DO YOU VALUE MOMENTS OVER POSED PHOTOS?

Moments matter, and so do you! Photos that look like you, not what I want you to look like!
Why should you "act like you are having fun" on wedding day?
You will never find a gallery full of photos of you looking at the camera or a bunch of details. That shit is for your grandparents, not for you.
