Essentials for a wedding day survival kit

I have photographed over 100 weddings and my number one used item in my survival kit is my scissors. They have been used to cut off tags, trim strings, remake boutonnieres, and many other things….

My first wedding I shot was as a second photographer, and it was that day when I heard a bridesmaid looking for scissors, I decided I always wanted to be the one with the solutions…… so, since then, I have always carried a mini wedding day survival kit at every wedding I shoot! I have never used all the items at one wedding thankfully, but at every wedding I have be able to offer something!
