My first little curio shelf is fully dried (paint & glue) and it's come out super cute! It's got a cute little black walnut shell, some Tiger's Eye in a little bottle, and a hanging ring of skeleton keys. The background is actually an old postcard!

Birthday Celebration | Valo x Gn reader

Characters: Chamber, Gekko, Yoru and Sova

Warnings: fluff, celebrating reader's birthday, gender neutral reader, maybe ooc, haven't written for Valorant in a while, English isn't my first language

A/n: Guess whose birthday it is today (March 13th), still can't believe that another year is over. I wrote a few Birthday related things for different fandoms and I will post them over the next couple days. But we are starting with a few Valorant headcanons

Comments, likes and reblogs are always appreciated and really motivate me to write more <3

Chamber

For your birthday, he would definitely consider your preferences.

If you're more introverted and prefer an intimate moment together, he would probably cook you an amazing, very fancy dinner with candles all around.

If you're more into socializing, he would likely prepare a small party with you and your close friends.

He will ensure that his schedule is cleared for you on your birthday and devote the entire day to making you feel special, ensuring you have his full attention.

He cherishes being able to spend your birthday together with you and would carefully pick out your gift.

It would probably be something more expensive that you had your eye on but never bought because you couldn't justify spending that kind of money.

He would like to make it perfect and ensure the gift is unique to you.

He would probably congratulate you first thing in the morning while serving you breakfast in bed and come to you with a bouquet of your favorite flowers.

Also, expect kisses throughout the day and generally a lot of affection.

He doesn't often have the entire day to spend with you, so he wants to fully exploit his this day.

Gekko

He would put a lot of thought and effort into planning your birthday party.

Before planning anything, he would subtly ask you about all your preferences to ensure your day is special and truly enjoyable.

He would probably throw a smaller party for you so you can spend quality time with the people most important to you.

Gekko would gift you something thoughtful and sentimental rather than extravagant.

Maybe he makes something himself and will also probably write you a handwritten letter expressing his feelings for you.

Or he would go in the direction of gifting you something that you both can enjoy together or that holds meaning for your relationship.

He would wake you up sweetly, probably with something from your favorite breakfast spot, and also a lot of cuddling.

In his birthday wishes, he would include his gratitude for having you in his life.

Gekko might also plan a surprise activity during the day that aligns with your hobbies or interests, adding just something extra 

Yoru

He would definitely throw you a big surprise party, aiming for a fun and memorable celebration.

Unlike Gekko, he probably wants to invite as many people as possible to fill your day with excitement and energy.

If you don't want a big party, he'll take you out for a cool outing.

Yoru would probably gift you something unexpected and unconventional, wanting to think out of the box for you.

Despite his playfulness, he would ensure you feel loved and appreciated on your day, giving more compliments than usual and showing a softer side when it really counts.

Sova

Sova is thoughtful when it comes to you, wanting your birthday to be meaningful and special.

Rather than an extravagant party, he would plan a more personal celebration, prioritizing spending time together and creating new memories.

He might also plan a surprise outing to a place you've always wanted to visit or organize a cozy picnic in a beautiful location

He would put a lot of thought into your present, aiming for something that reflects your interests, like a handmade item or a meaningful keepsake.

His birthday wishes would be heartfelt, expressing appreciation for you and the joy you bring into his life.

He might share personal moments you've spent together and express his gratitude.

He would make you feel loved and appreciated, showing kindness and affection throughout the day, not allowing you to lift a finger to show his love through his gestures.

merry christmas, friends!

@derekberrera, @theobrowningfd, @tessaxcolette, @lcrcmcrie, @xreynadel, @aridhingra, @jcksonfields, @drtamarahayes, @xalecjacobs, @xwesjames, @vincexmatthews, @sunnynardelli, @claraquinn, @elisequinn, @ximenaserrano, @kennedyxwarren

So many of you have shown a lot of love and support this year, whether it be helping us with the house early on, the wedding, or just being there during this transition period with Shawn and Cienna, and I'm beyond grateful. I hope that your holiday season is as wonderful as each of you. I've included some wood slice Christmas ornaments, handpainted in the shop, and each of you will receive a keepsake box, handmade by me, each one is unique in color, too. The last gift is a little something that all the kids helped with -- the boys in painting, the girls in adding the decorations. From our family, to yours: Merriest of Christmases.

Cutest blurb🥺

How about Tom made a handmade gift to Y/n like a scrapbook or a jar something like that and Y/n is like 🥺🥺🫶💓💖💖💞🥹

anon, this is so cute 🥺 sorry i'm just now getting to writing your request, i hope you like it!

cleaning out my inbox 💌

tom wasn't the crafty type. everyone who attended the failed paint and wine knew this. he was terrible at art, couldn't even draw a stick figure if he tried.

and beings you were the crafty type, ever since then he was determined to make you something special and 'cute'. he wanted to give you a gift that wasn't store-bought, he wanted something special to give you. something that came from the bottom of his heart.

so he thought of a brilliant idea, a scrapbook.

he had asked his mom for a few pointers beings she had made baby books for him and his brothers when they were younger. she had given him all the tips and tricks he could think of.

he even took notes.

when his mom said that it'd be nice to include things from dates the two of you had went on, his mind immediately went to the keepsake box that you had at the top of your side of the closet, the one where you kept all the photo-booth strips, restaurant receipts, movie and event tickets, everything you could possibly ever think of.

and of course he had asked you if it was okay if he went through the box, wanting to get your approval on what to take and what not to take. you were a little confused as to what he was planning.

"just go through the box and pick," you smiled, "but, can i ask why?"

he grabbed the box from the top shelf before humming back at you as you laid on the bed, "mmm, no reason. just wanna look through. maybe it'd be cute if we put together a collage and hung it up in a picture frame or something."

you furrowed your eyebrows, thankful he couldn't see your confused expression, "yeah, sounds good, babe."

and for the next few nights when you'd wander up to bed to read a few chapters of your book before falling asleep, he'd stay downstairs. in the dimly lit dining room, rummaging through the tickets and photos, picking out how he wanted each page to look. he had even made a special trip to the craft store earlier that morning to pick out stickers, fancy markers and pens, the glue dot runner his mom suggested for the photos and tickets, scrapbook paper, and designed washi tape.

he was excited to get to work. he was even more excited to see your reaction to the finished project.

and after a week and a half, and many 'is this good?' texts to his mom, the scrapbook was completed. just in enough time for your anniversary.

he had ran out and got flowers and your favorite candy to give to you along with his handmade gift. the two of you always kept it simple on your anniversary, beings it was in the middle of valentine's day and his birthday.

when you got home, he was eager to give you your gift. you laughed as he basically ran to you as you opened the door when you got home from work.

"hey," you laughed, "eager to see me?"

"always," he smiled, kissing your forehead sweetly, "come on, i've got a surprise for you."

you didn't even have time to kick off your heels before he was dragging you into the kitchen. he smiled as your eyes landed on the scrapbook, flowers, and candy. immediately 'aww'ing at his gesture.

"aww, tom," you cooed, grabbing the scrapbook from the island, "this is adorable."

the smile never left his face as you flipped through the pages, each page being a different date that the two of you went on. he had made special pages for the tickets you saved to each of the marvel movie premiers you two had gone to together. he even had the pictures he had taken on his phone of the two of you printed out so he could stick them on the spider-man scrapbook paper.

yes, he paid $15 for spider-man scrapbook paper.

the last page of the scrapbook paper was white, lace trimming on the top and bottom. you read the letters over and over again, taking in the detail. there was a diamond ring sticker, along with 4 words in white and black block letters:

'will you marry me?'

you turned to see him on one knee, smiling up at you. you laughed softly, closing the book and putting it back on the island. your vision became blurry the longer you looked at him as he sat on one knee.

"will you marry me, darling?"

you smiled, immediately nodding your head, "do you even have to ask?"

he chuckled, standing as he slipped the ring onto your finger, "is that a yes?"

you leaned up and kissed him, cupping his cheeks in your hands. his cheeks were warm as you took in the smell of his cologne and after shave. it smelled like home.

"a million times yes." you smiled, nose rubbing against his before he leaned back down and kissed you again.

"my fiancée sounds a lot better than girlfriend, huh?" he smiled, brushing a few loose strands of hair away from your face.

"couldn't have said it better myself."

King and Queens

Rhysand + Rheana (See Rheana here)

For @officialrhysandweek

Rhysand week 2024 Masterlist

Day 6: Worlds Axis

Summary: Rhysand and Rheana discover their true heritage that their paternal family buried deep down

Cw: None

Rhysand and Rheana had managed to clean up everything of their parents and sister, kept what mattered to them, and begrudgingly gave away everything else.

The pair carefully packed away items that held sentimental value - paintings, letters, trinkets, and keepsakes. They even found time to preserve memories they shared together, such as recipes for meals cooked by their mother and little crafts their sister did, they would always joke about how she couldn't stick to one, handmade cards created by their father during the rare moments of his love for their mother. Every memento was handled with care and placed securely within boxes marked with their names.

Only one last thing remained, It was a large estate filled with rooms upon rooms of treasures accumulated over generations, something their father had yet to tell them about, Rheana had learned about it in a letter under her parents' bed. It would take days just to go through all of it. Yet, they knew they couldn't keep every single item, some things were simply too valuable or too cumbersome for two young adults to maintain alone.

"What do we do with this?" Rhysand asked, walking through the halls of one of the biggest mansions they had ever seen, surprise filled both the siblings.

As she turned a corner, Rheana's footsteps echoed off the marble floors, not polished in quite a while, the air thick with the scent of old books and wood. She gazed around at the opulent furnishings, gold leaf adorning every surface, crystal chandeliers unlit, covered in cobwebs, and walls lined with tapestries depicting fantastical creatures.

"This," she said, running a hand along the carved armrest of a plush velvet sofa, "is beyond anything our family has ever owned. How did our grandparents acquire such wealth?"

Rhysand joined her, his eyes scanning the room with a mix of awe and trepidation. He'd never seen so much grandeur in one place before. It felt overwhelming, like trying to drink from an aggressive waterfall.

"I don't know," he admitted, "but whatever happened, we can't possibly keep all of this."

Rheana noted an old trunk in the corner of the main halls, with a curious expression, she moved to it, her arm muscles flexed while prying the lock open with her bare hands, inside it were old books, brown and yellow in pages, bound by old leather that was falling apart.

Rhysand walked up behind her, "What is it, sister?"

"Old journals... From... Our ancestors." Rheana said.

Rhysand peered over Rheana's shoulder as she gently opened one of the dusty books. The pages crackled as they turned, revealing handwritten notes in elegant script, accompanied by intricate illustrations of various lands and peoples.

"These look ancient," Rhysand remarked, tracing a finger over a faded map depicting the Night Court's territory centuries ago. "Our ancestors must have been quite the explorers."

Rheana nodded, her brow furrowed in concentration as she scanned the text. "It seems they documented their travels, trade agreements, and interactions with other courts and kingdoms. There's also mention of powerful artifacts and magical beings they encountered along the way."

She paused, her eyes widening as she read further. "Wait, look at this entry from Grandmother Eira. It speaks of a legendary sword, said to grant immense power to its wielder."

The words caused both siblings to exchange glances, filled with intrigue and curiosity. They were no strangers to magic or mythical weapons, having grown up in a world populated by immortal faeries and creatures of all kinds, but this sounded particularly extraordinary.

"There's no record of such a weapon in our family history," Rheana said, flipping through more pages. "Perhaps it was lost or forgotten over time."

"But why would our grandmother make note of it?" Rhysand wondered aloud, leaning closer to examine the delicate handwriting. "Unless she knew someone who possessed it or sought it out herself."

The notion sparked an idea in Rheana's mind. "Maybe there's a clue here about how to find it, or who might still have it today."

As dusk settled over the estate, Rheana and Rhysand continued to pore over the journals, searching for any clues that could lead them to the mysterious weapon. The flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows across the aged parchment, heightening the suspense of their hunt.

Eventually, Rhysand came across another intriguing passage written by Great-Grandmother Azrae, who, according to the texts had been known for her wisdom and strategic prowess. It seemed she had spent years searching for the elusive blade, visiting various temples, ruins, and hidden sanctums throughout Faerie.

"She must've been obsessed with finding it," Rhysand murmured, reading aloud from the journal. "But none of these places sound familiar to me."

"Because these places aren't from Night Court... They're from Hybern..." Rheana whispered, feeling dread, their grandmother and great-grandmother were living in Hybern. They had been all their lives. "I've seen this lake on the maps." Rhysand flipped through the pages, to the maps that now didn't look like the Night court in the slightest, "Our family... They lived there... But how?"

As the gravity of the situation sank in, the siblings fell silent, their gazes glued to the faded ink scrawled across the ancient parchment. They realized they weren't merely dealing with the legacy of two deceased parents or their beloved sister but an entire dynasty rooted deeply in the world of Fae politics and conflict.

"This changes everything," Rhysand finally broke the silence, his voice laced with uncertainty yet determination. "We can't ignore the possibility that whatever secrets our grandparents kept were intertwined with Hybern... Their... Our family."

"We need to keep looking," Rheana replied sternly, her mind racing with questions about her ancestry she hadn't pondered until now. It made sense, the dreading knowledge that a part of their ancestry was connected with Hybern, the daemati abilities their grandmother showed, what their father showed, what they showed. No Fae in Prythian had those abilities, because it wasn't from Prythian, but from the line of kings that ruled Hybern, it was power frequent in their world. She flipped the pages, "Here, look..." She whispered, catching something in one of the pages, it stated how their grandmother had found her mate in a Night Court heir, she turned more pages, "This must be when she fell in love with grandfather... She was pregnant with father in less than 3 years... That's almost unheard of, no one concieves this early."

Rhysand leaned in closer as Rheana pointed to the entries detailing their grandmother's life, his heart pounding with anticipation. Each word, each stroke of the quill, painted a picture of a woman caught between worlds, torn between loyalty to her birthright and love for a man from a rival land.

He felt a shiver run down his spine as he realized the depth of his own connection to Hybern, not just through his parents but through his very own bloodline. The weight of that knowledge settled heavily upon him, a burden he wasn't sure he was prepared to carry.

"What does it say?" Rhysand asked softly, his voice tinged with reverence for the woman whose legacy now entwined their own destinies.

Rheana's eyes widened as she read further, her breath hitching. "It says… No..."

"No what?" Rhysand asked urgently, noticing the shock and horror etched onto his sister's face.

"Father was... We are..." Rheana shut the book. There was so much they didn't know about their families, what made them as powerful as they were, but their grandmother being from Hybern, they were probably related to the king distantly and their grandfather being the descendant of the most powerful Lordd of their time, they were bound to be powerful. It was their destiny. "We never really learned where our grandmother came from... She was next in line... She gave up the crown to be with grandfather."

Rhysand stared at Rheana, his mind reeling from the implications of her words. Their family tree, once thought to be relatively simple, had suddenly branched out into a tangled web of royal lineage and ancient rivalries. The pieces began to fall into place - their parents' untimely deaths, the whispers of dark magic, the sheer power that radiated from within the walls of the Night Court estate.

Rhysand looked at the house they were in with a different light, trying to find answers to the new questions that emerged, avoiding the easiest answer that was waving at his face, refusing their relation to Hybern, and the magic they showed.

[primamchorus]

Does your OC carry a lucky charm of some sort?  What makes them think it’s lucky?  Or do they not believe in luck, yet find themselves unable to part with it all the same?

hihi, valdiis! thank you so much for the ask! ; w ; / ♥ i hope that you've been having as good a time as possible, and that the holidays have been, overall, kind to you.

Winter Greenery OC Questions

primam has three; two of them are from prompto, one of them is from her twin brother. primam also has several ribbons that she wears from mollis, but she wouldn't consider those 'lucky charms'.

the first one is a two-piece moogle brooch that was received for her sixteenth birthday from prompto. the second is an actually really cheap butterfly necklace (~¥3k? / $20? probably?) that prompto got for her at a butterfly garden exhibit he and prim went to when it opened. she doesn't care that it was a cheap charm, she loves it because it's a butterfly and prompto got it for her (she didn't ask for it; he just knows she likes butterflies...and moogles).

the third piece is a handmade, crude assortment of black leather bracelets all turned into one cuff of a piece. it has a phoenix down charm that hangs from it. i'm going to tentatively link the ellipsus document where primam gets it, but i will say ellipsus has been crashing on me constantly all day today, so...if it's giving errors...sorry.

as for what makes them lucky...? the brooch and the necklace were given to her by the person she has a crush on, and they're both of things she is fond of. she believes both are auspicious images, and so keeps them with her to boost her luck. as for the bracelet, tandem's words stuck with her about the phoenix down charms: "I wanted to make you something like a protection charm. Y'know…cos who protects us at the end of the day?"

she knows that phoenix downs are rare items fabled to raise the dead. so...it means a lot to her that he would want her to live.

from mollis, tandem has a pressed four-leaf clover. she believed it was lucky, and she gave it to tandem after she found it saying that she wanted him to find a stroke of luck. since having it, he's preserved it in resin and pressed it into a leather bracelet for himself that is usually hidden by the sleeves of his shirts, or tucked under his gloves.

there is this unused locket that tandem has. he's not sure what to do with it, but he kinda...just has it? he can't really explain why he keeps it. there's nothing he wants to put in it. something he found while fishing at one point. maybe thought he would melt it down and make something else out of it, but...never got around to it, and now he just...keeps it?

mollis has a hawk feather -- not a big one by any means. it's more of a small down feather that was just in really nice shape. she keeps it in her sniper rifle case because it's something that's small that makes her happy.

other than that, mollis also has this music box from her girlfriend -- a special commission for her birthday with an original composition written by said girlfriend. the song is about the turning of the seasons and the beauty of each. mollis can't help but sometimes sing softly alongside it the lyrics that she knows. because of how small the music box is, she does sometimes carry it with her.

like noctis, ros has his own carbuncle carving. instead of being cut from smaragdine material, ros' carbuncle statuette is carved from more garnent material. supposedly, this carbuncle statuette is meant to promote strength and protection. similarly to noctis, ros tends to keep this with him. as it stands, it's said that each carbuncle statuette were originally within the viridis possession. now one is in the hands of the royal family while the other remains with noble house viridis.

aestus doesn't often keep keepsakes on hand -- makes himself too much of a liability when out and about should anyone get a hold of them. there are things he treasures and keeps at home, though. one thing he does have comes from stella when they got to know one another during their youth when the nox fleuret family was permitted to visit lucis at the time. she gifted him a sylleblossom charm that, at the time, he wasn't sure what to do with. he still isn't quite sure what to do with it, but it is kept safe.

once upon a frostbearer's blessing, vera wanted to put the shiva ornament on top of the tannenbaum. she dropped it by accident, and its arm broke off. her family went to get a new one, and she protested them throwing it out. vera has kept this frostbearer blessing ornament and even patched up the shiva arm -- not perfectly, but enough for her to want to keep it. it's been almost eighteen years, but she's kept that shiva ornament in her room and now on her desk. she believes that because she helped to fix it that it keeps her good luck.

she also now has a cloak from aestus, specially tailored by those that make the crownsguard attire. the cloak is lightweight and magic resistant, offering protection. vera has this on its own mannequin in her room, but she does not often wear it. she has, in fact, only started wearing it after the fall of insomnia. the only other time before that was to see if it fit.

lyra doesn't have much that she particularly treasures or has a bunch of sentiment attached to. the closest she's got is probably the doe pendant given to her by her brother before he left to gralea for work. she does wear it often, usually forgetting to take it off even when she goes to bed.

otherwise, there's a comb that lyra has from ros that is for special events. it's made of ivory and has emerald inlaid gemstones. it is carved with the shapes of roses upon it. lyra doesn't wear it, but when she does, it's always for special occasions like parties, galas, and other formal events.

nebula has bff friendship bracelets with iris of house amicitia, and aura of house leonis. :> nebula's bracelet has two charms; one with irises on it, the other with a resin cast aurora. iris and aura's charms have a charm with stars on it along with the corresponding charms that indicate the other two. nebula treasures her friendships with iris and aura, because as it stands, there are not many kids / teens within the 114th.

while nebula doesn't necessarily think it's lucky, nor does she think she's ready for it quite yet, she does have a dagger that aestus gave her before he left. she, like aestus, hopes she never has to use it, but she keeps it close in case she has to -- now more than ever since insomnia has fallen.

✨️ Tag Game Masterpost ✨️

Got tagged in so many amazing things by so many precious humans while I was away, thank you all so much for thinking of me! 🥰🫶

----

First up, @mishervellous, @creepkinginc, @energievie, @tanktopgallavich and @look-i-love-u tagged me to complete this wonderful Tag Game Tuesday created by our beloved @celestialmickey!

Please address me as: Lyds 💙

How many countries have you lived in? Two (one main one and the other for a few months)

States/provinces? Two (one in each country)

Cities/towns? Two (same as above)

Homes? Two (only counting long-term ones that are deserving of the name)

Road trip or long-haul flight? I'm used to and love road trips, but would prefer to go on a plane right now as it's been 14 years since my last flight.

On the spectrum of hoarder to minimalist, where do you fall? I'm a maximalist, so... organized hoarder? 😅

Do you have a keepsake box/bin/bag and if so, what’s in it? I have two, a box with old letters and photos from dear people, the other is a chest with handmade cards from my husband, we gifted them to each other every month for 3 years and it's overflowing at this point.

If you could live anywhere, where would you live? While living on the seaside with the mountains two hours away is not bad, I'd like to be closer to the cooler, foresty part of my country, also anything in the Scandinavian region seems very appealing.

Favorite place in your home? It changes frequently, right now it's my office corner with my baroque style desk and memo board full of inspiring, queer stuff on it ���

Finally, what’s your current favorite item in your home? A tiny, antique, Viennese furnace I got from my grandparents', it's chipped in places and needs a paint job but I love putting LED tealights in it and watching it glow, especially during the holidays.

Next, I was tagged by @mishervellous and @ian-galagher to make this sweet picrew!

Lounging at home and thinking of all of you 😍

----

Last but not least, @mishervellous, @creepkinginc and @look-i-love-u tagged me to play this Screenshot Game!

Rules: post a screencap of your lock screen photo, a screencap of the last/current song listened to, as well as the last photo of a celebrity that you saved in your phone.

My bunny, my ringtone and my current crush 🤗

I'm super late and feeling a little overwhelmed with getting back into the groove, so I'll skip tagging this time, however if you see this and would like to complete any or all of these, please do! Love and good vibes to all 💙✨️

"Timeless and Unique Wedding Photography Ideas to Elevate Your Album"

Creative Wedding Photo Ideas to Make Your Album Stand Out

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and capturing those moments beautifully can make your memories last forever. While traditional poses are timeless, adding creative flair to your wedding photos can make your album unique. Here are some innovative wedding photo ideas to inspire you. 

1. The First Look Drama

Capture the emotional moment when the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day. Use creative angles, reflections, or even silhouette lighting to make this shot stand out.

2. Play with Shadows and Silhouettes

Take advantage of the natural light during sunset or use artificial lighting to create dramatic shadow and silhouette effects. This approach can add a touch of romance and mystery to your photos.

3. Incorporate Drones

For a bird’s-eye view, consider using a drone to capture aerial shots of your venue, ceremony, or even a dramatic kiss beneath the wide-open sky. This is particularly stunning for outdoor or destination weddings.

4. Reflection Shots

Utilize mirrors, puddles, or glass surfaces to create beautiful reflection shots. This technique adds depth and an artistic twist to your wedding album.

5. The Veil Shot

The bride’s veil can be used creatively for soft, dreamy portraits. Have your photographer play with the veil’s flow and transparency to frame intimate moments.

6. Include Your Furry Friends

If you have pets, let them join the fun! Capture moments where they interact with the couple,

7. Get Candid with the Kids

Children at weddings bring an undeniable charm. Whether they’re flower girls, ring bearers, or just guests, candid moments of kids being themselves can add an endearing element to your photos.

8. Confetti and Smoke Bombs

Bright pops of colour from confetti or smoke bombs can turn ordinary shots into vibrant works of art. Coordinate the colours to match your wedding theme for a cohesive look.

9. Go Vintage

Incorporate vintage props like an old car, antique furniture, or retro cameras to create a nostalgic vibe. Sepia or black-and-white filters can further enhance this style.

10. Rainy Day Magic

Don’t let a rainy day dampen your spirits. Embrace the weather with umbrellas, rain boots, or even a romantic kiss in the rain. Raindrops and reflections can make for incredibly romantic photos.

11. Personalized Backdrops

Create a custom backdrop that reflects your personality as a couple. Whether it’s a wall of your favourite books, a floral installation, or neon signs, this adds a unique touch to your photos.

12. Adventure Shots

If you’re an adventurous couple, incorporate activities like hiking, biking, or boating into your photo session. These dynamic shots will showcase your shared interests and add a fun twist to your album.

13. First Dance Glow

Capture your first dance with dramatic lighting or sparklers. Slow shutter speeds can create a dreamy motion blur that adds a magical feel to the moment.

14. Family HeirloomsIncorporate meaningful family heirlooms into your photos, like a vintage ring, a special piece of jewellery, or a handmade quilt. These elements can tell a deeper story about your union.

15. Laugh It Out

Candid laughter often makes the most memorable photos. Encourage your photographer to capture moments of joy, whether it’s during speeches, the first look, or a fun group photo.

Final Thoughts

Your wedding photos should reflect your personality, love story, and the joy of your special day. Collaborate closely with your photographer, share these ideas, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. With a little creativity, your wedding album will not only stand out but also become a cherished keepsake for years to come.
