The Dress
Your wedding dress is undoubtedly one of the most important details of your day. Make sure to have your photographer capture shots of your dress hanging up before you put it on, as well as close-up shots of the intricate details such as lace, beading, and embroidery.
The Shoes
Whether you’re wearing heels, flats, or something in between, your wedding shoes are another important detail to capture. You can include individual shots of the shoes, the bride putting them on, and shots of them being worn in action. Don’t forget about the groom’s shoes too!
