Wedding Stationery Photography

Planning Your Wedding

Among all the things you need to plan for your wedding, one of the main items on your list is choosing your wedding stationery. After you’ve chosen the date, the time, the location, and the theme for your ceremony and reception — your memorable wedding stationery shares the important information with your guests.

Wedding Theme

Your wedding stationery is probably one of the first indicators to your guests as to the type of wedding you will be having. It will be the first of many items that tie your wedding theme together.

Photography of Your Wedding Stationery

We know that planning and choosing your wedding stationery is extremely important, so as your wedding photographer, we know what it takes to take amazing wedding photographs this functional detail.

Photography of wedding stationery involves photographing with proper equipment and proper use of lighting, photographing all the different types of stationery that are available on your wedding day, and photographing your stationery in a creative and special way to create memories for you that will last a lifetime.

Proper Camera and Lighting Equipment

Two of the most important things when photographing your wedding stationery are proper equipment and proper lighting. Jennifer Angeloro Photography uses all high quality, professional digital camera and lighting equipment. We also carry backup equipment for everything. In addition to using the proper equipment, it is also important to use the flash and natural lighting correctly.

When photographing print pieces in a wedding, natural lighting with no flash is usually the best lighting to use. But when there is not enough natural light for an image, we use a tripod, bounced flash, set up additional flashes, or a combination of all of these. We make sure to test our lighting in order to produce the best images of your wedding stationery.

Photographing Each of Your Printed Items

Photography of printed material includes photographing all the different types that are available. There could be numerous pieces to photograph on the day of the wedding and a great photographer knows how to fit those details into the shooting plan for the day.

Some of these items include “Save the Date” postcards, your wedding invitation, programs for your ceremony, table seating charts for your reception, reception dinner menus, and thank you notes to use after your wedding.

Creative Images of Your Wedding Stationery

We encourage our brides to bring any print items with them so that we can take creative photos during the pre-ceremony getting ready time. When photographing your wedding stationery we take a variety of creative images that are unique and special to your wedding day.

With some of the items that you might have with you during the pre-ceremony getting ready time such as a “Save the Date” postcard, a wedding invitation, a ceremony program and a thank you note, we like to create artistic images incorporating your wedding floral arrangements and other special wedding items. Other special wedding items include your “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,” your engagement and wedding rings, any other jewelry, and anything else special to you. We like to create artistic images by focusing on one specific detail of your wedding stationery and allowing the rest of the image to appear more soft and blurred.

For your wedding ceremony programs we also like to take images of them at your ceremony. If your ceremony is on the beach, one idea includes photographing your stationery in the sand. Other ideas include photographs of your wedding programs arranged in a basket or being held in someone’s hand.

During the reception we also make sure we photograph any print pieces such as table seating charts and dinner menus. We are constantly looking for unique angles to photograph all your wedding stationery during the getting ready time, the ceremony, and the reception. Photographs of these details are an extremely important part of your wedding photographs for your wedding day.
