First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for trusting me to photograph one of the most memorable days of you and your partner’s lives. It is an honor deeply appreciated.
As the wedding planning progresses, you search for similar talent and trust in the vendors that will play a collective role in crafting your wedding day experience. To relieve the stress of blindly searching, I have organized a list of talented vendors that I know you can depend on.
Please note most of these vendors are located around and will serve the Tri-State area ( New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia ).
