I cannot put into words how awesome Bailey was. There were plenty of things that didn’t go my way leading up to the wedding and when Bailey walked in to get to work she immediately checked in on me. I explained how I had some other vendors canc...

el and I was pretty upset. She immediately put me at ease and told me not to worry and gave me a great pep talk! During the day Bailey took the time to get all the photos I wanted and even re took family photos when my dad arrived 2.5 hours late. She even made sure I had a moment alone with my spouse before we walked down the aisle just to calm those nerves. All those little things added up to be big things that I reflect on now and am so thankful for. Bailey was so sweet and so kind, she stood up for me multiple times during the day so I could have the photos/ wedding of my dreams. She also was so quick to turn around all the photos! The photos turned out great and I can’t wait to share them with my family and the future generations to come!!
