As a professional photographer Will Butcher Womens Jersey , I hear it all the time. Brides call me about my services, and latter I call them back to follow up, and they say "Oh, Uncle Ed is going to do the photography, he has a really nice camera."
I want to tell them that they maybe that is not the biggest mistake of their lives, but it is the biggest mistake of their wedding!
The funny thing is Nico Hischier Womens Jersey , Uncle Ed (or whomever) might have a great camera. He could have exactly the camera I have, or even a better one! So why can't he take the photos, if his camera is as good as mine?
He probably does not have the rest of the equipment I have. Multiple lenses for different effects, professional flashes for nice lighting, a bracket to improve the lighting even more, a battery pack to power the flash. Or here is one Adidas Taylor Hall Jersey , backup equipment. One thing I learned doing travel photography and freelance photojournalism. You never know when your equipment is going to break, but you do know it is going to break when you are using it. I've got two of everything, does Uncle Ed?
Even if I gave Uncle Ed my camera equipment, he'd still be a bad choice for your photographer. Why? He is not as good of a photographer as me.
Now, I know you have seen some of his shots, and they are great. But Uncle Ed is showing you his best shots. How many shots did he take to get those best ones? If it is a portrait session where you only need one good shot Adidas Will Butcher Jersey , or a scenic shot where you can take all day, then maybe he is good enough.
At a wedding, where things happen fast and only once, Uncle Ed is going to flub a lot of shots that I would nail. Too bad, it is never going to happen again.
Maybe he is as great as you think he is. He still doesn't know weddings the way I do. I've been to 600 weddings. I know how they work. I can get all the formal shots in a flash, before the hors d'oeuvres get cold. I know when moments are going to happen before they happen so I can be right there. I never miss a beat.
Also Adidas Nico Hischier Jersey , Uncle Ed is not going to work as hard as I do. He is going to talk to your dad, and your mom, and your brothers. He is going to put down his camera and dance and enjoy himself. I am never going to stop working I will take over 1,000 photos, and I will be on task the entire time.
Lastly, Uncle Ed will NOT put together your album. Maybe that doesn't matter Authentic Taylor Hall Jersey , maybe you are one of those people who are really good at that kind of project, and the follow through. Most people aren't. It will get put on the back shelf and never finished. Not me. I've been paid, I'm contractually obliged to finish your album. Now, I never did my wedding album, but that's just what I'm talking about.
I know it can be hard to pay me $2,000 when Uncle Ed will shoot for free. But unless Uncle Ed is a professional wedding photographer Authentic Will Butcher Jersey , don't risk it. Your wedding is never going to come again. Save money somewhere else. (Can Aunt Edna cook?)
In summary:
1. An amateur doesn't have all the equipment a pro has.
2. An amateur doesn't get as many good shots.
3. An amateur doesn't know weddings like a pro does.
4. An amateur doesn't work as hard as a pro.
5. An amateur doesn't do any post production, like say an album.
Hire a professional photographer instead.

Mortgage approvals for July at lowest for 15 years as UK probably in recession Published: 04.06.2009 | Author: tugsearch | Category: Real Estate
Mortgage approvals hit their lowest in at least 15 years in July and the manufacturing sector shrank for a fourth straight month in August, surveys showed today.”Prospects for the UK economy remain grim,” said Michael Saunders, a Citigroup economist. “The economy is probably in recession now and no early recovery worth the name is likely in 2009.”
The weak readings drove the pound down to its lowest against the dollar since April 2006 and interest rate futures rallied sharply Taylor Hall Jersey , anticipating Bank of England rate cuts as the British economy flirts with its first recession since the early 1990s.
Chancellor Alistair Darling reiterated government warnings on the economy in an interview with a weekend magazine, raising speculation he will slash his economic forecasts in the pre-budget report due in the coming months.
That interview was published just a few days after Bank of England policymaker David Blanchflower told Reuters two million people could be out of work by Christmas and that big interest rate cuts were needed to avoid a prolonged slump.
The government will outline proposals to help the housing market tomorrow which will likely include giving local authorities money to buy repossessed properties. Further measures to help people with rising utility bills could come later in the week.
The Bank of England said today mortgage approvals — an indicator of future movements in house prices — fell to 33,000 in July from 35,000 in June, the 12th consecutive decline and the lowest since the series began in April 1993.
Mortgage lending grew at its weakest annual pace since June 1999.
