As a wedding photographer, I eat A LOT of wedding food and let me tell you that this wasn't like the normal dinner every other weekend. The best part of all of this? The dinner was plant based. Everyone raved about it all night (even the die hard meat lovers). I wish they catered all the weddings I photograph!
