“On the other side of the lens, if you will, are those couples who have had a terrible experience with their original photographer. Lynn Michelle of Lynn Michelle Photography says that many of her clients come in devastated over their wedding day photos. ‘Some photographers are just not qualified or do not have enough experience to create and stick to a successful schedule or timeline.
