| riddell Photographer  Location United Kingdom Hertfordshire berkhamsted |  Quote from Codyhaha no  but Im sure it's a lot easier if the bride has modelling experience and not shy of the camera and I expect the photographer to find lots of shots for their portfoliosIt doesn't make any difference. Thats part of the skill of being a wedding photographer. Also as much as the bride is a focus at a wedding, she's not the only person there, and the photographer also needs to capture the groom, parents, best man, bridesmaids, grandma & granddad, children, friends, and the vicar, etc. etc. All these people need to be captured beautifully and you'll have a mixture of people who are shy and those that are out there, but you need to get them all, and all the photos need to be stunning. Its this varidness, along with all the lighting changes in different rooms and outside, plus knowing where to be that requires so much skill from a wedding photographer. and as only the most amateur of photographers would use more than one photo from any single wedding in their portfolio, that one photo for the portfolio can just as easily come from a photo of the bridesmaids. |

| martinscroft Photographer  Location United Kingdom Cheshire | Any pro wedding photographer will surely be busy already and unlikely to offer to do it TF. More likely to get some wannabe wedding tog who wants to practise - might work out OK but is it worth risking the most important day of your life if the tog is not a proven experienced weddign tog? |

| theperfectgentleman Photographer  Location United Kingdom Essex Chelmsford | Hi an interesting post. With the comparison between people doing the plumbing,taxi driving ect. To do them jobs you need at least an nvq to do the job professionally. How many of the photographers out there have recognised trade qualification? Recently I was teaching at Holland Park, there were four weddings on that day and they weren’t cheep, white carriages and four horses, three rolls and six pageboys/bridesmaids, but on looking closer at photographers three of them were shooting on auto and standard kit lens. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions, but in mho 20% of the pupils on my course could have produced better images, so not all so called professionals are what they appear to be. It would appear with wedding photography you will get what you have the brass neck to ask for. |
