Old-Fashioned Summer Fun

As Mr. Bruschetta and I learned during our engagement session, props serve a dual purpose: They give you something to do or hold, allowing you to feel more comfortable in front of the camera, and they make for fun, whimsical pictures.

Since we'll have time between the ceremony and reception, I've got high hopes of capturing bridal party candids in the streets surrounding our reception location. And there will be props.

What kind, you ask?

Anything that epitomizes summer is a possibility. So far, my list includes a jump rope and beach balls...but I'm continuing to brainstorm -- and welcome any and all suggestions!

Are you planning on incorporating any props into your wedding pictures?
