Samantha, on March 21, 2024 at 10:37 PM

Is it ok to send photographer wedding photo ideas?
nimzz, on January 15, 2016 at 5:14 PM

My fiance and I aren't great at taking pictures, so I feel we need practice with poses and test what we like. We also are taking the pics after the ceremony, so we don't have much time to start...

Bright red wedding guest attire!?
Stephanie, on October 16, 2024 at 3:41 PM

Maybe its just me.. (the bride) but was this dress a bit inappropriate and rather a way of seeking the attention? Not only being bright red with bright red lipstick, but her boobs barely hanging in...
