It’s really interesting to be writing this in 2020 because whilst researching I found a post I had written when I was starting out 6 years ago (!) about the same topic; wedding photography pricing, and people’s expectations compared to what they were willing to pay.
Read MoreThe topic on the blog today is something that’s been bugging me all summer long. I’ve written about the positives on unplugged weddings before and I am so happy that they’ve had a huge upturn this year with lots of my couples having one – and even making cool signs to say so!
