Great job with photos and creative ideas. I’ve shot a few weddings but this gives me a lot of ideas I didn’t behind about. This video was perfect for me. Im glad he shared his mistakes as photographer also. I feel like I’m making the same mistakes. Thanks again for sharing your know and experiences with us.

Abbastanza attinente alle esperienze pregresse che ho avuto in questo contesto. Mi piacciono molto le sottolineature che vengono esposte come verietà di consigli, facili da ricordare, e la semplicità e la chiarezza del linguaggio con cui vengono esposte.
