There is beauty in the details, and that includes those in your wedding flatlay photos. Wedding flatlays are stylized images of all the little details that add up to the essence of your wedding day and can include such items as your invitation suite, your shoes, a bottle of your perfume, and your rings. However, these aren’t the only things your photographer will be looking to photograph! Flatlay details are an opportunity for your photographer to really show off their creativity and styling skills while also capturing small accessories and meaningful objects that make your wedding day personal. We’ve rounded up a checklist of wedding flatlay must-haves for your photographer on your wedding day. While most of these items should already be present on your wedding day, some will take a little extra planning. As your day draws near, collect these items in a single box or container that you can easily hand off to your photographer. This will keep your flatlay items organized and in one place, which will allow your photographer to start right on time.
