Your wedding day deserves to be captured with elegance and intention—right down to the smallest details. At Treadway & Co. Weddings, we believe that these quiet, personal elements—the heirloom jewelry, your custom vows, the delicate calligraphy on your invitations—tell your love story just as powerfully as the portraits and first look.
To help you prepare for stunning flat lays and detail photos, we’ve created the ultimate guide to everything you should set aside for your photographer on the morning of your wedding.
Why Details Matter
Detail photos set the tone for your wedding album. They capture the style, story, and artistry behind your day. These pieces often go unnoticed in the whirlwind, but with thoughtful styling, they become timeless heirlooms.
To ensure nothing gets missed, we recommend gathering all your details into a small box or tote the night before. Then, assign a trusted bridesmaid or your planner to pass them to us when we arrive. Easy, stress-free, and oh-so-worth it.

Use custom hangers for your dress and veil. Wooden or engraved ones look timeless in photos.
Vow books add a romantic, personal element—plus, they photograph far better than torn notebook paper.
Ring boxes with texture or personalization give your photos a luxury touch. Velvet, linen, or vintage boxes are favorites.
Florals can tie everything together—soften edges, fill negative space, and bring in your wedding colors.
Designate a bridesmaid or planner to keep everything together in a “detail box” and hand it off when we arrive. This small step saves time and helps us create the magic without interrupting your glam time.
