Wedding Day Details
Your wedding day is filled with meaningful details, and your photographer wants to capture every little piece that makes your day special. One of the best ways to ensure these elements are photographed beautifully is by preparing a details box. This allows your photographer to grab everything they need and get started right away. Here’s what to include:
1. Wedding Rings & Ring Box
Your wedding rings are the ultimate symbol of your love and commitment. Include all three rings—engagement ring, wedding band, and partner’s band—in a stylish ring box or dish for a beautiful presentation.
2. Invitation Suite
Your wedding invitations set the tone for your big day, making them an essential detail to capture. Include the full suite—invite, RSVP card, envelopes, and any other stationery like menus or programs.
3. Jewelry & Accessories
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks, watches—anything you or your partner will wear should be included. These little touches complete your wedding look and deserve to be documented.
4. Perfume or Cologne
Your signature scent is a personal detail that ties into your wedding memories. A beautiful bottle of perfume or cologne adds elegance to your detail shots.
5. Vow Books
If you’ve written personal vows, include your vow books. These heartfelt words are one of the most sentimental parts of your wedding and deserve to be remembered.
6. Shoes & Garter
Your wedding shoes and garter (if you’re wearing one) add personality to your wedding details. Whether they’re classic, fun, or sentimental, they’re worth capturing.
7. Something Old, New, Borrowed, & Blue
Many couples follow this tradition, so if you have items that fit the category, include them in your details box. These items often hold sentimental value and make for meaningful photos.
8. Special Fabric or Keepsakes
If you have a family handkerchief, piece of lace from a loved one’s wedding dress, or another sentimental fabric, add it to your box. These make gorgeous backgrounds for ring shots and other details.
9. Loose Florals
Ask your florist for a few extra flowers or greenery to include in your detail shots. These add a soft, romantic touch to your photos and tie them into the overall wedding aesthetic.
10. Personalized Extras
Monogrammed items, handwritten notes, or any other unique details that matter to you should be included. The more personal, the better!
