A special celebration to remember for a lifetime takes a lot of thought and energy to pull off. After spending so much time to craft the smallest wedding details, it can be hard to enjoy them to the fullest when you're too busy on the big day itself.
So after having your trusty wedding photographer capture memorable bride moments and romantic couple photos, why don't you get your wedding details photographed as well? Details shots are not only wonderful to look at, they will also convey the atmosphere of your special day to your wedding album.
Scroll right down to see all the wedding details that deserve a spot in your wedding album.
Wedding stationery

The invitation suite reflects the couple's wish for a guest to attend their wedding, making it a must to be included in your wedding album. Invitations also encapsulate the whole celebration's theme, like these passport-like invitations for a travel-themed wedding. Don't forget to bring one copy of the invitation to take photos of on your wedding day.
Welcome bags

For destination weddings, some couples make the effort to prepare welcome bags for their guests. A welcome bag usually consists of the wedding rundown, local snacks, drinks, and other travel essentials. They're very well-prepared and getting these lovely items photographed is a wonderful idea.
Wedding rings

Another idea, focus on the writings engraved inside the ring. It adds a sentimental value while giving the photo an artistic quality.
Boutonnieres

Boutonnieres for the groom and other male members of the bridal party needs to be photographed well. You can get them styled properly with calligraphy name tags, or simply lay them on a flat white surface for a simpler, cleaner look.
Shoes

Among all the other essentials, the groom's shoes also take a big part in determining his look. So be sure to get photos of the shoes, especially when the bottom is engraved with a cute message like this!

As for the bride, photos of her heels on the wedding day can be mixed and matched with plenty of other elements. The dress, the rings, you name it. But when you have killer heels there's absolutely nothing wrong with letting them stand proud on their own.
The bridal ensemble

This one is a shot you can't miss. Have your photographer hang your dress somewhere with a pretty background and take photos of it. Don't leave out the flower girls' dresses too!

Next, include photos of the head accessories worn by yourself, your bridesmaids, and your flower girls. Lay them flat or hold them in your hand, the choice is yours.

And as traditional hair accessories hold deep cultural meanings, we think it is a great idea to spare a single frame to capture them all beautifully.

A photo of the veil attached to the bride is a common sight in wedding albums. Let your veil have a little spotlight and hang it solo. Zoom in to capture all the delicate details.

A shot of the bride's flower bouquet mustn't be missed. Aside from putting it on the ground, there are other ways to spice up the wedding bouquet picture. For instance, propping it with the wedding dress or having it held by the bride are some of the options you can consider. Don't forget to also get some close-ups of the beautiful blooms.
Bridesmaid dresses
Photography: Nomina Photography
Don't let the bride's dress alone get all the attention, let the bridesmaid dresses shine as well. Take some notes from this bride, who personally designed all her bridesmaids' dresses according to their personalities.

If all the dresses are nearly identical, choose a unique background to make them stand out.

The ceremony area

Ceremonial arches are especially irresistible. Make sure your photographer gets a proper shot of it. Also, don't forget the wedding program on the chairs, the aisle, as well as the pews.
Lounge

In between the ceremony and reception, there is usually the cocktail hour during which some drinks and finger food are served. Why don't you put up some lounges at a few corners of the venue for guests to relax on before the reception?
Escort card display

Up next is the escort card display. There has been an immense amount of creativity in creating escort card displays as well as place cards lately. Either they're natural or modern in style, be sure to get a shot of them.
Reception Décor
