What we are looking for is somebody who loves weddings, is keen to learn and can get along with people. No technical or photographic skills are required as we will provide all the equipment and training.

with your contact details and outlining why you would like to be considered for this opportunity.

The BBC News

Yesterday the National News is full of how one photographer has been (rightly) sued for truly dreadful work.

Just one of the multitude currently giving true Professional Photographers a bad name. Many are new to the profession, many are unqualified, untrained or even part-timers, doing a full time job in the week just earning a bit of spare cash at the weekend.
Think about it, every wedding takes us 30-40 hours of work and uses skill level built from many years experience and on-going training, let alone the thousands of pounds of photographic and computing equipment and back-up spares that are needed.
MHP Studios (Mark Hughes) is a member of the The Master Photographers Association the only Association for Full Time Professional photographers,

Do ask questions of your Photographer, are they insured, are they a qualified Members of the MPA or BIPP can you see THEIR work, do they have testimonials, do you like them as a person, are they passionate about what they do or
is it just for that bit of extra cash?

Price is important, but don’t spoil the wedding!

Question why somebody would offer to do photography AND video for under £1450?
