Capturing Every Detail:
As wedding photographers, we understand the importance of capturing every detail of your special day. From the intricacies of the wedding dress to the sparkle of the rings, each element tells a part of your unique love story. To ensure that we can perfectly capture these moments, we rely on the collaboration of brides and wedding planners to provide certain items and coordinate details. Brides, we know you may be busy getting ready on the day of, so put it all in a special bag or box and hand it to us when we arrive. You can also assign a bridesmaid or wedding coordinator/planner to hand to us on the day of. We'll make sure it gets back to you before the ceremony starts.
Here's a comprehensive guide on what photographers need from you to capture stunning detail pictures:
1. Beautiful Hangers: Instead of plastic hangers, opt for elegant, personalized ones for hanging the wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. Handwritten hangers add a personal touch to the photos.
2. Vows and Letters: Provide copies of the vows or letters exchanged between the couple. These sentimental items add depth to the wedding story and create beautiful detail shots.
3. Printed Invitations: Although, most invitations are sent out virtual these days, plan to print a few as memories too. Supply printed copies of the wedding invitations and accompanying stationery like RSVP cards and envelopes. This helps in capturing the theme and aesthetic of the wedding right from the start.
4. Silk Ribbons and Floral Arrangements: Include silk ribbons in the wedding colors, which can be used to tie bouquets or adorn various items for detail shots. Coordinate with the florist to incorporate elements from floral arrangements into the photos. We love to see special heirlooms or in memory of photos pinned into your bouquet.
5. Heirlooms: If there are any family heirlooms or sentimental items being incorporated into the wedding, provide them for detail shots to add a sense of history and tradition.
6. Jewelry: Lay out all jewelry being worn on the wedding day, including engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. This allows us to capture the intricate details and sparkle of the pieces.
7. Special Accessories: Provide any special accessories such as veils, hairpieces, or shoes that are integral to the bride's ensemble for detail shots.
8. Bouquets and Boutonnieres: Have the florist deliver the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, and groomsmen boutonnieres early for us to capture before they're carried down the aisle.
9. Table Decor and Centerpieces: For reception detail shots, ensure we have access to table decor, centerpieces, place settings, and any other decorative elements that reflect the wedding theme.
10. Venue Details: Provide information about any unique or significant details at the wedding venue that we should capture, such as architectural features, signage, or decor elements.
By providing these items and coordinating with us, brides and wedding planners can ensure that every detail of the wedding is beautifully documented for lasting memories. Your collaboration allows us to create a stunning visual narrative of your special day that you'll cherish for years to come.
Remember, it's the little details that make your wedding uniquely yours, and we're here to capture each one with care and creativity. Let's work together to make your wedding album a true reflection of your love story.
