Help! Kids are in my wedding party!

Help! Kids are in my wedding party! I will never forget the first wedding I photographed that included young children in the wedding party. It brought new meaning to the phrase, “Never a dull moment!” Fortunately, I had children of my own so I knew what to expect. Well, sort of. Several children were recently…
