0

And to add even more stress, whether you’re the bride, the groom, or in the bridal party, you’re going to be photographed more in the span of a few hours than ever before, so you know you’re going to want to look your best.

If you happen to be planning your version of the ultimate computer room, I’ve put together a list of things that I’d consider must-haves.
