Today - I found a older article (2002) from the BBC. This article explains that being a wedding photographer is not as easy as it sometimes looks. But there will possibly be a time that you are asked. And for some unknown reason you agree to take some wedding photos.

I have and it is a hard business. First, It is a one time event and you have to make sure you have all the right equipment and know how to take the right photos at the right moment. And make sure you have backup equipment if your main equipment fails. You don't want to say to the bride that sorry, I could not take any more photos my camera died.

As the Article states - It is supposed to be the most memorable day of your life - BUT, for many of us, the disappointment start when the wedding photos come back from the processor.

This article is based on a breakfast meeting with Lord Lichfield. He was speaking to the National Wedding Show.

The article list His Top Wedding Photo tips - Like:

* - Shoot some photos in black and white - It helps capture the atmosphere of the Big Day.
* - Make sure you know who the important family members are - Otherwise you will find strangers creeping into your valuable photographs.
* - A good photographer will know the most flattering angles but generally it is not standing square on the lens. Most People look best three quarters facing the camera, with their shoulder towards it and the head turned.
