THE EMERGENCY KIT
Weddings are magical, but they can also be unpredictable! As a photographer, being prepared for anything is key to capturing those perfect moments, which is why a wedding emergency kit is an absolute must. It’s like having a superhero sidekick—ready to swoop in when something goes wrong.
From a broken button to a last-minute wardrobe malfunction or even spilled coffee on a dress, the emergency kit holds the answers. A typical kit includes essentials like safety pins, stain removers, extra batteries, charging cables, a lint roller, and even a small sewing kit. These items ensure that nothing derails the day’s schedule or causes a missed shot.
What makes the wedding emergency kit so lovable is that it’s a photographer’s secret weapon. It’s not just about fixing things—it’s about keeping the couple relaxed and focused on enjoying their big day. The kit helps prevent those small disasters from turning into big ones and ensures that every moment is captured flawlessly.
You’ll never know when you’ll need it, but when you do, you’ll be thankful it’s there! Below I'll go over what's in my kit! I personally bring mine along for both wedding and engagement sessions.
