Your Flat lay details

Photographing a flatlay at a wedding adds value by beautifully capturing the thoughtful details that make the day unique—like the invitation suite, rings, florals, and heirlooms. These styled shots offer a cohesive visual story that complements the emotional moments and portraits, elevating the overall wedding gallery. Flatlays preserve the aesthetic and personal touches that couples often spend months curating, transforming them into timeless keepsakes.

How to Prepare

Flat lays typically take about 30 minutes to set up and shoot. To maximize this time have your details ready for your photographer at the start of their arrival. A key reminder to put together in a shoe box or bag:

2 sets of invites with envelopes/ RSVP cards

Earrings/ necklace/ bracelet

Wax seal/ sticker

Ribbon / lace

Rings and ring box

Florals - ask your florist for some florals they may cut and not need to use as filler or accessorize your flat lay.
