You’ve found your perfect match, and the two of you are buzzing about beginning your happily-ever-after together. Wedding planning is in full swing, you’ve said “yes” to your dress, and everything is falling into place. But there’s one thing that sends a shiver down your introverted spine—being the center of attention, posing for countless photos and videos on your wedding day.
