Being featured on Once Wed was fantastic as it opened up our work to a really wide range of creative brides. We booked three destination weddings in Italy, Switzerland, and Germany as a result, had a bride in the UK cancel her photographer in order to book me and also had a magazine want to feature the same wedding after they saw it on Once Wed! A lot of our UK and European brides refer to Once Wed for ideas. Being featured on the site still brings me referrals even eight months later! Caught The Light Photography Once Wed has been a crucial tool for my business. It s provided me with opportunities to shoot weddings internationally, work with some of the brightest talent around and has exposed my work to thousands of brides-to-be. Being featured on a site with great taste, coupled with such a huge following, is a true honor and blessing for any artist. Tec Petaja Photography
