Ceremony Prep Photography

A Sample from Jenna & Matt’s Day at Whist Weddings Ceremony prep is one of the most important parts of the wedding day. There’s so much anticipation and that tends to make people both excited and nervous during that time. I love capturing those emotions! In planning for wedding days, I’m often asked how much […]
