There are many important elements that come together to make a wedding special. One of the biggest parts is, of course, the menu. So I asked David... What advice do you have for menu selection? What should a couple consider when selecting their menu? And here are his thoughts.

Wedding Photographer - Kelly Sweet
Kelly Sweet is a wonderful photographer and we've been lucky to work with her many times. Her photogrpahy is so beautiful. The images she captures are so soft and have such stunning light. Recently we asked her to share a bit about herself and her thoughts on weddings.
