If you missed some of the great deals from Black Friday or Cyber Monday, don’t worry, we’ve still got you covered. Luckily, the ever-talented destination wedding photographer, photographic educator, and SmugMug ambassador, Brett Florens, has put together a little video gift guide to make sure your gift giving this year is top notch. Then again, you may just find a few things in there to add to your own list, who knows?
