Getting Ready: Let the Magic Unfold

The “getting ready” moments are where the excitement truly begins! It’s the start of your wedding day adventure, filled with happy nerves, laughter, and those unforgettable moments shared with your closest friends and family. To make the most of it, pick a space that’s bathed in natural light—this will give your photos that airy, dreamy vibe. And here’s a pro tip: Keep the room neat and tidy (or create a designated “mess zone”) so that your photos stay beautifully clutter-free.

Before you slip into your wedding dress, have all your details ready to go for us to photograph—think dress, shoes, rings, invites, and anything else that’s special to you. The more organized, the better!

When it comes to your flatlay, include whatever speaks to you and your story. But if you're looking for some inspiration, here are a few suggestions to get you started:

Her details

  • The dress (of course!)

  • Perfume

  • Earrings

  • Shoes

  • Bouquet

  • Rings

  • Invitations (several and envelopes)

His details

  • Cologne

  • Tie or bowtie

  • Cufflinks

  • Socks

  • Shoes

  • Rings

Other fun things to consider? A couple of copies of your wedding stationery and invites—they always add a classic, timeless touch. A ring box is a must-have, as well as any family heirlooms or sentimental items you can’t imagine saying “I do” without!

Create a Details Box

A handy tip: Make a "Details Box" and fill it with all the meaningful items you want to include in your flatlay. This will save you time and stress on the big day, and you’ll have everything in one spot to hand over when the time comes. No more scrambling around for those precious pieces at the last minute!

Pick a box (shoebox is perfect!) that feels right for you, and stash in it everything from your perfume and jewelry to your invites (at least 2), rings, and any special trinkets. This way, when we’re ready to shoot those detail shots, everything’s prepped and ready to go—and your photos will be even more seamless and stunning!

And don’t forget—this moment is all yours! So take a deep breath, relax, and soak in the magic. This is where the journey truly begins!
