
And showing off your colors will truly make your details your own!
Keep All Three Rings
The most common detail missing when I arrive are the rings! So make sure you have all of them with you when you’re getting ready. Don’t worry we will get the groom’s ring back to him :) If you do forget, no worries, we can always get a ring shot at the reception if there’s extra time!
Don’t Forget The Bouquet
Have the bouquet delivered to the bride before first looks so we can have them for the bridal portraits. Don’t worry we will make sure to keep them in water if it’s a hot day so they still look great for the ceremony!
Gifts Make For Fun Pics!
Whether they’re gifts for the bride/groom or for groomsmen/bridesmaids, they make for a great personal touch for your detail shots! If you do want photos of gifts for your wedding party, just make sure everyone has them on hand at the beginning of the day!
Dress shots always make great details!
Clean The Ring
For your engagement session as well as wedding day, make sure you get your ring cleaned ahead of time. That it looks breathtaking when I get those up close ring shots!
Leave the Reception Details To Me
Your reception details should be all taken care of for you, so leave all of that to me! Typically I’ll get those photos during cocktail hour or before entrances. So relax, I got this :)
