Weddings are no longer just about the union of two souls but a celebration of individuality, sustainability, and modern aesthetics. From intimate micro-weddings to bold color palettes and immersive experiences, these trends are set to redefine the way we say, "I do." Here's to a year of love, creativity, and unforgettable celebrations! What do you see as trending this year? Are you planning on any of these at your wedding this year?
Why detail photographs are so important on your wedding day!
Detail photographs are crucial for weddings because they capture the smaller, intricate elements that contribute to the overall atmosphere and narrative of the event. These images go beyond traditional shots of the couple and group photos, focusing on the specific elements that make the wedding unique and memorable. Here are several reasons why detail photographs are important for weddings:
- Memories and Sentimentality: Detail shots help preserve the memories of the day by capturing the small details that may be overlooked or forgotten over time. These images evoke emotions and bring back the feelings associated with specific moments.
- Storytelling: Detail shots contribute to the overall storytelling of the wedding day. They help document the entire experience, from the bridal preparations to the ceremony and reception, providing a comprehensive narrative for the couple to look back on.
- Personalization: Detail photographs showcase the personalized aspects of the wedding, such as the rings, invitations, flowers, and decorations. These elements reflect the couple's unique style, tastes, and the effort put into planning their special day.
- Vendor Showcase: Wedding vendors, such as florists, cake designers, and dressmakers, invest time and creativity in their work. Detail shots provide an opportunity to showcase and appreciate the craftsmanship of these professionals, potentially leading to referrals and future business.
- Album Design: Detail shots are often included in wedding albums, adding variety and visual interest to the collection of images. They help break up the sequence of standard portraits and action shots, creating a more dynamic and aesthetically pleasing layout.
- Cohesive Aesthetics: Detail photographs contribute to the overall aesthetic of the wedding album by capturing the color schemes, textures, and themes that tie the entire event together. This can enhance the visual appeal and cohesiveness of the photo collection.
- Documenting Traditions: Detail shots are instrumental in capturing cultural or familial traditions associated with the wedding. Whether it's a particular type of attire, a symbolic item, or a traditional ceremony element, these images help document the rich cultural tapestry of the wedding.
- Gratitude and Acknowledgment: Detail shots can be used to express gratitude and acknowledgment to those who contributed to the wedding. Photographs of gifts, handwritten notes, or special moments between the couple and their loved ones convey appreciation and thankfulness.
How we plan our timelines for couples and a free sample!
Great for couples and other wedding vendors who may need assistance.
Creating the perfect day of wedding timeline can face some challenges - especially if you haven't done a lot of weddings or attended many even as a guest! Part of our wedding photography packages includes assistance creating a custom timeline with our couples. It's often one of the first things we chat about when we first meet (in Zoom or for coffee). The timeline or schedule of your big day actually helps us with many other questions we may have for your day! It also helps to set expectations for us as your photographer or for the couple themselves.
Many times when we first meet a couple they aren't even sure of how many hours they need coverage for regardless of their budget. Are hair and makeup photographs very important? Does the couple want time built in for a longer bridal or groom portrait session? Will they be having a first look, first touch, parent first look? Will they be having an exit? If a couple is having a first look this can save some time when it comes to doing portraits during cocktail hour. My hot take as a photographer is that it's definitely more the trend for most couples to want to actually attend and enjoy their cocktail hour with their guests! Couples are less and less afraid of breaking the traditional molds that the wedding day used to reliably have.
Another idea we always suggest for our couples is if they want to do an exit tradition from their reception that they should do it earlier in the night rather than the actual end. This way more guests are there to fill their photos and it relieves older guests and guests with young children so that they may know they can leave when they please to. Typically this works by having your DJ or band announce for guests to go to a certain location to pick up sparklers or bubble wands for some professional images but that the party isn't over, that dance floor is just starting to heat up! Another reason we do this is so that you as our clients are not inundated with a large amount of dance floor photographs that get repetitive (same guests dancing over and over again, never mind that open bar adding on to it)!
With all of that said, I hope you can use this as a guide to walk through a wedding timeline and stick to it! We strive to keep our couples on time and make sure the things that are the most important to them are our priority.
1. Getting Ready (Pre-Ceremony):
- Bride and groom preparations (Second shooter goes to groom for getting ready photographs - this can include groom details, portraits of just groom/parent and any groomsmen).
- Candid shots of hair and makeup
- Details shots of dress, shoes, and accessories
- Flat Lay & Ring shots
- Bridal portraits - portraits with any parents/bridesmaids if flowers are there. (For our Ultimate 10 hour package this is an extended bridal session).
- Typically one of us if on reception location will get venue photographs when it's set up/prior to anyone else's arrival.
2. First Look /touch (Optional):
- Capture the emotional moment of the couple seeing each other for the first time or holding hands.
- Private vow or other letter reading is also optional
- Another option is a first look with Bride's parent or parents/someone else special to them.
- Photographers check to make sure or swap batteries for ceremony.
3. Ceremony:
- Arrival of guests
- Ceremony venue details
- Processional and recessional shots
- Exchange of vows and rings
- Unity ceremonies
- First kiss as a married couple
- Candid reactions of the couple and guests
4. Formal Portraits (some or all can be skipped if they had a first look).
- Photographer checks list of family portrait shots to ensure everyone is there.
- Family group photos
- Bridal party portraits
- Couple's portraits at various locations
5. Cocktail Hour:
- Candid shots of guests mingling
- More Detail shots of the venue and decor
- Photographers swap batteries again if needed so they have a fresh set in prior to reception entrances.
- Photographers swap SD cards and put prior ones in shockproof waterproof case.
6. Reception:
- Entrance of the bridal party (optional)
- Entrance of the couple
- First dance
- Parent dances
- Toasts and speeches
- Dinner service
- Cake cutting (optional or can also have a private one without an announcement to guests).
- Candid shots of guests dancing and enjoying the celebration
7. OPTIONAL - Last chance for portraits - most couples opt out of these to enjoy their reception.
- Capture the couple during the golden hour for stunning outdoor photos or direct flash photos outside or at the bar.
8. Other fun ideas!
- Table dash - have the musician or DJ play one or two lively songs depending on the guest count - try to run to every table before the song runs out and grab a picture of the couple in front of each table!
- Dance Floor Dash - The opposite of a table dash - stand on the dance floor and have each table announced. Have each table of guests surround the couple for a quick picture - all the tables must be done before the song/songs run out! (This is definitely preferred by photographers so their settings stay the same)!
9. Departure:
- Sparkler exit or other special nighttime moments - can do this earlier as a "fake" exit if contracted time is running out.
- Candid shots of the couple leaving the venue (optional/if contract allows by time booked).
10. Say goodbye!
- Photographers - make sure your couple knows when you're contracted to leave, if you allow extending it on the day of and make sure to say goodbye and thank them when you've packed up!
- Couples - thank your vendors! Let them know how appreciated they are. For most vendors - photographers especially - we are with you ALL day on our feet and the work has just begun. It takes photographers countless hours of editing time to deliver your gallery and products. It's so nice to feel valued! We pour our hearts into each couple we work with - you are truly all so important to us and we love to keep in touch!
Today was National Adoption Day and I was honored to participate! As a passionate photographer (who also happens to have an adoptive brother who I love dearly) with a heart dedicated to documenting the beautiful journey of adoption, I find immense joy and fulfillment in every frame that tells a story of love, acceptance, and the formation of a new family!
Photographing adoptions is a huge honor! It allows me to witness and capture true unconditional love. Adoption is a transformative journey for both the adoptive parents, the child, foster families and birth families. Adoption transcends cultural, racial, and geographical boundaries, fostering diversity and inclusivity. I am passionate about capturing the diversity of families that form through adoption, showcasing the beauty of different backgrounds coming together.
One of the most rewarding aspects of adoption photography is the opportunity to capture a series of "firsts" – the first hug, the first smile, the family entering the world through the courthouse doors for the first time! These moments are incredibly precious, and my role as a photographer is to freeze these instances in time, ensuring that the families I work with can revisit and cherish these milestones for years to come.
Beyond the personal joy I derive from photographing adoptions, I see my work as a medium for raising awareness about the beauty and challenges of adoption. By sharing these stories through social media or my blog, I hope to contribute to a more informed and empathetic society, dispelling myths surrounding adoption and encouraging open conversations.

Through my lens, I aim to spread love, celebrate diversity, and show the love of adoption. I am grateful to play a small part in preserving these timeless stories!

If you don't know us already - we are Sarah & John, a husband and wife wedding photography team here at Aprea Media! I wanted to truly express our gratitude to our clients and put into writing why we are so passionate about wedding photography (and really weddings in general)!
As wedding photographers, there are several reasons why we find ourselves deeply appreciating and loving the couples we work with. Here are just some of the reasons:
- Capturing Love and Happiness: Wedding photography allows us to witness and capture one of the happiest days in a couple's life. Being a part of such a joyous occasion and freezing those moments in time can be incredibly rewarding.
- Emotional Connections: We often get a front-row seat to the emotional journey of the couple - from the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the pure joy during the celebration. Witnessing and documenting these emotions can create a strong connection between ourselves and our couples.
- Building Relationships: As wedding photographers, you spend a significant amount of time with the couple leading up to the wedding day. This allows us to build a relationship and rapport with them. The trust they place in us to capture their special day can be both humbling and fulfilling.
- Creative Expression: Wedding photography is not just about documenting events; it's also an art form. The creative process of capturing unique and beautiful moments can be deeply satisfying. When couples appreciate and value our artistic vision, it enhances the overall experience.
- Sharing in the Celebration: We are not just spectators at these weddings! We are an active participant. Sharing in the couple's joy, laughter, and celebration can create a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond a professional relationship.
- Being a Part of a Milestone: A wedding is a significant milestone in a couple's life. Knowing that our work will be a lasting reminder of their commitment and love for each other can be immensely gratifying.
- Unique Stories: Every couple has a unique story, and being the one to visually narrate that story through your photographs is a privilege. Learning about their journey and capturing it in a way that reflects their personalities adds a personal touch to our work.
- Creating Lasting Memories: Our photographs become cherished memories for couples and their families. Knowing that our work contributes to the legacy of their love story can create a special bond between you and our couples. We love staying in touch and often times watching their family grow.
- Seeing the Results of our Work: When we deliver the final photos and see the joy and appreciation our couples have - it is a powerful affirmation of our skills and the effort we put into capturing their special day.
- Word of Mouth and Referrals: Happy couples often recommend their wedding photographer to friends and family. The positive experiences we create can lead to more opportunities and a growing network of clients who value our work.

Joseph & Sumi - July 30, 2023 - A musical event!
Part 1 - Ceremony & Cocktails on Board the Charles I
Joe & Sumi met TWENTY years ago at the Longwood Orchestra where Joe was already a member of and Sumi joined. Joe told us he saw Sumi walk in and I'd like to believe it was love at first sight. They finally decided to tie the knot after twenty years together! They both said that their distaste for planning kept them from officially wedding for so long. Their day came together so perfectly - our first wedding of the year without rain!! I think this was because it was a Sunday, not a Saturday as it had poured the day before like every other Saturday we've had this year in Massachusetts.
Having worked with the #Charlesriverboatcompany before but on #Bostonharbor we were super excited to experience what their river boat weddings are like. These leave from a little dock outside of the CambridgeSide Galleria which makes parking and getting to these boats super easy and convenient! Parking was significantly more affordable ($4 for the day after validation vs $18 at the Harbor). Accessibility was very easy with elevators from the garage. This was helpful considering Joe & some friends were towing a wagon full of decor to set the boat up prior to Sumi's arrival. The riverboats are a much more relaxed and DYI experience. I don't know the specifics whether or not you can pay more for the company to set up or if they are all DYI. The capacity was max of 75 people and I believe they had about 50 set up for a cocktail party (dinner reception was to follow at the couple's favorite restaurant - find part 2 of this blog soon).
The woodwork on the Riverboat is stunning and so were their floral arrangements and especially the fabric accents on the arrangements and the bridal party's attire. Sumi's mother came to America from Japan with gorgeous handmade kimonos and had the brilliant idea to use the fabric for bridal attire and accents throughout the day. The men's ties, pocket squares, sashes, ring box and Sumi's dress all came from her mother's kimonos!
How adorable is Sumi's mother holding a custom made purse from her own kimonos?!
Here she is in conversation with Sumi's long time violin teacher.
