  Wedshed just featured my past clients Beth and James. Their wedding was simply amazing. First, it was a total surprise for their guest. As I entered, all the guests knew what was happening as they had a big sign saying “Welcome to our Wedding.” Second, Georgie James was their fabulous photographer. Third, of course […]
