More and more dog lovers are finding creative ways to include their dogs in their wedding celebrations. All you need is an adorable puppy, some dog wedding attire, and a talented photographer to seamlessly include your dog in all of your wedding day festivities. These adorable weddings, captured by talented wedding photographers with a penchant for pups, show you how to make the day special for your pet, too.
