How to Get the Best Wedding Detail Photos: A Chicago Wedding Guide

Wow, you have spent such a craaaazy amount of time planning your best day ever, + every little detail of that matters!!! Detail photos are something that I believe really ties a wedding gallery together + makes it flow in a way where no memory was forgotten. Your grandma’s necklace?? The patch of your mom’s wedding dress lace sewn into your dress? Please please communicate all these special things to your photographer, because they matter!!

Okay let’s be honest, sometimes it’s simply about aesthetics too, right? Here are some key things that I recommend you add to your details that will enhance your wedding photos:

  1. Your something old, new, borrowed, + blue.

  2. ALL the rings (both yours + your partners!!) + Ring boxes. Pro tip - amazon sells beautiful velvet ring boxes for cheap + you can select one that matches your wedding color scheme! Other places online you can have them custom made. :-)

  3. Your shoes (all pairs, if you are going to be changing into a fun reception pair!)

  4. Ribbon / lace that match your wedding color scheme.

  5. Your Save The Dates + invitations!! All stationary should be included.

  6. All of your jewelry!!! Anything you are wearing on your wedding day should be added.

  7. Perfume - this is such a chic a touch of elegance + beauty + honestly I just stinkin’ love how it looks.

  8. Extra flower clippings from your florist!! This is a mega pro tip. Fresh blooms make everything better + also tie in all of your colors + other elements.
