Brides know what they want, they have spent months looking and following photographers in social media and Pinterest and some of them even know my poses before I even work with them! But the groom…, that’s another story. I still have […]

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a wedding dress nerd. I own over 15 wedding dresses myself and I keep buying more when I see one that I like. My problem is with the years I have developed an obsession for designer’s dresses, and a hobby like that is definitely not cheap. Read […]
