It’s sooo fun to document the small things that make your day unique and personal to you. From every blossom in your bouquet, to the lipstick color that compliments your eyes perfectly, the details of your wedding day all help tell your special love story!!

How to Pack for Your Wedding Detail Shots


About a month before your wedding, make a wedding details checklist of everything you think should be included in your wedding detail pics. The week before your wedding, put everything in a shoebox or small container!


Most of the details should fit in a small box, but if there’s anything that doesn’t (your veil, shoes, bouquet, etc.) just make sure it’s in close proximity to the rest of the stuff. It’s super helpful to give your wedding details checklist to your wedding planner or maid of honor, along with that box! Then they can hand everything off to me when I arrive at the getting ready location. The less you have to think about on the day of your wedding, the better, am I right??


BONUS TIP: Your rings are alwaysss gonna be in your wedding detail shots. Make sure your maid of honor knows to get your rings back to the best man before the ceremony!

I love how the Osborns wanted to include this book in their wedding detail pics. This was a nod to their classic, sophisticated, & elegant wedding aesthetic! It also helped tell part of their unique love story - I’m always down for any chance to make your wedding personal + intentional.


The intentionality behind their details is also just gorgeous - the pearls on Madalyn’s shoes AND in her jewelry are *chefs kiss*

What I Bring for Detail Shots


I bring these just to add a little spice to the photos! Every wedding day I bring a small box with some ribbon, stamps, ring boxes, and a couple ring dishes. I use these if I think your detail shots could benefit from some extra textures and layers.


The pics throughout this blog are from the Osborn wedding, which was BEAUTIFUL! These two are just the sweetest and their wedding was super unique. Congrats to Madalyn and Anthony Osborn!! Enjoy more pics from their wedding here:
