Mason was our photographer for our wedding at Cousiac Manor. He was an amazing photographer who got every shot I asked for and others I couldn’t have imagined up myself. He always kept me at ease and calm through the entire day. We just got our pictures back and I’m even more happy he was a part of our wedding. They are absolutely gorgeous!
