G AT H E R the goods.

If possible, collect all of your details before I arrive so that I can begin quickly and have more time for some“ getting ready” shots of you and your girls!

EXTRA elements.

KEEP all three rings.

Sometimes, depending on the theme and“ look” of the wedding day, there may be some extra elements that you could include when you gather your details. For eample, if you’ re having a country themed wedding, you could include a piece of burlap or lace. If you’ re having a rustic themed wedding that includes some wooden elements, maybe save a small piece of wood for me to use when I’ m shooting your rings and jewerly. This REALLY makes for beautiful, consistent album spreads!
The most common detail missing when I arrive are the rings! Moms, officiants and planners will tell you to hand over your wedding band to the best man before the day begins. However, it’ s actually better to hand it over during the bridal party portraits so that I can shoot some great ring shots in the AM! If you forget, no worries, I can always shoot the ring shot at the reception if there is extra time!

BRING the bouquet.

Don’ t forget the Bouquet! Have the bouquets and bouts delivered to the bride’ s getting ready location( or wherever I’ ll be taking detail photographs). No worries, if it’ s hot, we’ ll be sure to keep it in water as much as possible before the ceremony!
