I happen to love when pets are involved in the processional of a wedding, and I’ve actually done several weddings that included dogs. One of these featured a pair of pugs dressed in a bridal gown and tuxedo, respectively. Adorable! Other weddings had the pups serve as ring bearers, strutting down the aisle with satchels in their mouths containing the wedding rings.

Printed materials are one of the top five things you need to address when planning your wedding. I make the reference all the time that a wedding should tell a story. Well, your story begins and ends with your printed materials! What does that mean?

I always insist that my clients consider booking videography on top of photography. Then, they always ask, "Can my photographer do my videography?" The answer is that while they probably can, my advice is that you hire a separate expert, allowing the photographer to focus just on what he or she does best.

And when you're celebrating your 25th or 50th anniversary, you'll want to see and remember your loved ones who have since passed on still. The movement of your guests set to powerful music is so much more impactful than looking at photos.
