• Flat lays are one of our favorite pieces of our wedding galleries for several reasons, but if you’re looking to have one included in your wedding gallery, there are a few things you need to know… 1. They take a considerable amount of time to put together 2. The options are endless when it comes to what to include/not include 3. The creator has to have an eye for design Here’s a few tips to help you and your photographer come wedding day: -TIME: Being that these take a significant amount of time to put together, make sure you schedule enough room in the timeline. We like to do these as soon as we get to the Bride’s getting ready location, which is usually right at the beginning of the day. Not only does it help get our creative juices flowing, but it helps you photograph everything before the Bride gets ready so you’re not asking her to take things on and off. PROTIP: We include a list of items in our Bride Guide and suggest our couples have everything gathered in a bag, so when we get to the venue, we can just grab the bag and get started. This saves a huge amount of time! -OPTIONS: As mentioned above, we send a list of suggested items to our couples beforehand, so they can start thinking about what they might like to include in their flat lay/details shots. -ARTISTIC EYE: Piecing together an aesthetically pleasing flat lay that perfectly highlights each detail is something that takes practice. If you are the photographer, and have a natural eye for design, it will come easier to you, but if you don’t, you can train yourself by practicing at home. If you’re a Bride reading this, and you want a flay lay included in your gallery, make sure you’ve seen your photographer’s detail shots and like the way they look. It’s also a good idea to cover how important it is to you in your conversations before the wedding. MORE PROTIPS: -Place the veil behind the items to create texture -Use natural light (in every situation possible) -Break up solid lines with jewelry or other pieces -Frame with shoes and flowers -Space your paper goods evenly

  • How perfect is this evening sparkler exit before the sun went down?! Ok… on to what I really wanted to say… We never want to discount the tragedy this pandemic has brought so many people, but we are committed to finding as many silver linings as we can and making the most good out of 2020. If you’re like us, you’ve done as Taylor and Ted have done, and continued to focus on the most important things - faith, family, and marriage. Congratulations to Taylor and Ted, and thank you for allowing us to be a part of the most special day with the ones you love the most.

  • The last 10 minutes before sunset is always the best! Having a couple as darling as Hailey and Barrett sure doesn’t hurt either! We’re excited to be your photo and video team in August at @thefarmsatwoodendsprings 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
