Before you book your dream photographer, I always encourage clients to understand the value of photography. Once your day has ended, photos and keepsakes will be the only reminder of your wedding day. That is what makes photography so special – it is a way to relive your Wedding Day for years to come. It is a way for your dad to remember how it felt to see his beautiful daughter for the first time in her dress.

It truly is the only way to preserve those once-in-a-lifetime moments that are easy to forget years down the road.
