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.

A Cautionary Tale

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 :-)

And my first wedding at the newish Cox Bay Resort, where Bronwyn & Rob tied the knot. The torrential rain nicely stopped for us to go on the beach for a quick shoot.

Comments most welcome below, and keep and eye on my clients page for the rest of their images.
