Some of our favorite photos from weddings are the wedding detail photos. We love seeing all the things that mean the most to our couples in one place. These shots tell the story of who the couple is and showcase their personalities. Here are 15 items to pack for your wedding detail photos.
Attire and Accessories
- Dress – Have your dress ready to photograph before you put it on.
- Jewelry – The rings aren’t the only thing you’re wearing on your wedding day. This could include cuff links, necklaces, earrings, etc.
- Perfume – Having a special wedding day perfume is something we recommend because smell is a powerful thing. Smelling that perfume later on will take you back to your special day.
- Rings – Think about bringing a ring box to place the rings in for photographs.
- Veil – Your photographer can use this in various ways in the detail shots.
- Shoes – If you have a pair of shoes for the ceremony and one for the reception, make sure you bring both.
- Accessories – Think about what other items you’re wearing – tie, watches, hair clips, etc.
Stationery
- Save the Date – The Save the Date often gets forgotten, so we love seeing it with the invitation suite.
- Full Invitation Suite – For the envelope, you can bring an addressed one that hasn’t been sent or a blank one.
- Day of Stationery and Paper Goods – Think menu, programs, cocktail napkins, etc.
- Vows & Vow Books – If you have written vows or vow books, these are a sweet detail to include.
Additional Wedding Details
- Couples Letters or Gifts – Are you and your fiance exchanging gifts or letters?
- Custom Favors – If you’re giving guests custom favors, it’s always nice to have photos of the favors before they’re handed out
- Wedding Party Gifts – Are you giving your wedding party gifts?
- Flowers – This could be your bouquet and/or some styling flowers provided by your florist. You can always ask for single blooms for styling.
- Bonus – styling accessories! This could be silk ribbons, vintage stamps, or any other accessories that would go with your details. These items can add depth, texture, or color to photos when needed.
