I know wedding planning can be an overwhelming process.

However, it is important to remember, the photos from your wedding are the only thing you will have left to remember one of the most important days of your life. The food will be eaten, the favors will be forgotten, and the music will die down, but your wedding photos will increase in value over time.
 
Then, years down the road, when you start preparing for your daughter (or son's) big day, the photos from yours will help you both relive the day and get you excited for the next chapter. The photos from your wedding day are a big deal and making sure you hire a wedding photographer you click with is just as important. Hiring a professional guarantees you will have memories to show your children years down the road. 
 
You only get to do this day once and leaving it up to chance or 'friend with a fancy camera' is risky and could leave you without memories to look back on. I direct and I pose you and I am going to ensure we get some DAMN GOOD photos for Instagram and your family, too.
