Why I want your wedding invitation...

If you're one of our #heidihortoncouples you'll know I ask for a copy of your wedding invitation to be with your bridal details on the morning of the wedding. It's one of the items on our details checklist in our Bridal Guide magazine! 

You might be wondering why I want your wedding invitation? Well here's why I love incorporating your wedding invitation or wedding stationery suite into the photographs...

• Your wedding stationery is generally in the same styling or colour scheme as your wedding day so it helps tie everything together visually. Think of it as a connecting detail.
  
  
• The wedding invitation is the perfect flat surface to take wedding ring and jewellery shots on. I can't speak for other photographers but I get incredibly shaky hands when trying to style & photograph tiny elements such as wedding rings and earrings. Having an flat surface to arrange these things on is a huge advantage!
  
  
• Your names are on your wedding invitation so it makes these photographs incredibly personalised. And beautiful calligraphy lettering looks amazing paired with sparkly diamonds or your floral bouquets!
  
  
• You spent money on your invitations and they are a part of your wedding story, so why not incorporate them into photos. All the small details you've carefully thought of for your big day are meaningful and I love photographing them.
