Planning your Reno wedding involves countless decisions, each adding to the unique experience of your special day. As a Reno wedding photographer, I’ve noticed one aspect often overlooked: how to incorporate your engagement photos into the wedding. These unique and exciting moments, capturing the joy and excitement of your pre-wedding journey, can add a personal touch to your celebration. In this blog, we’ll explore creative and simple ways to include your engagement photos throughout your wedding day to ensure your beautiful photos are on full display!
Save the Dates
A quick and simple way to include your engagement photos right off the bat? Save the dates! While some couples may skip these entirely and go straight for the invitation, it’s a great way to use those photos and get guests excited for your upcoming wedding day. Consider sending these out when you get your photos back and set a date. It will make things feel more real and add to the excitement of being engaged! Save the dates also make a great addition to wedding day detail shots.
Wedding Invitations For Your Reno Wedding
One of my favorite things to receive in the mail is wedding invitations! As a wedding photographer myself, the absolute joy and pride that a photographer feels when they receive an invite in the mail with a photo they’ve taken is priceless. Using your engagement photos in your wedding invitations can give guests a peek into what they can expect on your wedding day. While also giving them something cute to hang on the fridge! I have some clients whose parents still have their wedding invitations! It’s such an exciting and special piece of your legacy together.
Wedding Website
Now that it’s 2024 and people have family and friends nationwide, a wedding website is a great way to include them. Throughout the planning process, you can post updates to keep guests engaged and excited about what’s to come. Slip in a few engagement photos while setting up your unique wedding website! It’s a great way to make your website personal and inviting to family and friends.
Wedding Decor
Consider using photos throughout your relationship and engagement photos in your wedding decor! Perhaps have a welcome table with pictures and your guest book. I love having a spot that shows guests what they’re coming into, and it’s a simple way to start the experience out on the right foot! Maybe you want to skip the welcome table but have a sign welcoming guests? Add photos next to your sign. Get creative! Incorporating your engagement photos into decor can be a huge money saver and a simple way to make things unique and personalized.
Use Engagement Photos for Table Centerpieces At Your Reno Wedding
One of my absolute favorites is photo arrangements at the tables for guests! Each table can have a different photo arrangement, giving guests something to look at while dining and visiting. This can also make for simple seating charts and decor that you can take home to use for home decor later! Simply add some flowers, a wood round, and a few photos, and you’ve got classy rustic table centerpieces for your Reno wedding.
Home Decor
Lastly, get some photos printed to hang in your new home together. There’s something about hanging photos in a new house that can make it feel like a home. Fill the walls with love and memories together. If you plan to use your engagement photos as home decor, consider wearing outfits matching your home’s vibe and aesthetic. Not only will they flow beautifully, but it’s always fun to update pictures in your space!
I hope you have some ideas for using engagement photos at your Reno wedding, and I can’t wait to see what you choose to do for your big day!
