IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
When preparing for your wedding day, it’s important to consider the details that will be captured by your photographer. To ensure your photographer can beautifully showcase your ring, shoes, and other important items, it’s helpful to have these elements ready on the day of the event. I ask my couple to be sure to put the items they would like photographed collected in a box for me before I arrive. The detail shots are the first things I shoot on a wedding day. Here are some items you should consider bringing to assist your photographer in capturing stunning detail shots, though not all items will be relevant to each person.
Wedding Rings: Both the bride’s and groom’s wedding bands are essential for detail shots. Keep them in a safe place prior to the ceremony, such as in the ring box.
Bride’s Shoes: The bride’s shoes are an important detail to capture. Having them clean and available for the photographer will ensure they are included in the photos.
Groom’s Accessories: The groom’s watch, cufflinks, tie, or any other accessories he plans to wear should be ready for photography.
Invitation Suite: Bringing a full set of your wedding invitations, including the save-the-dates and envelopes, can add an elegant touch to your detail shots.
Bridal Jewelry: Any jewelry the bride plans to wear, such as earrings, necklace, or bracelet, should be set aside for the photographer.
Family Heirlooms or Sentimental Items: If there are any special items with sentimental value that you wish to include in your photos, have them available for the photographer to capture.
Bouquets and Boutonnieres: Having the bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere ready for detail shots can add a pop of color and elegance to your wedding album. I also suggest asking the florist ahead of time to drop off any leftover cuttings from the wedding florals.
By preparing these items in advance and having them easily accessible on your wedding day, you can help your photographer create beautiful and meaningful detail shots that truly capture the essence of your special day.
