Let’s be real, between the chaos of all the wedding plans and trying to enjoy a little bit of the wedding festivities your mind might just want a break. As a wedding photographer, We can understand how stressful it would be to make sure you remember everything for both your wedding day and honeymoon! Lists have always been a tool that has helped us remember everything we need to while traveling and or shooting a wedding.
We created a list of important things to make sure that you remember while packing for your wedding day. As a wedding photographer, these are the most common things forgotten. We would recommend that you have all of these items below on hand. There have been plenty of times where a button pops off on a groomsmen suit or a bridesmaids dress won’t stay up and you need double-sided tape or a sewing kit. It is always better to be safe than sorry in our book!
