This flat lay was placed on the bottom of bride’s dress. It goes without saying, but always make sure what you put on there is spotless.
Beyond the Mat: Embracing Authenticity in Wedding Photography
In my photography, I aim to capture the essence of each couple's unique story. That's why, instead of using generic flat lay mats, I prefer incorporating elements and settings directly from your wedding venue. This method allows me to weave the distinct personality of your special day into every photograph. Whether it's the rustic charm of a wooden table or the elegance of vintage decor, these elements add a personal touch that reflects your style and the ambiance of your wedding.

How to Pick the Right Food for Your Wedding: A Feast of Love and Laughter
Hey there, soon-to-be-wed lovebirds! Rich here from Richard J Nieves Photography, your go-to for capturing those timeless, elegant, and oh-so-dramatic wedding moments. Today, let’s talk about something that makes or breaks any wedding – the food! Yes, choosing the right menu for your big day can be as tricky as getting Uncle Bob to smile for the camera (don’t worry, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve for that too!).
1. Know Your Crowd
First things first, know your audience. If your family is a bunch of meat-lovers, a vegan menu might cause a mini-rebellion. But hey, it’s your day! If you’re passionate about plant-based cuisine, go for it. Just make sure there’s a heads-up on the invite.
2. Seasonal and Sensational
Opt for seasonal and local delights. Not only is it eco-friendly, but it also gives your guests a taste of the best, freshest flavors. Imagine a summer wedding with fresh berry tarts… yum!
3. Dietary Needs are Not a Buzzkill
Don’t forget about dietary restrictions. Gluten-free, nut allergies, lactose intolerance – these are real things and not just trendy diet fads. A little consideration goes a long way in making everyone feel included.
4. Food Trucks? Yes, Please!
Want to add a fun twist? Hire a food truck! It’s a great way to serve up casual yet chic dining options. Plus, it’s an excellent backdrop for some quirky wedding photos.
5. The Taste Test Adventure
Most importantly, do a taste test. It’s like a date night but with a mission. Enjoy the process, have fun, and make sure you love what you’re going to serve.
Remember, the food at your wedding is more than just a meal; it’s an extension of your love story. Whether it’s a five-course dinner or a simple buffet, make it uniquely yours.
Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t fret! Just like I help camera-shy couples feel like stars in front of the lens, I’m here to guide you through the wedding planning maze. If you’re ready to make your wedding as unique as your love story (with some epic photos to boot), hit up my inquiry form. Let’s make your wedding a day filled with love, laughter, and some seriously good eats!
