Keeping the Groom Well Groomed | A Tribute to the Guys

Keeping the Groom Well Groomed

This is her day right? Oh man…. that phrase drives us nuts! We fully believe this is an important day for the groom too – in fact, we’re big supporters of guys being involved in their wedding planning – Josh was really involved in ours. Fun Fact: Around 40% of our initial inquiries come from the groom

We see you, and we know that you’re just as important as your bride. In honor of that, we decided to do a post to highlight the guys – from their important people, to the little guys, to the more masculine ring shots, shoes, and more, we rounded up a few shots from the last couple of years. 

We also wanted to take a moment to highlight one of our absolute favorite vendors that caters to the men – on site – at your wedding. We’re talking about none other than Tied Knot Gentlemen’s Grooming! If you’ve not heard about this awesome company, you should check them out. Alex, the owner, is fantastic to work with and not only makes you feel your best but makes you feel incredibly comfortable, too. We’ve included a short video of her working, and several photos from a recent shoot in this post. She keeps the groom and his groomsmen looking sharp!

We’re also including a few other awesome vendor shout outs – from suits and tuxedos you can rent or buy (we recommend buying – and we can tell you who to stay away from, too), a cigar vendor that you can buy your guys a gift or even have a cigar bar at your reception, and several links to some incredibly awesome groomsmen gifts – no more lame gift ideas allowed.

Meet your photographers.

We’re Kate (she/her) and Josh (he/him). Married humans, emotional chaos wranglers, coffee worshippers, timeline nerds, Marvel fanatics, and occasional ugly criers at weddings. (Okay, maybe more than occasional. Look, vows get us. Every damn time.) Kate has been photographing since 1997 and Josh picked up the camera in 2011. We’ve done over 600 weddings together, including wedding coordination (sometimes we even get to do both at the same time!) 600+ weddings → “That’s 600 families who trusted us to be invisible magic and backup problem-solvers.” 14 years → “We’ve seen it all — and we know how to handle anything without making it your problem.” Coordination → Kate is also a certified coordinator which gives that extra boost for you during planning and on the day itself “We don’t just photograph your day — we keep it flowing, calm, and meaningful.”
