What is a wedding box?
A wedding box is something you will put together the night/day before your wedding, where everything the photographer (and you) may need is in one spot. This box is mainly for the use of detail shots before the wedding, ensuring that every unique and personal touch of your special day is captured beautifully.
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 ensures you don’t forget to get a photo of something). This thoughtful preparation not only streamlines the photography process but also allows you to enjoy those precious moments without stress.
Anything can be added to this box, but here’s my list of essential items to keep in one place, including items like your wedding invitation, rings, bouquet, and any sentimental heirlooms that reflect your love story. By organizing these elements in advance, you create a seamless experience that highlights the beauty and significance of your wedding day.
