By Samantha Breen


Your wedding day will forever stand out in your memories as one of the best days of your life. During the long planning phase it feels like the day will never come, but once it arrives it passes far too quickly. Most weddings do not go off without a hitch, but those imperfections are what make your day special and unique.

Most people hire videographers and photographers to capture their wedding day, but those services do not capture the true magic of the day. The true spirit of the day comes from your guests. They have loved and supported you throughout your lifetime, and now they will come together to share tears of happiness as you walk down the aisle and say "I do" to the love of your life. Let the photographer capture the cake and the bride's dance with her father, but don't leave the guests out of the picture.
