Bring Your Dog

A happy brown dog wearing a white harness poses with bridesmaids holding white bouquets at a wedding celebration at Whitley Hall.

If you have a dog, you have to bring them on the pre-wedding shoot. They need photos too! I should put it into my contract and force everyone to bring one.
