About this video:
In this wedding photography tutorial I'm sharing my step-by-step process for how to photograph wedding invitation flat lays in a light and airy photography style!
Improving your wedding detail photos - from the invitation suite, to all the stationary and paper goods and bridal getting ready details on a wedding day is an amazing way to elevate your portfolio. It can also help get your work featured in high-end blogs and magazines, which is one of the best forms of free marketing for a wedding photography business! So, if you're wanting to improve your photography, get better details AND book more weddings, I've created this flat lay wedding photography tutorial just for you! In it we'll shoot and style 3 unique wedding invitation suites together, showcasing how to style with a grid layout vs styling invitations in a more organic style. :)

QOTD: What style of invitation flat lays do you like better, traditional grid-based or organic?
I love both and it's really helpful seeing both layouts with the same invitation set! But if I had to choose, I think the organic flat lay is my favorite. 😊
It was an amazing video, thank you so much!
It’s beautiful!
Loved this! Lots of great tips.
Thank you! So helpful!
Love it
Thank you for all of your videos! I’ve learned so much.
Beautiful! Thanks to you and your gorgeous furry assistant :)
Thanks girl! And Bella says thanks too! :)
The furry assistant works so hard at being cute, it exhausts her.

So beautiful Chelsea! Love how airy and balanced the light is on the flat lays. Thanks so much for sharing! 💫
Thanks so much Ryne!! ♡
Your tutorials are so helpful and flat lays are beautiful!! May I ask where you get your ring dishes from? I like how yours seem to come in a set of smaller and larger size dishes.
Hi Chelsea, Love this video! Actually all of them! I have a question, which lens do you normally use for shooting flat lays? Have a great weekend!
great photography tutorial, nice video!
Thanks Xiaoru! 🤗
@@ChelseaNicole welcome to my channel!
I love ALL the styles. So cool that you showed different stylings with very different designs with ways of making them much more rich than the standard stuff you usually see.
Thanks so much xeler8r! I wanted to showcase a few different ways of styling for you guys! I'm so glad you liked it. :)
I continue to be captivated and inspired by your work! These flat lay techniques and styles are dreamy! I love that these tips can also be applied to photographing other objects too! I like all styles for different reasons, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with the grid (bc OCD 😂). Thanks for sharing yet again Chels! 👏📸💖
Thank you so much love!! ♡♡♡ And I hear you on the OCD-ness 😂
Hello your video is so helpful. Thank you! Where do you purchase your styling boards for weddings?
Love your works. Where can I buy those ring dish?
Amazing....☻︎☻︎☻︎
Did you create your background? From the video where you show how to create one
❤😍😍😍
What lens do you use for shooting the flatlay? The only thing that I've like to use that I have so far is my 50mm
Do you take these the day of the wedding or before?
Is there any chance you could do a video on how to layout and photograph letterpress invite. I have notice that so many photographer have no idea how to capture that 2 demential look of letterpress as it impresses into the paper. I am a letterpress printer and designer for letterpress and greeting cards and I always struggle with photographing them the right way to show off how beautiful the paper and impression that is uniquely letterpress.
Hi there, thanks so much for sharing this 😊 What kind of background do you usually use? From where do you buy the backdrops? Thanks so much!
I made my own backdrop for $15 on my YT channel :) No painting or nailing!
Hey! Where can i find those acrylic pieces ?
Wat camera do u use
Hi Chelsea, Can you make a video about your youtube video's lighting? What do u use? Is it all natural light?
Hey Enas! Yep, I use mostly natural window light + a ring light on low, just to brighten me up my face a bit in some videos. Using mostly natural light for video has its benefits and drawbacks - biggest drawback being limitations in when/how long I can film for. I love the idea of doing a video sharing tips on using window light. It totally applies to both photography and video creators. :)
@@ChelseaNicole thank you so much for your reply 😊
Thank you but you dont need to use the same color fonts together like the product and backround to flash the product.
Where can I find back drops
Do you get all these elements and invites days in advance to shoot or do you collect the day of to photograph and style?
Hey Eric! For a wedding, if possible I like to collect a photographer copy of the invitation suite in advance (one less thing for the couple to think about that day) - but I photograph it and their other getting ready details (shoes, rings, jewelry, and any other special details) the morning of the wedding. Or, sometimes if there’s not sufficient time I’ll bring some fresh florals home, put it in my fridge to help preserve it and capture more of the invite the day after.
Hi there, Chelsea! This is so so inspiring! 😍 Could you tell me please which lense do you usually use for those beauties? And what aperture? Thank you in advance!
so would i bring my own little backdrops like you were using? isn’t it best to incorporate the venue?
Hey Alexis, I love using elements within the venue if they match the aesthetic of the wedding - but this isn’t always the case. Many times the hotel room may have patterned carpet, chairs, etc. that aren’t aligned the style your client hired you for or the style of their wedding. And it then becomes a game of crossing your fingers hoping you get something good to work with. By taking the extra step of bringing a styling kit, it puts the control back in your hands ensuring you can create consistent, beautiful images no matter what. :)
@@ChelseaNicole thankyou! 😊
Do you have a checklist or full collection of images from one flat lay you can share? I get lost with how many angles and details you can photograph and don’t know that all of them actually serve the client well. When do you know you’ve got what you need?
Great question!! I love this idea. But as a quick answer - for invitation photos, I usually get a few shots of my main setup as top down both vertical and horizontal, then move in for a handful of closeup / couple different angles. You don’t really need a ton, just a few for variety and to showcase the different pieces (ie: reply card, etc.) If it’s a really cool invitation suite and I have time sometimes I’ll also break a couple of the key elements off (ex: the main invite by itself or save the date) & style then separate. But that’s bonus. :)
please link your couch I love it
Thank you! It's from West Elm :)
No offense, but you rule!
YOU rule!
