MEET Holly & Grant

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.

Clayton and Janae chose Cowans Gap for their engagement session, and it was a perfect choice for this beautiful fall session! We had heard of this incredible overlook, and I knew it would be gorgeous at sunset! These two are incredibly adventurous; Clayton proposed in Grant Teton NP, so I had to pick somewhere just […]

This trip had been a trip in the making for YEARS. Seriously. Since 2020, we’ve been dreaming of traversing the rugged and beautiful landscape of Iceland. We planned this trip three times – once in 2020, then again for 2023, and then again for 2024 – the third time was the charm, and we finally […]
