Wedding photographers in Wrocław

—What details that usually pass unnoticed can a wedding photographer capture?

—It's a hard question because it's hard to list specific situations but I have one in mind. Most people think that best photo is when the married couple looks great. I personally love photos with history in the background which are showing the future bride dressing up in the background and moved mother reflected in the mirror.

—How did you start working in the wedding photography field?
