For couples looking to ensure their wedding day detail photos are captured beautifully, here are some helpful tips:

1. Prepare Your Details in Advance: Gather all the items you want photographed, including the rings, invitation suite, bridal attire, shoes, jewelry, bouquets, and any other meaningful accessories, and place them in one location for easy access.

2. Communicate with Your Photographer: Share your vision and preferences with your photographer ahead of time. Discuss specific details you want to highlight and any sentimental items you'd like included in the photos.

3. Keep Everything Neat and Tidy: Arrange your details thoughtfully and keep them organized. Ensure your bridal suite is clutter-free and designate a clean, well-lit area for detail shots. This helps your photographer capture images that are visually appealing and cohesive.

4. Consider Personal Touches: Incorporate personal touches that reflect your unique style and story. This could include heirloom jewelry, custom-made accessories, or special mementos that hold sentimental value.

5. Don't Forget About Groom Details: While the focus is often on the bride's details, don't forget to gather important items for the groom as well, such as his attire, shoes, cufflinks, and any meaningful accessories.

6. Allow Ample Time: Avoid rushing through this part of the day to ensure your photographer has the opportunity to capture all the important elements.

7. Trust Your Photographer's Expertise: Your photographer is experienced in capturing wedding day details and knows how to showcase them in the best possible light. Trust their creativity and expertise.

8. Relax and Enjoy the Process: Take a moment to appreciate all the thought and effort that went into planning each detail of your wedding day. Relax, enjoy the excitement of getting ready, and trust that your photographer will capture these special moments with care and artistry.

By following these tips and working closely with your photographer, you can ensure that your wedding day detail photos are beautifully captured, preserving the memories of your special day for a lifetime.

We're still buzzing from all the fun we had this past weekend at SWE! 🥂

Check out what this years attendees & vendors said:

"We thought the event was extremely well run, and the marketing before the show was phenomenal. It felt like great exposure and we made a lot of connections with both couples and other wedding professionals." - Maurissa, SWE 2024 Vendor

"Super cool seeing all the vendors and getting to see JX in "event mode" instead of empty." - Justyne, SWE 2024 Attendee

"Beautiful venue, beautiful city and such a great place to host a celebration wedding or otherwise." - Jen, SWE 2024 Vendor

"The energy is always high and positive. Obviously the venue is beautiful. The couples are high intent and not just looking for free stuff like other wedding shows. The three hour show feels perfect, not too long and not too short. I thought the fashion show was a nice touch this year too. And of course the JX team :) " - Dan, SWE 2024 Vendor

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The moment we toured JX we knew we had to book it for our wedding. Downtown Stillwater is quaint and JX so elegant. The natural brick, tons of natural lighting through the windows, and chandeliers that make this place so unique and unlike any other venue we toured.

We opted for the VIP package with JX and it was worth every penny. We had no clue where to start with the wedding planning process and we truly thought at times that we didn’t know how we’d pull it off. However, having Emily as our expert planner made the planning process so seamless for us. We booked almost all of their preferred vendors, which made our day come together flawlessly. Emily is used to working with their preferred vendors and we truly didn’t worry for a minute that things wouldn’t work out. We trusted Emily with every aspect of our day and it turned out perfectly.

I’m a very indecisive person, struggle with making decisions and Emily was always so flexible with us.

We aren’t from the Stillwater area or had much of a connection to it before our wedding, but we certainly do now. We have returned multiple times since our wedding to visit restaurants, or even events that JX has hosted. Emily and team truly make you feel like you’re a part of their JX family every time you return.

We could not recommend JX venue and the VIP experience enough. It made our wedding truly perfect, and we wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10 recommend!" -JX Bride & Groom, Barb & Pete
