I was a bride once, and let me tell you it was a very exciting and memorable time. But, it was also a little bit stressful. As brides, we fear everything going wrong on our special day. Our makeup getting smeared, hair not staying up, breaking the heel of our shoes, and so on. Let me give you some advice from a former bride and current wedding photographer, have a bag packed with all of your necessities to bring on the day of your wedding!
