At the last wedding I shot, I realized that there was a special need that my client’s might appreciate. As a wedding photographer, I have been asked on more than one occasion in the midst of the moment how to insert a handkerchief, pin a boutonniere, fold a pocket square, and even tie a tie.

What a huge sigh of relief I have to be able to direct my grooms and groomsmen to this site and they can learn on the spot. I’m going to include the video here so you get a taste of the teaching style that the creators have. I think it is super simple and easy to implicate on the spot.
