Addison & Hunter's Wedding at Barn Thirty-Eight
These two know how to throw a party! I was laughing and smiling the entire day from behind the camera, jamming out while getting ready, bouquets getting thrown in the air during bridal party photos, kissing and cuddles from Hunter and Addison, and such a beautiful day for a wedding! So many special moments, their preview had me smiling while editing remembering back to their wedding day.

Makayla & Joe's Wedding at The Country Club
I absolutely loved capturing Makayla & Joe’s wedding day at the Delaware Country Club this September. They were the coolest and laid back couple ever. Their first look was stinking adorable, their ceremony was held during a golf tournament and the two of them could not have cared less who was around them, Makayla & her dad’s father daughter dance had everyone smiling and cheering. Makayla & Joe are made for one another and I loved being able to capture their love for one another and their family’s love for them!

What DETAILS To Have Ready For Your Photographer On Your Wedding Day
Are you a bride planning your wedding and trying to think ahead so you have little to no stress on your wedding day? This blog was written for you then! I talk about what to have prepared and laid out for your wedding photographer to make detail photos go smoothly and leave nothing out.
Are you a bride who wants to have everything planned out before your wedding day to help eliminate unnecessary stress and worries? Then this blog is written just for you!
I have photographed over 80 weddings over the past 4 years and I have worked with all different types of brides. Those who have had a packet typed out for me with detailed instructions and were so relaxed and prepared on their wedding day, some who winged it the day of and showed up late to their own wedding, and some who really just let me take full control. I LOVE THEM ALL! Though there is one thing that I have learned, when I arrive and can not find any of the details such as rings, jewelry, shoes, the dress, invites, perfume and earrings it takes away from time that I could be shooting and planning the detail shots and also seems to be stressful to the bride when they are running around trying to collect everything for me.
When I have arrived and everything was laid out, I got to dive right in and start planning the detail shots and dress photos without having to rush or bug the bride. If you are a bride, your photographer will thank you so much if you have everything laid out together on a table or in a box near the dress.
Now what are some items that you could think about including and having prepared?
His & Her wedding bands and the bride’s engagement ring ( I bring my own white velvet ring boxes or I can use personalized ones you have)
The wedding dress
If you have a personalized hanger or a nice wooden/velvet one
Invites if you want to include them (it’s a great way to include the date, location, and your names into your wedding photos effortlessly)
Earrings
Necklace
Bracelets
Bouquet
Shoes
Veil
Any sentimental items (lockets, something borrowed, something blue, something old)
Garter
Vows (always a personal touch)
Hair Clips
Perfume ( I have used the same type of perfume since I was in high school, so it is like a piece of me, so I would include it)
Any ribbons, accessories, flowers, or personal items that scream you!
Now, don’t feel like you have to include all of these! These are just suggestions that I have photographed in the past. I always tell my brides to wait to get in their dress until I have gotten photos of it hanging with the shoes and veil if there is one. I love capturing the bride getting in to their dress with the help of their mom or maid of honor. Waiting to put on your earrings, lipstick, bracelet, necklace, shoes, and veil are also a great idea until after you are in your dress. The photos of mom or grandma helping you get ready are priceless!
