What is “slice of life” photography and why it will save your wedding photos

We had a discussion with one of our favorite photographers, Austin-based Madelinne Grey about her philosophy in capturing the key moments in a wedding day in a super natural and realistic way. Let me tell you, it was illuminating. She has some serious skills and a really natural method that’s right in line with the needs of offbeat couples.
