Inspiring photo examples from the authors, taken with DSLRs, compact digital cameras, and even iPhones, show that it is the photographer’s eye and creative vision–not the gear–that make a great image. Surely a gift for the wedding photographer that is both thoughtful and useful.

Thank You for Capturing Our Day So Beautifully Keychain
A great wedding photographer gift – a thank you for capturing the day so beautifully.

You probably won’t remember much of your wedding (really, I know you won’t remember much of your wedding, stress hormones are insane!) but your photographer was there to record every precious second. And the best part is, you’ll always have those recollections.
Why not give something unique to the individual who made that possible? The price tag doesn’t have to reflect how much care you put into it; anyone would be grateful for even the smallest token of your appreciation. You don’t have much of an excuse anymore because I have kind of thought about it.
