We’ve been loving flowers lately, like even more than usual. Maybe it’s Spring’s arrival, or maybe it’s because we’ve been around so many beautiful floral designs lately, but either way we just can’t get enough. What do we love even more than a beautiful bouquet? Taking photos of a beautiful bouquet! There’s something special about photographing flowers… their lives are so short. Those blooms will begin to fall by the end of a wedding night, and so we feel an urgency when photographing a Bride’s bouquet, to make sure we get those images while the flowers are at their best.
It’s always recommended that Brides (who are using fresh stems in their bouquets) ask their floral designer to deliver the bouquets to the bridal suite before the bridal party leaves for the venue. Having the bouquets on hand in the bridal suite, allows us to spend 5 extra minutes photographing the bouquet standing alone, in a gorgeous setting, with nice light, before it starts to get bumped around.
At Sunday’s bridal show, our good friend and incredible floral designer, Alicia Jayne was sweet enough to give us one of her display bouquets to take to our studio. Naturally, when we got it there we had to take a lot of photos of it 😉 These are great examples of the types of bouquet photos we love to take, preserving the memories of the smallest details of your wedding day. The craftsmanship of this bouquet is out of the world, and unless you really look closely you won’t notice all the attention to detail within the design and construction of this work of art. Even a Bride will be too busy on her wedding day to really LOOK at her bouquet, so we like to take these photos and remind her later of how gorgeous it was.
