CHEVY CHASE, MD—April 1, 2015—The leading global wedding marketplace, WeddingWire Inc., continued its path toward industry domination today with the purchase of six of the most famous photo landmarks in the world. Engaged couples may now browse, read reviews and book one of these landmarks for their engagement or wedding day photos directly through WeddingWire’s database.
