Documenting your wedding day is important as a means to look back and remember so finding the right photographer/videographer is one of the most important decisions for the day. You need a photographer that fits your style, knows in advance what you'd like, puts you and your guests at ease but also someone that you and your guests hardly know there is there...unless you want them to!
