Finding & choosing a photographer for your wedding day can be overwhelming – I hear this all the time. It’s also an important decision – these are images you’ll treasure forever – which can leave couples feeling a lot of pressure to make the BEST choice. This should be such a fun & exciting time in your life, so let me help you cut through the noise! Below is a list of important questions to ask every photographer you’re considering.
