The cufflink clasp. The handwritten note. The custom lining sewn quietly inside a timeless tuxedo jacket. Groom details may whisper but when thoughtfully chosen, they speak volumes.
For all the conversation around bridal fashion (and deservedly so), we’ve come to love the quieter counterpart: the groom’s side of the story. Because when captured with intention, these moments are just as meaningful, full of personality, sentiment, and unexpected style.
From classic to completely custom, we’ve seen all kinds of groom details. A watch gifted by his bride, engraved with the date they met. Embroidered initials on the inside of his jacket, seen only by him. These are the elements that turn a look into a legacy.
Not Just Accessories
The groom’s ensemble is more than formalwear, it’s a reflection. Of tradition, of personal taste, of quiet emotion carried into the day. From velvet loafers and white dinner jackets to tartan tuxedos and bespoke bowties, these details tell us who he is. And just as importantly, who he loves.
We’ve photographed grooms in heirloom cufflinks passed down for generations, monogrammed cigars for the groomsmen, custom cologne blends, and even signature cocktails that nod to a hometown or shared memory. These aren’t just fashion moments, they’re story markers.
Some Favorite Groom Details to Capture:
- Custom Lining – Jackets lined with photos, love letters, tartan family patterns, or alma mater stripes.
- Standout Style – Velvet loafers, white jackets, colorful socks, custom bowties, or cufflinks that double as conversation starters.
- Personal Touches – Signature scents, favorite bourbon bottles, meaningful keepsakes, or handwritten vows tucked into a coat pocket.
It’s In the Way He Looks at Her, Too
Yes, we photograph the boutonnière and the bow tie but also the stolen glances, the nerves, the pride. The way he straightens his collar before the first look. The moment his groomsmen step back and let him breathe. It’s his day, too and the way he steps into it deserves to be remembered.
A little custom. A little sentimental. A whole lot of character. The groom’s story is woven into the wedding day and we’ll always make time for it in frame.
