Ittipol says that he has been a photographer for 19 years and explains that his grandparents got married when they were in their early twenties. He wanted to give them photos to remember because they didn’t have any from their special day decades ago.

“Wedding photographs are the one thing you walk away with from your big day,” photographer Emily Millay told Brides, “Brides and grooms are going through the motions of the day, but think of all the candid moments they miss. Those are the moments that make up their wedding, and that’s why wedding photography is such an important investment.”
