Your wedding day is about celebrating your love story — and for many couples, that story would not be complete without their dog.
At Albany Capture, we know that pets are family. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight Wags of Love, a wedding dog concierge service dedicated to making sure your furry best friend can safely and seamlessly be part of your big day.
Meet Wags of Love
Founded by Alana Procknow, Wags of Love was created from two passions she holds close to her heart: dogs and weddings.
Alana’s mission is simple — to help couples include their dogs in one of the most important moments of their lives without the stress or logistical challenges that can come with it.
For many couples, their dog is more than just a pet. They’re the first “baby,” the adventure partner, or even the reason the couple met in the first place. Including them in the wedding isn’t just cute — it’s meaningful.
Why Couples Love Wedding Dog Concierge Services
Planning a wedding already involves coordinating timelines, vendors, guests, and countless details. Adding a dog into the mix can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s where Wags of Love steps in.
Once a couple books their services, Alana coordinates directly with the venue, photographers, planners, and vendors to ensure everything runs smoothly. From transportation to ceremony assistance, every detail is thoughtfully planned with the dog’s comfort and safety in mind.
Dogs are treated like VIP guests — because honestly, they often are the most important guests.

Wags of Love can create a dog-friendly version of cocktail hour so pups can safely celebrate alongside guests while enjoying treats, cuddles, and social time.
Why Venues & Vendors Trust Wags of Love
One thing that sets Wags of Love apart is their professionalism.
They carry insurance, which helps venues feel confident and comfortable allowing dogs on-site. In fact, some venues only allow pets if Wags of Love is involved because of their expertise and experience handling wedding-day logistics with animals.
Their approach is collaborative and thoughtful, always considering:
- The couple’s experience

- Venue requirements
- Vendor coordination
- The dog’s wellbeing
As photographers, we especially appreciate working alongside professionals who understand timelines, moments, and how to create a stress-free environment for everyone involved.
Wedding Trends: Couples Are Prioritizing Their Pets
Including dogs in weddings continues to grow in popularity.
For 2026 weddings, many couples are booking pet concierge services 6 months to 1 year in advance. Even for 2025 weddings, couples were typically booking around 3 months ahead.
It’s clear that more couples are intentionally designing weddings that reflect their real family — paws included.
Capturing Meaningful Moments Together
At Albany Capture, we love working with couples who want authentic, emotional storytelling photography — and including your dog creates some of the most genuine moments of the day.
From walking down the aisle to cuddling during portraits or stealing attention during cocktail hour, dogs bring joy, personality, and unforgettable memories to weddings.
Working with a professional team like Wags of Love ensures those moments happen naturally and stress-free.
