So, you know you need a wedding photographer, that’s a given nowadays. But how much wedding photography coverage do you really need? Every wedding is unique, and unless you’re a wedding pro, you probably have no idea how long you’ll need your photographer to make sure you have your entire day documented so you don’t […]
Should you have a first look for your wedding? The pros and cons of a first look or waiting until you walk down the aisle.
As I mentioned in part 1 of “What to Do with Your Wedding Photos,” I have a lot of opinions about what to do with your wedding photos. I began my photography journey shooting film and printing my images in the darkroom, so it’s not at all surprising that I have a fondness for printed […]
