When you think about your wedding photography, is having a great experience as important to you as the photos themselves?

Do you love authentic and candid images? Do you guys love to laugh together and are simply just the best of friends? Does wandering through a field in golden light with your person sound like straight up magic even if your dress gets a tad dirty or the wind plays with your hair ā€” as long as your hands are wrapped up in each otherā€™s, thatā€™s all you care about!?

Maybe you guys like the fancy just fine, but you love the everyday, especially when the everyday is together. If asked, youā€™d both choose a cozy campfire over a flashy night out. And the only thing you argue over is where to go for dinner, even though you both know youā€™ll just end up at Chipotle again for the third time that week.

Are you nodding your head over and over right now or what!?
