Each issue, our photography advertisers offer images for editorial use. These pictures provide additional exposure for the work of many other vendors in addition to the photographers.

Several photo features are published in every issue. Some are focused on a single wedding and the vendors who made it possible. Others are about new ideas in a particular business category. Go to photo features index.
