He kindly contributed some incredibly useful information to my book, "How To Get Married In Green" - and it's worth mentioning that his approach is relevant to all photography, not just the wedding variety. All good wishes ... Suze I’m so glad to see that Andrew’s green initiatives are being appreciated!

You only get one chance to have your wedding photographs done and leaving it to chance is a big risk which isn't worth taking for a couple of hundred pounds. My sister got married and hired a friend of a friend who "was really good at photography". He was a nightmare. He could take photos, but he couldn't organise people, didn't know which shot would look the best, so spent ages arranging people, then moving them, then moving them again. Pretty soon everyone lost patience and while it didn't ruin the day, it did upset a few people. Being a wedding photographer isn't just pointing a camera and clicking away. You need to know which photos work, how the lighting affects the shots and how to direct people (which comes with experience, not with reading a photography magazine). Always choose a professional where possible Hi,
