Wedding Packing List: His & Hers

Items to Pack for Your Wedding Day Detail Photos

Some of our favorite wedding day pictures from our couples are their day of details that the photographer captures! These elements are so personal and its a true replresentation of their style and personalities. To make sure our couples remember the items they need to bring we create a photography checklist for day of items.

We normally tell them to pack all the necessary items in a box so that it is organized and we can make sure to deliver everything the photographer needs.

Most of these items will (or should) be present already, but we have added a few more details. Something we also always recommend is having your planner or chat share your design board and color palette with your photographer so that they can plan their style matts and other details accordingly.

Hers

Dress and veil
Invitation suite (2 copies of the full suite)
Shoes
Jewelry
Perfume
Something old, new, borrowed, blue
ALL 3 rings – if all 3 are with you, your photo team will be able to photograph the full set. The planner will be able to give them to whoever will be holding them afterward.
Bouquet and/or loose florals – many florists are great about including a few loose flowers/greenery for styled detail photos. Don’t assume that they will automatically do this if you don’t ask, though. It’s also important to coordinate that these florals arrive by the designated time that these detail photos will happen.

The laid-back setting encourages mingling, laughter, and heartfelt conversations, allowing the couple and their loved ones to savor the moment and create cherished memories.
