—Перше і найважливіше - кого ви можете назвати найкращим фотографом у вашому місті? :)

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

—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.
