When forever looks this beautiful. 🕊️✨

Documenting Andrew & Jessica’s wedding day felt like watching a classic romance movie come to life. From the quiet, intentional glances shared during their portraits to the pure, uncontained joy of walking out as husband and wife, every single moment was overflowing with grace and elegance. Some connections are just written in the stars, and these two are living proof.

Your bridal bouquet goes through a lot on your wedding day—from morning prep and family photos to being held tight during the ceremony and passed around at the reception. It’s a lot of time out of water!

To keep your florals looking crisp, hydrated, and absolutely flawless for every single photo, here are 5 clever hacks to keep them fresh:

1. ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀɪᴅᴇꜱᴍᴀɪᴅꜱ' ᴛᴀʙʟᴇ ᴛʀɪᴄᴋ

Have your coordinator place empty, water-filled vases at the head table or the reception entrance. The second your grand entrance is over, your bouquet (and your bridesmaids' bouquets) can go straight into water, pulling double duty as beautiful decor while staying completely hydrated.

2. ɢᴜᴀʀᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴇᴍꜱ (ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴏᴡᴇʟ ʜᴀᴄᴋ)

When you do take your bouquet out of its vase for photos, always keep a clean, dry towel nearby. Dabbing the bottom of the stems prevents water droplets from dripping all over your stunning dress when you lift it up.

3. ᴀᴘᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴀ "ʙᴏᴜQᴜᴇᴛ ʙᴏᴅʏɢᴜᴀʀᴅ"

Assign one of your bridesmaids or a content creator to be the official keeper of the flowers. Their only job? To pop your bouquet back into its water vase the absolute second a photo session wraps up so it isn't left lying around on dry surfaces.

4. ᴍɪꜱᴛ, ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴅʀᴇɴᴄʜ

Ask your florist if your specific blooms prefer a light misting. Keeping a small spray bottle of cool water in the bridal suite can work wonders for waking up delicate petals right before you walk down the aisle.

5. ꜱᴛᴇᴇʀ ᴄʟᴇᴀʀ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴇᴀᴛ

It sounds obvious, but weddings get busy! Keep your bouquet out of direct sunlight, away from warm stage lights, and far from any air-conditioning vents while you’re getting ready. Cool, shaded spots are a flower's best friend.

A "Week in the Life" or an absolute endurance sport? You decide. 🫠📸

If you’ve ever wondered what a full-throttle week looks like at Ruth & Co, we’ve broken down our recent schedule into numbers for you:

* 6 major events in a single week—spanning from an Old Mutual Prize Giving and a gorgeous engagement shoot, straight into a marathon of weddings.
* 7 different stunning venues conquered (Eensgezind, Eden Forest, Goedgeleven, Riviersonderend, Elandskloof, Rondekuil, and Nantes).
* 1 destination wedding thrown into the mix just to keep things spicy.
* 8–10 hours per day of non-stop shooting, holding heavy gear, and performing accidental cardio.
* An infinite loop of "edit, edit, edit..." happening behind the scenes to deliver full films, highlight reels, content creation, and photography. Featuring a cute kitty (obviously!)

We’re fueled entirely by high-energy playlists, an alarming amount of caffeine (shoutout to - you guys really kept us going😭) and the pure joy of capturing your best days.

Now, if you need us, we’ll be under a cozy blanket attempting to hibernate until our next 10-hour day! 🥂✨

Its been a while since we've done a decor appreciation post. We love a good table setup, so we've rounded up some of our favourites for the year so far. 💫

Let’s be honest—wedding days are filled with endless inspiration for the bride, but the grooms deserve their main-character moment too. 🙌🏼 Groom prep is one of our absolute favorite parts of the day to document. It’s a mix of anticipation, quiet focus, and sharp, timeless style.

If you are a groom-to-be who feels completely awkward in front of a camera, don't worry. You don’t need to be a professional model to look effortlessly sophisticated.

Here are 5 easy, hands-on posing tips for your groom prep portraits:

1. ᴛʜᴇ ᴅʏɴᴀᴍɪᴄ ᴅᴇᴛᴀɪʟ ᴀᴅᴊᴜꜱᴛᴍᴇɴᴛ

If you never know what to do with your hands, give them a job. Take a moment to adjust your shirt cuffs, fasten your watch, or button your jacket. Looking down intentionally at your hands while doing this— it creates a completely natural, candidly focused portrait.

2. ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴀᴘᴇʟ ʜᴏʟᴅ

For a classic, structured look, stand near a light source and gently grip the lapels or the edge of your suit jacket. Keeping your hands raised to your chest breaks up the straight lines of your torso and adds instant, modern confidence to the frame.

3. ᴛʜᴇ ᴡɪɴᴅᴏᴡ ꜱᴛᴀʀᴇ

When in doubt, look away from the lens. Stand in profile or at a slight angle next to a window and look out into the distance. Whether you choose to look out with a soft smile or hold a quiet, contemplative expression, the natural side-lighting will effortlessly highlight the sharp tailoring of your suit.

4. ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴘᴀᴜꜱᴇ

You don't have to spend the entire photoshoot standing. Lean forward slightly while seated on a couch or chair, resting your forearms on your knees and loosely clasping your hands together. Taking an overhead angle for this shot creates an incredibly relaxed, editorial mood.

5. ɪɴᴄᴏʀᴘᴏʀᴀᴛᴇ ᴀ ᴍᴏʀɴɪɴɢ ᴛᴏᴀꜱᴛ

Bring an activity into the room to take the pressure off. Pouring a drink or holding a glass near a window gives you a natural prop to interact with. It lets you capture the slow, quiet atmosphere of the morning before the rush of the ceremony begins.

Grooms, your wedding day story is just as important. Take a deep breath, rely on these simple movements, and let us handle the rest. 🥂💼
