We originally weren't going to have a photographer, but we are SO glad my parents-in-law insisted. Even better than a random photographer, it was Clare & her husband! They did an amazing job with the photos; exactly what we asked for and included some with varied edits we asked for. On top of this, Clare is relaxed and confident- You know one of those people that just make your day even better?? Well yeah, Clare is one of those people. 5/5 Stars. Thanks for making our day even better, Clare & Zach!
