Planning a Sparkler exit? Here are some things to think about!

• Check with your venue! Not every venue wants the liability.
• Make sure you purchase the extra-long sparklers to ensure lots of photo-taking time.
  
• Have SEVERAL lighters or mini torches on hand and light a few sparklers at a time in a bunch.
• Light at the bottom so they will burn up and not down while everyone is getting lined up.
  
• Run, walk, dip, piggyback, all the things, multiple times! Have fun with it and give your photographer multiple opportunities to get shots. It’s dark and you are moving. The more we get to shoot the better!
  
• *Bonus tip * is your photographer scheduled to leave before the end of the night? Do a faux send-off with just your bridal party and a few family members while the party carries on inside.
  

Tyler and his grandfather are best friends. When covid kept his grandparents from attending his wedding last year Tyler was crushed. They knew they couldn't make up the lost time together, but they came up with the next best thing to make sure memories were captured! A family formal redo! When Jenna reached out to me about this idea I thought it was the GREATEST thing! Just shy of their first anniversary, they had her bouquet remade, got all dressed up again and met me out at a local park. It was so fun to not only capture these special images of them with Tyler's grandparents, but to also get some special ones of his grandparents together as well. Covid unfortunately has stolen so many would-be-memories from so many, and I am so happy Tyler and Jenna went above and beyond to make sure these would still be captured <3
