Ahhhh everyone’s favorite – detail photos! A “flat lay” is a detailed lay out filled with all of your special wedding day details….the little things, the something old, new, borrowed, & blue. Your shoes, your jewelry. Everything! We even photograph all of the Groom’s details too.
Below you will find everything that we recommend having for your detail photos. While we all have some props to add in like dishes, ring boxes, & ribbon, we will gladly use anything that you provide us with as well! Typically, it’s best to keep everything in a box so that once we arrive onsite we can just grab the box and dive right in! I also always recommend having a Bride box and a Groom box. Opening & unwrapping things like jewelry, perfume/cologne boxes, etc. is a huge help also.
Bride Details:
- ALL of the rings
- Earrings
- Bracelets
- Necklaces
- Vow Book
- Veil
- Shoes
- Anything custom
- Perfume
- Shoes
- Hair Pieces
- Invitations (two FULL invite suites please!)
- Bouquet
- EXTRA flowers from your florist! (this one is a HUGE game changer)
Groom Details:
- Rings
- Tie
- Cufflinks
- Vow Book
- Cologne
- Watch
- Boutonniere
- Tie Clip
- Shoes
- Anything Custom
Purchasing props to include like ring boxes, ring dishes, ribbons, etc. is never required, but it can add a great personal touch! Some custom props that people like to include are custom ring boxes, ribbon to fit their color palette, and dishes to match the theme. (vintage chic, coastal, or modern)
Some amazing detail photo examples are below!

I could not be more in love with Long Beach Island. All my life I grew up just minutes away from the island. I really took it for granted and didn’t start truly embracing everything it had to offer until I became a photographer. The biggest part of our job, is getting to capture your love story. — But getting to capture an LBI love story is even better! It hits home, and is just so fun.
Kyra & Krystian opened up wedding season for Parkers Garage and it was one hell of a party! Think blue hydrangeas, alternating blue bridesmaids dresses, a Bayfront ceremony with an epic sunset…It was perfection to say the least. Kyra & Krystian are lucky enough to reside on LBI, in Beach Haven. (I mean how lucky?! Not having to sit in bridge traffic to get to the beach…one can dream!) They were everything of the sort. I wish we could photograph their wedding over & over again! We even convinced Fantasy Island to let us in for some fun photos! It was incredible!
