It is a moment of magic no one ever forgets and people stop and connect with nature. It is important to not bargain shop if you are buying butterflies - get them from someone that really knows what they are doing!

It is also my favorite pic from Mom & Dads wedding...so it looks good in B&W too.....

IF any of your timing is off, you walk through smoke!!! The pictures are just that.....dimly lite figures in smoke. The photographer was not positioned to catch the bride and groom emerging from the smoke....the pictures are just a cloudy mess! DON’T use sparklers.

But I gladly participated when couples opted for bubbles or flower petals. My advice is to follow your heart not what others want.

I felt like an extra on a movie set. For this reason, I think sparklers are a great idea - they can only spark so much, and they'll make lovely pictures without being fake. :) But, I'm also a fan of simplicity, and I didn't have anything at my wedding. I wanted sparklers, but I had my reception at a sculpture garden, and the sparklers posed a threat to the art and the nature... so be careful if you do go that way that it's okay with the site.
