Give yourself time to make confident decisions, and choose vendors that show themselves to be knowledgable and helpful. You need people who care about what's best for you as a couple.
Her. For the careful colour palette and wonderful cast. The cinematography is allowed to shine.
My favourite is stringed music, as it gives great dynamics whilst also giving the right amount of sincerely emotional feelings.
I studied music at University, and whilst I was recording albums in a band and touring the country I was taking photos of other bands, then started shooting music videos. This led onto short and feature films, then into weddings.
