FAVORITE WEDDING TRENDS

no. 1 | INCLUDE YOUR GRANDPARENTS

Whether you swap out your flower girl for a flower nana, do an emotional first look with your grandparents or give your g-pa and g-ma the honor of signing your marriage certificate – making them a part of your wedding and including them in the process will make them feel as special as they are to you.

No. 2 | portraits with your pups

Your fur-babies might not be able to attend your reception but I understand how important they are to you, so whether you talk a friend with dropping off your pets for a quick portrait session or hire a pet-pro, the photos with your pups will likely be one of your favorites of the entire day.

Have you ever heard about doing a first look with your pup? Well, I hadn’t until Tzu + Drew asked me to capture their sweet pup’s Chauncey’s excitement upon seeing them on their wedding day.

If you have rowdy pups at home, that likely will cause more trouble than good, you can still have them be part of your wedding. Big head cutouts for your photo booth make for a fun prop!

No. 3 | Big head cutouts

Speaking of Big Head cutouts – bride and groom cutouts are a huge hit on the dance-floor and make for hilarious photos. It’s also a great way to include guests who won’t be able to attend in person.

No. 4 | Marquee letters

Marquee letters are a great way to upscale your wedding decor! Use them for formal portraits, on the dance floor or as a centerpiece at your head table. They are also perfect for thank-you-card photos after the wedding.

No. 5 | Audio guest book

Leaving a personalized recording of your guests is something you’ll want to listen to over and over again. Your messages might get crazier and louder the longer the night goes on, regardless, you will love having this lively reminder of all the friends and family who came to celebrate with you.

No. 6 | After Ceremony shots

Such a fun way to start your new chapter and get the party started! Also, super fun to include your parents.
