The Question Every Couple Asks When you’re planning your photography coverage, the first debate is always how many hours do we need? The second? Do we really need “getting ready” photos? It’s a fair question. After all, these moments happen before the “main event.” But here’s the thing: as a documentary-style wedding photographer, I can promise you this […]
