Wedding Style Dictionary
There have been several times when brides tell me that they have a vision in their mind of what they want their wedding to be like, but they can’t think of the words to describe it. When I was trying to come up with the “title” of the first {ELD} photo shoot, I was also at a loss for words. And so, the {ELD} Wedding Style Dictionary was born.
