My wife can assist with planning, please do get in touch.
One couples family collected jars which were spayed painted and used for centre pieces, absolutely gorgeous!
We meet over drinks, review presentation, take questions from the couple. I explain how I capture the day, and how I will contribute to making your day memorable. No hard selling, we look over the contract and the couple can then make a decision.
It is my view that documentary images give a true and more emotional story, so for me there is no "one" photo that says it all.
