Weekend Snapshot

ABOUT THE WEEKEND SNAPSHOT SERIES: It’s our weekend ritual. Every Friday before shooting a wedding, we spend a few hours feasting on inspiration: glossy magazine spreads, favorite Instagram feeds, wedding site editorials, ads for luxury brands, Sprinkles’ cupcake window displays…. It ensures we arrive at every wedding fueled by fresh ideas. Now, we’re bringing a delicious bite of inspiration to you. Start your wedding weekend with a Luke & Cat Weekend Snapshot. The icing on the cake? The hands-on, how-to advice that accompanies each photo. Sweet.

The drama is in the details

Attention to detail goes into every decision a couple makes before the big day. Photographers, use that to your advantage when looking for the perfect ring shot.

Anything that has the couple’s name(s) on it has the potential for a great ring shot. We like to use anything monogrammed, like this cocktail napkin. It is one of those smaller details that can make all the difference in the wedding story that you are documenting. Not every wedding has a personalized cocktail napkin, but they all have plenty of things to use—if you keep your eyes focused on the details.
