This couple had the most unique wedding I have ever been at. I took over 3+hrs of video and had to narrow their highlight down to just a few minutes – it was a challenge to say the least! I’m going to have so much fun putting together their full video that includes a mechanical bull!! Congratulations Desiree and Connor on a fantastic day!

Groom’s Wedding Rings
I received an interesting question the other day that I don’t think is commonly addressed! What is “common” for a groom’s ring??
Honestly, nothing is common 🙂 Whatever you feel you want to wear (or not) is perfect! Below are some of the examples of rings that I have photographed over the years. I have seen everything form the plan metal band to diamonds and sapphires to silicon rings.
A lot of the times, the groom’s choice in a ring depends on the field they work in. My husband for instance has a carbon fiber ring that will shatter upon impact. Where welders may have a silicon ring in order to avoid any accidents while welding. Also no ring, some men don’t necessarily want to wear a ring but get a tattoo – just like the Bride’s ring – It is all dependent on their personality!
Jace + Emily
This beautiful wedding was located at the Little Smith Creek Ranch. It was an absolute perfect Fall day! This bride and groom are just too sweet and darling. The Easter eggs (small unexpected moments) in this video are just a few that will be in their full video! Such a wonderful day!!!
Decoration Ideas – 5 For Your Special Day!
Are you struggling with where to start planning for your decorations? I have some great helpful tips to get you started! Check out my top 5 decoration ideas below to get your planning the kick start that it needs.
- Flowers – This may not be a surprise to you, but flowers are great fillers for decorations! Whether you choose to go with real, fabric, wooden (Yes, they’re a thing!), succulents, etc. incorporating your color theme into your flowers is a must! Also – You can use these as guest gifts if you want!
- Mirrors – These are a great way to double the look of your decorations! You can get bulk packs from just about any craft store. All you have to do is place your decorations on top and surprise you just expanded your decoration budget!
- Ribbon/Fabric – This is another great filler product! Use satin, mesh, burlap, etc. to tie your theme together and make your tables pop with color!
- Vases/Motifs – You want to be sure to not get too tall with your centerpieces. You can get vases and motifs in all sorts of sizes and shapes though to bring structure to your pieces! The dollar stores are a great resource for these items! What’s fun about using vases and motifs is that you can choose clear or match them to a certain color for that extra pop!
- Personalized element – Throw in some fun personalized elements. There are a bunch of different websites that will allow you to personalize decorations. I’ve seen vase holders, golf tees, and candy used as keepsakes within the wedding decorations.
**Bonus** – Lights!!! – You can’t forget the lights! When the lights go out, it’s always nice when the wedding decorations have a little sparkle and shine. You can use holiday lights (try not to get LED – they flash very quickly that the camera can pick it up), fairy lights, or custom colored lights to make your decorations perfectly unique!
Keep it Simple! – All in all, just keep it simple. All eyes are going to be on you and your significant other during the day! The decorations are there to add your creative element to tables and walls. Add a pop of color, throw in some filler, give it sparkle, and personalize those decorations to round out your venue to make it unique for you!
