artist and hair stylist

The package includes 30 photos, 4 dresses with different styles

Shortlisted Photographer:
This is very subjective. Before you meet with the photographer,
think about
the details like how your wedding day will be arranged, what style
of photos
do you like etc and discuss with them. Imagine whether you like
to work with
the photographer.
