Here is why we love photographing invitation suites on the wedding day! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Some people think that invitation suite photos are simply about taking a standard shot of the invitation, RSVP card, and other stationery items without much thought or creativity.

Invitation suite photos are more than just a snapshot of the paper goods. They are an opportunity for the photographer to showcase the design, color palette, and style of the wedding, helping to set the tone for the entire day. These photos often include the invitation, save-the-date, RSVP cards, and any other stationery (like programs or menus), along with details like the wedding rings, flowers, or fabric swatches that complement the suite. A good photographer will creatively compose the shot, using textures, lighting, and props to highlight the uniqueness of the couple's style and vision for their wedding. It’s a thoughtful way to capture the details that communicate the theme and personality of the event. .

All Wedding Photographers Don't Offer the Same Services!!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Misunderstanding: Some couples assume that every wedding photographer provides the same package of services and results, meaning price is the only distinguishing factor.

Reality: Wedding photographers vary widely in their style, approach, and the types of packages they offer. Some may specialize in traditional posed portraits, while others excel in capturing candid, documentary-style moments. They may offer different services such as engagement sessions, albums, or same-day edits, and their post-production editing styles can range from highly stylized to more natural. Couples should carefully review photographers’ portfolios and communicate about their specific needs to find the right match for their vision. .

True or False: Wedding Photos Are Just for the Couple​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Misunderstanding: There's a belief that wedding photos are only for the couple getting married, and that they won't be of interest to others.

Reality: Wedding photos are often cherished by family members, friends, and future generations. Parents, siblings, and even distant relatives may request prints or albums of their own, and the photos can become treasured family heirlooms. Additionally, a well-documented wedding can be a beautiful keepsake for all those involved, not just the couple. Photographers understand the importance of capturing both intimate moments and broader family dynamics, ensuring that no one is left out of the story. .

Family Sessions Are NOT Just About Posed Group Shots!!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Misunderstanding: Many people think that family photography sessions are limited to stiff, formal, posed group shots, where everyone smiles at the camera.

Reality: While posed group shots are a part of family sessions, the best family photographers focus on capturing candid moments and natural interactions. A great family photographer will encourage families to relax, interact with each other, and enjoy the experience, resulting in more genuine, emotional, and dynamic images. These candid shots—whether it’s a child laughing, parents holding hands, or siblings playing together—often convey the true spirit of the family, making the photos much more meaningful than just static poses. .

A misunderstanding about Wedding Photographers!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Wedding Photographers Just "Click a Button":

Misunderstanding: Many people assume that wedding photographers simply point and shoot, capturing moments with little technical skill or effort.

Reality: Wedding photography is a highly skilled profession that requires knowledge of lighting, composition, timing, and post-production editing. Photographers have to anticipate key moments, manage different lighting conditions, and often work in challenging environments, such as large crowds, dimly lit venues, or outdoor settings with shifting weather. A great photographer doesn't just "click a button"; they make thoughtful decisions to create stunning images that tell a story. .

Here is one misunderstanding about wedding day detail photos *) one of my favorite things to photograph:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Detail Photos Are Just About Decorative Items

Misunderstanding: Some people think detail shots are only about taking pictures of things like flowers, invitations, or wedding rings and are less important than capturing the main moments of the ceremony or reception.

Reality: While detail photos do showcase decorative elements like the rings, shoes, bouquets, and table settings, they serve a much deeper purpose. These photos help tell the complete story of the day, preserving the uniqueness of the couple's style and the effort put into every little touch. They also capture the craftsmanship and thoughtfulness behind the wedding planning, and the way these details fit into the larger atmosphere of the event. The details often hold sentimental value for the couple and their families, making them a key part of the wedding narrative. .

🏛️✨ Shoutout to the stunning Chrysler Museum of Art! This breathtaking venue is perfect for an elegant wedding, with its beautiful architecture and art-filled spaces providing a unique backdrop for your special day.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Just a heads up: you’ll want to plan for a later ceremony since the museum closes before the evening celebrations. Keep that in mind based on the time of year you choose to tie the knot! 💖

Consider this gem for a wedding that will leave a lasting impression! .
