When you think about your wedding photos, your mind probably goes straight to the big, emotional moments—your walk down the aisle, your partner’s face during the vows, that first dance glow. But the quiet details of your day? They deserve just as much love. Wedding flat lay photography is how I honor those personal, intentional choices you’ve made—the invitation suite you carefully selected, the earrings passed down from your grandmother, the perfume you’ll forever associate with this day.

These things tell your story just as much as the people do.

What Is a Flat Lay?

A flat lay is a styled, overhead photo of carefully arranged details—typically including your invitation suite, rings, florals, vow books, shoes, jewelry, and anything else unique to your day. It’s your story told through objects: curated, meaningful, and beautiful.

And while they might look effortless, a good wedding flat lay photography setup takes time, artistry, and an eye for composition and light. That’s where experience (and a sprinkle of obsession) comes in.

My Styling Process

When I arrive on a wedding day, one of the first things I do is gather your detail items. I bring a styling kit with me to every wedding—think ribbons, ring boxes, antique trays, and linen backdrops—to elevate and enhance what you already have.

I pay close attention to color palette, texture, and layers so everything feels cohesive and elevated. I’m not just snapping a picture of your invites on the table—I’m creating a piece of art that fits right into the overall feel of your wedding gallery.

Heirloom Moments Deserve to Be Seen

Some of my favorite flat lays are the ones with sentimental touches. A handkerchief embroidered by a great-grandmother. A locket holding a photo of a loved one. A bracelet worn by three generations of women. These are the details that give your wedding day even deeper meaning—and I take extra care to photograph them in a way that honors their significance.

It’s not just a pretty picture. It’s a way to hold onto legacy.

Why It Matters

You’ve spent months—maybe years—pouring thought into the look and feel of your day. The colors. The paper. The jewelry. These things represent your style, your story, and your heart. Wedding flat lay photography ensures those details don’t fade into the background.

They round out your gallery, adding layers of texture and tone that elevate your entire wedding collection.

A Quiet, Beautiful Start to the Day

There’s also something peaceful about starting your wedding morning with details. It allows me to quietly create while the energy of the day builds. For you, it’s a calm beginning—knowing someone’s capturing the beauty before the rush begins.
