The Details Matter
We photographers want to see all of the little things that matter to you and we want to document them. Every single thing at your wedding was hand chosen by you – so it matters!
What to Bring
- Invitation suite (with envelopes)
- All rings
- Jewelry
- Shoes
- Perfume/Cologne
- Bowties/Ties
- Socks
- Any sentimental items
- Loose blooms (from the florist)
How to Prepare
You will want to have these items prepared beforehand. First off, you will need to request loose blooms from your florist.
On the wedding day, I recommend putting all of these items in a box (or boxes) or bag and labeling it “Photographer.” Have all of these items in an easy to access place in your getting ready location with the loose blooms provided by the florist. Then put one of your bridesmaids in charge of the box/bag so that you don’t have to worry about it on the wedding day.
If you want to be extra organized, you can create an inventory list of all the items that should be in that box – if it sentimental, explain why it is. That way when the photographer is given your items by your bridesmaid, they will know exactly what they are working with and why it’s important without having to interrupt your day.
Is Less More?
While I will never want to diminish your choices, you do need to make some choices.
Your wedding day is tightly packed and on a literal schedule. So having your details chosen and ready to go is going to save your photographer (and you) time on your big day. It will alleviate stress for everyone if you’re not having to run around and look for everything while you should be relaxing in the make-up chair with a glass of champagne (or drink of choice).
