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 want, I recommend you skip the 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.
