So, what details are best?

We always recommend bring an extra invitation suite so we can style and photograph it. One of the perks of hiring a photographer who is a true professional, is that we come prepared with tools and a styling kit!

We also love taking photos of things you’ll be wearing! Shoes, veil, jewelry, rings, cufflinks, watch, whatever! But remember, anything special to you, is going to make the most meaningful, and gorgeous photos. As you can see below, we’ve had a bride bring their grandmother’s brooches and gloves to honor her!

A few of our favorites:
Ring Box
Custom Champagne Glasses
Silk Ribbon
Shop Moss Jewelry
Vow Books

Did you know that your memories are directly linked to specific scents?! How cool! That means a certain smell can actually remind you of a time locked away in your mind!! We love telling our couples this, and encourage them to get a new perfume or cologne that they love for their big day! This way, when you smell that little bottle, you are taken back to the biggest moment of your life!
