Living a satisfactory life which is completely happy is one of the impossibilities that can be found on this planet. For this reason, we always try to record these happy moments that rarely come in our life. Taking photographs is one of the oldest and easiest ways to immortalize the happiest moments that we live and will never come back again. We try to remember these moments throughout the rest of our lives and protect them from being lost or forgotten over time. Celebrating happy occasions such as a wedding requires choosing a professional wedding photographer for capturing photos of the best moments that usually come just once in our life.
We spend a lot of money for making the wedding day the best and happiest day not just for us but for all of those who share these moments with us and this is why we have to make these moments memorable forever and for the coming generations through choosing a professional photographer. It may cost you more money, but do not forget that “You Get What You Pay For”.

“Immortalize your wedding through choosing a professional wedding photographer”
“Wishing you the best on your wedding day”
I find this rather ridiculous…
The text says “record these happy moments”, “immortalize the happiest moments that we live and will never come back again”, “remember these moments”, “capturing photos of the best moments that usually come just once in our life”, “make these moments memorable forever”, “immortalizing your wedding day” but is followed by images more than half of which is staged, posed and has nothing to do with capturing a moment…
Pretty much the only exceptions are the works of Allister Freeman and Jeff Ascough.
Actually why Carlo Carletti is not on the list?
