So for your details, photos or pictures of your stuff, I would like for you to assemble everything that you put time or money or energy into, especially items that you’re going to wear on your person. So this is your dress, your shoes, your veil, your hairpiece, any accessories you’re going to wear, your robe, your slippers, all three rings, grooms and the brides, engagement and wedding band. Two copies of your invitation, especially if it is if any of the parts of it are printed on both sides, I need two copies so I can get one of each of those sides. Any styling blooms, if you have requested those from your florist or your florist has offered those, all of that stuff, if that can be ready first thing in the morning. When I show up, the first thing I want to do is say hi and let everyone get used to me while I’m not taking photos of their faces without makeup on. So I’m going to start with the stuff and don’t worry about where it is or what it looks like, because I’m going to style it for you. But if you can make me a pile so I know all of the things that I’m working with, and I don’t have someone come up to me at 04:00 p.m. And say, oh, here’s the invitation, because then the light’s about to be gone and I may not have time to get those important details.

If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. My name is Kelsey. I’m the owner and principal photographer of Captured by Kelsey, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As far as your detail photos go, those beautiful flat lays that you see all over Instagram moments of you putting, like, heirloom jewelry on or anything like that if it’s important to you, it’s important to me. Have those things put together and set aside before I arrive. That way. Typically, what will happen is as soon as I get there, I will start with all of those important to you details and make sure that I get those captured and then move into kind of some candid getting ready moments before we get you into your dress and for the grooms, before you get into your suit. So things like maybe you have some heirloom cufflinks that were passed down from your grandpa or something, or you’re wearing grandmother’s pearls, or you really put a lot of thought into your invitation suite, and you just really want to make sure that it’s captured professionally and beautifully. Any of those things your shoes, your dress, your jewelry. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. Let’s get.
