Here at J&D Photo, we are big fans of dogs. Jada + David have two golden retrievers, Nala + Joey, and I have a goldendoodle named Dublin. We love it when couples include their dogs in engagement shoots, family photos, and especially weddings! Dogs add so much love and positive energy wherever they go so we strongly encourage letting them tag along for your big day. Here are a few ideas we love to give you some inspiration!

Wedding Guest

Don't forget to invite your dog to your special day! Give them a flower crown or a cute bandana so they can look stylish next to you.

Quick Photo Opp

There's no denying that most dogs have pretty short attention spans. Have your dog come during the portraits part of your wedding for quick photos.

Groomsman or Bridesmaid

You definitely want to have man's best friend standing next to you during your big moment. Etsy has lots of cute bowties for dogs so that they can match your other groomsmen.

Wedding Invitations

Feeling creative? A painting of your dog on your wedding invitations will be a great keepsake.

Ring Bearer or Flower Girl

Don't have a cute niece or nephew to be your flower girl or ring bearer? Good thing you have the cutest puppy ever to make all your guests smile.

Getting Ready Assistant

Everyone can use an extra hand — or paw — while getting ready for their wedding. Your dog will be by your side to give you a pep talk before walking down the aisle.

Save the Dates

Don't trust your dog to behave on your big day? Have them tag along for your engagement photos say they can announce your save the dates!
