Essential Details to Set Aside for Perfect Detail Photos from an Idaho Elopement Photographer

When planning an elopement in the breathtaking landscapes of Idaho, every detail matters. As an Idaho elopement photographer, capturing those intricate moments that tell your unique story is my passion. From the towering Sawtooth Mountains to the serene lakes of the Gem State, your elopement day deserves to be remembered in all its beauty and intimacy. Here’s a guide on what to set aside for those perfect detail photos that will make your elopement album truly special.

1. The Rings

Your rings symbolize your eternal love and commitment.

2. The Bouquet or Extra Flowers

Bouquets are not just beautiful; they often incorporate meaningful flowers and colors. My favorite thing to do is to take extra flowers from the florist and incorporate them into my flatlays or detail shots.

3. Stationery and Vows

These paper goods reflect the theme and emotion of your elopement. And the vows…well what else do I need to say about that!

4. Attire Details

The dress, suit, shoes, and accessories contribute to the day’s aesthetics. Other examples are: veil, cufflinks, hair pins, other jewelry, shoes, garder, etc.

5. Keepsakes and Heirlooms

These items often have sentimental value and add a personal touch. Examples I have had couples includes are these: a late grandmother’s handkerchief, a hand stitched handkerchief by the bride with their date and flowers, an ornament attached to a bride’s bouquet with a picture of her father who passed.

Tips for Setting Aside Details

1. Prepare in Advance: Gather all the details you want photographed before the big day to ensure nothing is missed in the excitement.
2. Communicate with Your Photographer: Share the significance of each item with your photographer so they can capture its essence. Communicate with them also for any more ideas and also what your vision is for these photos.
