I always get so excited when my brides send me an invitation or a "save the date" in the mail prior to a wedding day. Generally the design of the cards will start inspiring me on what the look and feel of the day as a whole will be. Either way, even if I don't get a sneak peek, I will request that a copy of the invitation be brought on a wedding day (if at all possible). Additionally, if the invitation is left at home, I will also request a copy to be mailed to me after the big day. 

Why do I do this? Well, each couple spends time and energy making the details of their wedding day tell a complete story and for many guests, the invitation in the mail in the first peek at what the day will reveal. It is an important piece of the puzzle that I feel should be included in the wedding story that I keep and that I help savor for the bride and groom. 

That being said, on your wedding day, talk to you photographer about your invitation and don't forget to keep memories of EACH piece of your wedding puzzle. <3
