Pro-photographer or a friend?

I came across this interesting post on the Rock N’ Roll Bride blog. A cautionary tale about the dilemma  a lot of brides face. Investing a not-insignificant amount of dosh in a pro-photographer or going with a ‘friend with a nice camera’.  I quite often have enquiries from brides who then get back to me to let me know that they are having a friend photography their wedding instead. I often wonder how their wedding photographs turned out.

Last wedding of the year, Leah & Ben, Victoria

So an evening ceremony at the beautiful chapel in St Ann’s Academy in Victoria for Leah and Ben, with their casual reception held at the Union Club, where I’d previously arranged a ‘first-sight’ meeting between Leah and her husband to be, before the ceremony.

Last wedding of the year (#52) for me, another busy year. Booking well for next year, about 60% booked now for the main Summer Saturdays, not many dates left now.

So just to say i hope all my past/future clients have a wonderful new year, and look out for my annual Top 10 shots (for 2011), coming in Jan. A big prize for the winner :-)
