It's the small things that matter

The most enjoyable parts of photographing weddings often include spending time with the bride and groom collecting the small details that mean so much to them personally. The family traditions and offbeat little touches that the couple has created are a unique expression of the incredible journey they are beginning. Delaina is our macro shooting expert, and her original perspective and eye for detail is incredible.

If you're planning a wedding, think about the thought you put into on the jewelry, shoes, table settings and all the other small details. If they're important to you, make sure you choose a photographer who can give them the same amount of attention and focus.

And, with no futher ado, here's Delaina!

One of my favorite aspects of wedding shooting is catching all the small details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Everyone will see how beautiful the bride looks in her dress, but will they notice the special jewels and shoes she carefully selected to complete her outfit? At this wedding the bride made her own fascinator, all the bridesmaid's necklaces and the groomsmen's boutonnieres.



The groom made the cocktail table decorations. He chose records and vintage beer glasses to reflect his love of music and retro swagger.



The tradition in this bride's Irish family is; "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and an Irish penny for her shoe.



The weddings rings are significant and will be with the couple forever, it's nice to photograph them before they are on the hands as well as after. Capturing all the small but momentous details is important.



In this wedding, the couple carefully collected wine corks and thoughtfully created seating cards for their guests. It is essential that these personal touches are remembered. And it's my pleasure to see that they are.
