NOTE —

If your blog post's featured images are fairly low resolution, you may want to delete the top image canvas. Your blog will still look gorgeous, but the top banner section looks best when you upload an image that's 2500px on the long side. You can also use our fave TinyJpeg to make them small so your blog posts still load quickly!

How to get beautiful flat-lay and detail images in your wedding album

July 29, 2022

See all those beautiful published weddings in magazines and on Instagram? Most of those flat lays are created with a few important things!

First off, you want to have all your details ready for your wedding photographer on the morning of the wedding. Your details include:

  • Invitation suite
  • All 3 rings
  • Jewelry you’re wearing
  • Shoes (his and hers)
  • Perfume bottle
  • His watch
  • Boutonniere
  • Ring box
  • Veil
  • Pieces of sentimental value
  • Extra florals (ask your florist for these!)

Sometimes I’ll even suggest little things like a tray, wax seals, stamps, antique scissors, extra lace and ribbons from your wedding dress or bouquet, and anything extra that is special to you and your day. Sometimes I’ll even have people include champagne bottles! Flat lays are a fun way to encompass everything about your wedding day on a small scale.

BEHIND THE LENS

Meet
    Holly

Photographer, artist, mother, wife, author, inspired by nature, good light, and you.

I've been a photographer for over ten years and an equestrian for over eighteen. I feel most alive and creative when I’m surrounded by nature — sweeping landscapes, quiet beauty, and golden light. I cherish time with my family and the people I love most, and I hold the Sabbath close as a reminder that rest is as sacred and necessary as hard work. Above all, I believe life’s greatest gift is found in both loving deeply and being deeply loved in return.
