1. Decorated Reception Space Before Anyone Walks In
We have recently started encouraging brides to do this and they LOVE IT.
Think about it…you spent so much time picking out your colors, florals, decor pieces, and every tiny detail to make your reception the party that’s perfectly you, but then you only see it full of people and food!
Capture the details of the day you put so much effort into planning so you have a chance to see how it all came together before the crowd comes in.
P.S. We also love to see couples’ reactions to seeing their reception space before it’s filled with people! Before all the hustle and bustle, do a reception reveal with your photographer so you have the space to take it all in and see your dreams come to life.

3. Styled Statement Piece
What’s that one place where people will pose for a photo and post with your wedding hashtag?
Whether it’s an arch covered in florals or a statement couch, make sure to get you and your boo in this vignette on the professional camera.
think peacock chair, sofa, or architectural piece styled with florals to create that one spot that people always remember.

4. The First Kiss From The OTHER Side
The quintessential wedding photo! But what if you could see it another way?
We LOVE this new trend of capturing the first kiss from both angles of the ceremony. Have one photographer get the classic down-the-aisle shot, then have a second shooter get a shot from behind the altar with your guests in the background.
This is a great way to remember how you saw your wedding from your perspective with your friends and family smiling up at you with joy!

5. Bride & Groom At The Sweetheart Table During Key Moments
Don’t miss those most special moments 🥺
Have your photographer capture the bride and groom’s laughing and tear-filled reactions at the sweetheart table. Think toasts, father-daughter dance, mother-son dance, and all the key reception moments.
You won’t want to forget how your sister spilling all your childhood secrets in the microphone made you feel… ;)
