Scrolling through Pinterest and see all those drool-worthy ring and invitation flatlays that you want included in your own wedding gallery?  It’s totally achievable to get amazing wedding detail photos, and you don’t have to do anything super amazing or crazy to get it done!!!

Hey there! If you clicked on this post, you are most likely someone in the midst of planning your wedding (CONGRATS) or a photographer trying to put together the most IDEAL timeline for photos - but you have no idea where to begin!

Veil or no veil?

The age old question in this new decade, where we are breaking away from old traditions and incorporating more of OURSELVES into our wedding day.  About 50% of the brides I photograph wear veils on their wedding day - so there is a big move into the no veil movement!

YOU’RE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on such an amazing time in your life!  I’m sure you are feeling all of the feelings in the world - excitement, nervousness, joy, confusion, anticipation, and just plain overwhelmed.

After the shock goes away, you might be sitting back and wondering, what in the world do I do now?

NEVER PRINT YOUR PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PHOTOS AT WALGREENS.  NEVER!!!

I can’t even tell you the number of times I internally cringe when someone tells me they are going to print their PROFESSIONAL photos at WALGREENS.

I get it people.  I’m about as cheap as they get, so I understand wanting to print your photos at Walgreens.  I even tried this at the beginning of my business, but I quickly learned it wasn’t the best option.

I used to think that the goal in marriage was to do everything perfectly, and together.

Hank and I, in our first few months of marriage, seemed to almost “walk around” in each other in an attempt to make sure everything went perfectly - and was always fun!  We would try to occupy ourselves each evening with new activities (avoiding the TV because we thought it was bad), tried shouldering the chores for each other in an attempt to “serve” each other, and didn’t really talk about how those things were making us feel.

And guess what happened?
