Networking as a Wedding Photographer - The Gorge Bakehouse.
Hey everyone! It’s been a minute since the last blog, but today I want to share with you (for both suppliers and couples), why I love to network with other vendors as a wedding photographer.

It might also be the case that a wedding vendor might have a situation whereby they have a client that is still looking to finalise their wedding and are still searching for the specifics. That is why on my website I have a recommended suppliers page. So without further a do, let’s get the blog rolling…
