Let’s talk detail photos. Something I hear so often is, “why are detail photos even part of the day? Are they really that important?” I’m here to tell you, yes, yes they are! Your day goes by too fast for you to remember every little moment and detail photos keep those memories alive forever.
When thinking about your wedding day, you picked out all of these little, intricate elements that are either personal items that you wanted included in your big day, or specific pieces that you picked out because you love them! These are also the things that could potentially get overlooked or forgotten after the hustle and bustle of your big day. This is why detail photos are so important. They highlight those special pieces and capture them so you will never forget the smallest moments of your big day.
You might be wondering, “what do I need to include in my detail photos?” Well I’m glad that you asked. What’s included in detail shots will change from couple to couple, but there are some basics that everyone should have:
- Wedding invitation suite
- Earrings
- Hairpiece/Veil
- Shoes
- Rings
- Perfume
- Garder
- Family Heirlooms
- Gift to/from Bride + Groom
- Letters
- Bouquet
- Watch
- Tie/clip
- Cuff Links
- Boutonnière
- Extra florals
Having these items together and ready for your photographer the day of will help you both tremendously! It will be one less thing you have to worry about while you’re getting ready and allow the day to go that much more smooth! If you have questions, when in doubt, ask your photographer! They will help you in any and every way you need!
