Having pictures taken at the wedding and then at the reception can capture precious memories in freeze-frame and photos provide a way for you to reconnect to the feelings you felt at your wedding. Your wedding album can serve you for your lifetime and can bring back the excitement, love, and feelings of youth as you look at the freezed-framed images of your special day 10, 20, or 50 years after your wedding. Often times they are most appreciated in ones golden years. In the difficult, frenetic and logistically packed wedding planning period before a wedding, many wedding planners don't think with the long term perspective in mind. Do I want to pay an extra to $250 on the photos or on the having an extra sauce served on the desert? It's easy to over estimate the importance of the short term, immediate gratification choices of the wedding day and underestimate the long term payoff of wedding photos - high quality photos that you can enjoy forever.
