After making contact with <a title=\"Ferla Paolo Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ferlapaolo.com\" target=\"_blank\">Paolo<\/a>\u00a0he suggested that we meet up and chat about our ideas and also have a mini photoshoot with Thea, so that we could get used to working with him.<\/p>\n<p>One major hurdle we&#8217;re going to have to get over before the wedding is that neither of us really like being in front of the camera, but Paolo made us feel really comfortable and urged us to relax and have some fun.
