One of the most important parts of your wedding

PhilSmith 7th April 2015
Wedding vendors and professionals come in different shapes and sizes (experience, pricing, knowledge, etc..) One of the most important vendors you can hire is your photographer! Why, because its the memories solidified in a form (a picture) that captures those special moments; the looks, the fun, and something you'll want to remember for the rest of your lives.

The people who hire us again and again are the ones who…
