I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately that basically say:
“These are the photos that really matter, because in 50 years, these are the only ones you’ll care about.”
And every time I see one, it bothers me a little.
Because yes—the people and the moments matter immensely.
But I don’t think that means everything else doesn’t.
Keep reading, because I think the details matter too.
Yes, the moments you’ll remember in 50 years will be the people.
The hugs.
The happy tears.
The laughter.
The way it felt to have everyone you love in one place.
And we’re going to make sure we capture every bit of that.

There’s another part of your wedding story worth remembering too.
There are also things that matter right now.
Things you dreamed about, planned, stressed over, spent money on, and probably changed your mind about 47 times.
And those deserve to be remembered too.
Here’s what I mean…

I’m taking the photo.
And that’s only the beginning.
The decorations you planned…
The things your mom helped assemble at the kitchen table.
The projects your dad got volunteered for.
The little details your entire family somehow got roped into making. Like the seating chart the bridesmaids got pulled into helping make…
I’m taking photos of those too.
Because the story is in the details.
The fun things you planned specifically for your guests.
The late-night snacks.
The custom cocktail napkins.
The photo booth.
The favors.
The ch*****ne tower.
The bounce house you got for your daughter and her friends to enjoy…that maybe y’all took a turn on too…
The ridiculous little detail that made you laugh every time you talked about it.
Yep. Photographing it.
And we can’t forget what you’re wearing.
And the outfits.
The welcome party dress you searched months for.
The rehearsal dinner shoes you had to have.
The getting-ready set.
The reception dress you changed your mind about three times.
You stressed over them. You loved
