Your wedding story lives in the big moments and tiny details. The kiss at the altar. Your grandma’s pearl earrings. The cologne your partner wore on your first date.

I’m a Louisiana wedding photographer who captures both. Great detail photos don’t happen by accident though. They need prep work.

When you have everything ready, we capture those sweet moments without rushing around.

What Are Wedding Day Details?

Detail photos are close-ups of your wedding items. Rings, shoes, invitations, and personal touches.

These photos fill in your story between big moments. Your kids will flip through your album someday and see the watch you wore.

The Wedding Detail Box

Get a pretty box or basket. Put all your wedding details inside it. Hand this to your photographer when they arrive.

No hunting for earrings. No scrambling for cufflinks. Pack it the night before your wedding.

• Wedding dress and veil

Photographer’s Tips

Get extra flowers. Magnolia branches or Louisiana iris work beautifully if they’re in season.

Clean your rings the night before. They’ll sparkle in photos.

Lay everything out before bed. You’ll spot anything missing while there’s time to fix it.

Bonus Items That Add Personality

• Champagne bottle and glasses
• Something old, new, borrowed, blue items
• Second line handkerchiefs (for New Orleans style celebrations)
• Family recipes in grandma’s handwriting
• Mardi Gras beads passed down through generations

These items make your detail photos feel like you and your Louisiana roots.
