—Först och främst - vem kan du nämna som den bästa fotografen i San Diego? :)

—Vad bör kriterierna vara för en kund som ska välja en fotograf?

—Stay away from Pinterest and keep it real. Real is always better. Make sure they do research and spend the money. This is the ONE area you don't what to skimp out on.

Make sure you see at least 2 full weddings. Photographers only want to show you their best.
