Harry Potter, Doctor Who, horses, and a four-figure discount from NY’s Milestone Images

I think this is my favorite interview with one of our most prolific and wonderfully honest sponsors — Angie from Milestone Images. Not only do we get to see the once-viral sonic screwdriver bouquet in action, but we get to hear a photographers candid opinion on why her services are worth the money, why she’s a great fit for DIY couples, AND we get never-before-seen admissions about the depths of her Harry Potter nerd-dom.

Oh, and I get to share with your our first ever four-figure discount from a wedding photographer.
