Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Hamilton wedding day?

Q: How can couples find reviews of Hamilton wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements.
