When you shoot enough weddings, you start to notice the little things that set each one apart. Sure, there’s beauty in the big moments—but what really sticks with me are the unexpected, personal touches that make a celebration feel truly one-of-a-kind. More and more, I’ve seen couples bring their own flair to the day—not just in colors or décor, but in ways that reflect their personalities, passions, and shared stories.
One of my favorites recently was the wedding of T & T, who fully embraced their love of Pokémon. From a custom Snorlax-themed seating chart to Pikachu plushies dressed for the occasion, every little detail made guests smile—and honestly, it made me smile too. Their officiant even wore a Pokémon headband while walking them through their vows, which added a layer of fun and warmth that can’t be faked. It was a celebration that didn’t take itself too seriously yet still carried the weight of all the love in the world.
In another wedding, A & E’s, the bride and her bridesmaids incorporated their beloved Labubu plush keychains during their getting-ready photos. I think we’ve all witnessed the absolute chokehold that Popmart figures can have on a person, and this wedding was no different. The energy that each bridesmaid carried for their individual labubus was infectious (almost made me consider buying one for myself), and together they created a colorful, whimsical lineup that felt personal and playful. These weren’t just accessories—they were symbols of friendship, shared memories, and inside jokes that made the morning even more special to photograph.
These kinds of details don’t just make weddings more photogenic—they make them more real. They’re a reflection of the couple’s story, their shared passions, and the community around them. Whether it’s through fandoms, collectibles, or clever little nods to their relationship, these unique touches are what turn a great wedding into an unforgettable one.
If you’re planning your wedding and wondering how to make it truly your own, don’t be afraid to let your personality lead the way. As someone who’s had the honor of capturing these moments, I can tell you—those small, quirky choices? They often become the most cherished memories.
