What is a wedding box?
A wedding box is something a bride will put together the night/day before her wedding to where everything the photographer (and herself) may need is in one spot. This box is mainly for the use of detail shots before the wedding. Keeping everything your photographer may need to photograph in one place will make sure that nothing gets lost and you don’t have to search through your bags for everything you want a photo of (and it also makes sure you don’t forget to get a photo of something). Anything can be added to this box, but here’s my list of essential items to keep in one place.
