To create captivating layflat photos, you need the right tools. First and foremost, invest in a variety of chasing stone mats. These mats come in various colors and textures, allowing you to match them perfectly with the wedding's theme and colors. Additionally, consider expanding your prop collection. While you don't need to go as overboard as I have, having a variety of props such as ring boxes and invitation suites can enhance your photos. You can find exquisite props from vendors like Champagne and Grit.
When styling your wedding flat lay photos, it's essential to think about color coordination and complementary elements and if you want natural light wedding detail photos. Consider the wedding's color scheme and choose props that harmonize with it. For instance, if you have a pink invitation suite, select props like veils or shoes in shades of pink or complementary colors like blue.
After capturing your flat lay photography, it's time to bring them to life in post-processing. Start by applying your preferred preset or editing style to establish a consistent look and feel across all images. Pay close attention to details such as highlights and shadows especially when photographing flash photography flat lay wedding photos with the Canon R6 Mark II camera settings for wedding photography. You may need to adjust these to maintain balance and clarity, especially in photos that feature both dark and light elements.
Mastering wedding layflat photography takes time and practice, but with the right tools, thoughtful styling, attention to lighting, and post-processing finesse, you can elevate your wedding detail photography to new heights. Remember that each wedding is unique, and adapting your approach to suit the couple's style is key to creating memorable images for natural light wedding photography using the Canon R6 Mark II for wedding photography.
Loved using my chasing stone mats for these flat lay wedding detail invitation photos with the Canon r6ii.

You are so creative. Very inspiring. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you so much!
I love these tutorials where you talk through an actual shoot and the post edit. Super helpful and very watchable. I like that you admit to mistakes. It makes me feel better knowing it still happens to pros.😂
I have the same flash accessory kit. I love the diffuser and grid but haven’t used the barn door yet. I’m encouraged to try it now as I liked the effect you achieved.
So happy it’s helpful for you! Would love if you could share with any wedding groups you’re in ☺️
Haha and yeah we all make mistakes!!
Flat lays of details are definitely where I struggle on a wedding day. Getting balance in composition and colours seem to elude me. I'm working on it, and I know I'll get there. Especially with videos like this to help! Thanks VJ!
Hope this helps! I have longer version with more igniting variations coming out on photo insiders soon!
love the content, always learning something useful.
Awesome, thank you!
First! Another good guide!
Glad you think so!
I'm excited for this. Just clicked, and I constantly go back and forth between whether I should do natural light or flash, and I've finally decided on flash. Curious to see where you land!
Both! ☺️
Fantastic tutorial. Never felt a need to get barn doors for my A1X until now.
Haha they’re quite fun
Very good tips on post production.
Happy you liked them!
Love this Vanessa ty!!!! How do you size your photos? I just size my proofs all as 5x7 then change as needed when ordering . I see you edited one then hit previous. Are you syncing the photos that way so they are all the same or do you use the sync button when wanting certain shots to look the same? Ty
I export at max resolution :-) I just used previous in this case since it was easiest going from one to the next - but if I were doing bulk I would sync them
Have you ever used an ND gel to cut down flash power? Like, if you wanted just a kiss of light in a certain area on a detail shot, etc.
Not I haven’t ☺️ it’s an option for sure if the lowest power setting isn’t doing it for ya!
Great vid! Do you find this process being the same on a carpeted floor vs. hardwood flooring?
It’s pretty much the same if you have a good layflat mat
informative content.
Yay thanks!
I must admit I never heard the term “flat lay,” so the video title threw me for a bit. We generally called it shooting the accessories.
Haha and I usually call it a “group detail photo” or lay flat - and then no one ever knows what I’m talking about 😂
Hello Vanessa. Congrats for your excellent channel and videos, we love it. Quick question for you. What STABILIZER MODE are you using (1-2-3) when you are shooting weddings? Thanks in advance.
I’m going to go ahead and assume 1 because I’ve never changed it to anything else
Haha! Great. And your pictures are fantastic... so 1 it is ;)))@@VanessaJoy

Do the Chasing Stone flat lays travel easily? More specifically, are they easy to unroll, lay flat, use, and then roll up again?
Yup! They’re great. Have a case any everything
@@VanessaJoy - No chance you have a n affiliate link, is there? :)
Do the brides let you bring this stuff home or do you take all these props to the wedding?
I bring it and and sometimes brides have a few things. I’ll always work with what my bride has first
c'mon that's just ridiculou,s how are you going to take all those things to weddings, someone has to draw the line. its a no no for me
I don’t take allllll of it. I ask what their wedding colors are beforehand and take what will match ☺️ usually it fits right into my camera bag
