Getting Ready Details: What to have ready for your photographer

One of my favorite things to shoot on the wedding day is ready, set, encore... the bride and groom details.

Ah yes, the gorgeous details. I love how the details tie everything together. It showcases the personality of the couple together, as well as the individual bride and groom.

You really get to see the heart behind the wedding. The sentimental part, and how it all ties in with the wedding itself.

Now you might ask, what exactly are getting ready details? Well, I'm here to share a list of what brides and grooms should have ready for the photographer when they start the day.

Being a bride-to-be myself and super organized, I love lists (so that I don't forget), I wrote down some of the important things you may want to include (preferably in a box) for your wedding photographer. That way when you're getting your makeup done, celebrating with your girls, or the groom is with his guys... the photographers get to work!

I also made and included a printout for you all the way at the bottom, so you can have on hand ;) Happy Wedding planning!
