Hello, DIYers!
Whether you’re a photographer looking for inspiration or an upcoming bride or groom, we are here to help! Photographers cost a pretty nice chunk of change and it’s important to pick one that will be not only reliable, but one who can help you get the type of shots that you are looking for to memorialize your day! So get inspired! If there is a shot you love, be sure to show it to your potential photographers and see if they can make it possible!

Flower Girl’s Entrance
The flower girl’s job is to be ADORABLE. That is something you definitely want to commit to film! Have a shot of her entrance (of course) but if she will be seeing the bride before the wedding, getting a picture of her walking in to see the bride for the first time would be perfect!
