Details You Should Prepare For Your Wedding Photographer

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

and a sixpence in your shoe



We all know the saying. This wedding tradition is more than just some silly, outdated superstition. It is rooted in sentimental meaning and starting your marriage off on the right foot. Whether you include this tradition or not, you will surely have small details in your wedding day that are important to you, your fiancé, and your families.

These small details are easily missed or overlooked in your wedding photos. For example, your dress is so long you can't see the shoes you spent hours picking out or the photos aren't close enough to see the necklace you wore that has been worn by every woman in your family on their wedding days. That is why detail photos are so important. It may feel like a photo you are only taking for Instagram, or that you will never look at again, but years down the line you will want these photos to show your kids, or other loved ones, everything you included on your wedding day, and explain the meaning behind it.

It is best practice to have all details in a designated area (like a shoebox) when your photographer arrives. You will also want to have your attire, and wedding party attire, hung up ready for your photographer to begin detail photos immediately upon arriving without taking you away from getting ready with your loved ones.

Use the list below as inspiration for possible details to have prepared for your wedding photographer.
