Brides spend countless hours preparing all of the smallest details for the wedding day. And as photographers, the more special details we have to photograph the better.

Besides images of our beautiful brides and grooms and their family and friends, our albums are full of visual details as they help tell the complete story of the day. It is all of these special touches that make a wedding unique and we love it when our couples go the extra mile to include heirloom pieces, romantic love letters and antique jewellery. It also extends to the reception where we see old family photo frames, gorgeous florals and spectacular favours.

Here are some great tips for ensuring that every minute detail is captured on your special day:

  • Clean mirrored and window surfaces so we can photograph using reflections.
  • Have all of your jewellery cleaned and find any original packaging to show the branding and ring box.

  • Ensure you have allowed enough time to get ready as well as have the details photographed before you are dressed and ready to walk out the door.

  • Have your guests enter the reception after it has been photographed – so you can remember it in all it’s grandeur!
