Background

Over the years I have attended numerous weddings where there has been a commercial photographer paid to take photos. Meanwhile I am busy taking photos and when it come to the crunch, the bride chooses more of my photos than the man (it is always a man) who was paid good money to show up.

As it happens I have some very expensive Canon Cameras. I also have a good selection of lenses including a white lens that cost more than a car ( a very cheap car admittedly)

And upstairs we have a fully fledged Photo Studio with lights and a wireless controlled background drop down so you can do green screen stuff (don't worry about it). Not to mention red, yellow and white.

BUT ALL OF THIS IS PRETTY IRRELEVANT. What you need a is an eye for a photograph and a functional camera. Virtually any camera in the hands of somebody who has an eye is going to be better than somebody with a load of fancy equipment who is just doing it for the money and has no eye!

Obviously the photo of me above was not taken by me (duh). It was taken by Bob who is too impatient to take good photos but it shows the kind of equipment we have. If Candy Spelling (who?) can have gift wrapping room, we can have a photo studio. So there.
