Today, I spent some time visiting the locations for a wedding I’ll be photographing in August, including the bride’s family home, the church, and the reception venue. This venue visit is included as part of my wedding photography package and helps ensure everything is planned perfectly ahead of the big day. 💍⛪️💐
