Tips for Flawless Detail Shots

To ensure your photographer captures everything beautifully, gather all these items in one place before the day begins. A small box or bag works perfectly. Share the list with your photographer in advance so they know what to expect. Lastly, consider providing clean surfaces, like a wooden tray or fabric swatches, for styling.

Detail photos are more than just pretty pictures; they’re keepsakes that preserve the thoughtful touches of your wedding day. By setting aside these items, you’ll help your photographer create timeless images you’ll cherish forever.
