Collections of 6 hours or more include a credit towards fine art prints on canvas, aluminum and birch wood or the credit can be used towards your very own custom Italian made wedding album.
You will receive roughly 35-50 full resolution images for every hour of photography, after editing and post production.
All images are individually edited using Adobe Lightroom.
