Taking pretty pictures is easy. My job is to take colorful, honest, unposed, emotionally raw, and laugh-out-loud because you didn't know it happened pictures. Documenting hundreds of weddings has deepened my joy of authentic storytelling. And if that's what you really want, then skip the meaningless traditions and focus on what makes you both happy. It's also been a catalyst for my cake addiction, so I hope you're cool with being an enabler.
