This week felt like Christmas to me. Not only did we put up our Christmas tree (I know, I know it’s not even December yet) but I also got a bunch of photography related goodies in the mail. Two days in a row! My favorite, I have to admit, was the new camera bag I’ve […]

From the “YES” being all caps in the title of this post, it is fairly obvious what my opinion is on this topic. I think, especially as a photographer, that every bride should at least consider doing an unplugged wedding.

I started my business after getting my first DSLR camera as a wedding gift — I knew next to nothing about photography, but I loved it.

In the beginning, I was afraid to tell anyone that I was starting a photography business. I thought they wouldn’t take me seriously, and might even make fun of me.
