    im friends with a few photographers on facebook and have got to know a few of them quite well :-) if only through fb.
    Anyway one of them does a daily tip and todays i LOVE, so ive decided to share it :-) so here it is...............

    Today's photo tip - when you're interviewing photographers, ask them to tell you about their cameras and lenes. It's not what they say in their answers, it's how they say it: if it sounds like they're talking about their children, book them! :)

    For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart
    It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

    It's right what they say
    "The course of true love never runs smoothly"
    But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
    much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

    That's interesting, as a photographer I hold a completely different view - it's the equipment BEHIND the camera that does the work - it's the eye and the brain. I couldn't give a monkey's about my equipment, it's just tools.

    The greatest photographers can be given a crappy disposable camera and they'll still take pictures WAAAAYYY better than the rest.

    I don't want to get hung up about my kit - if I need to get it dirty, throw it, bash it, poke it down a hole, wave it on a stick, fix it to a kite - to get the picture - then that's where my babies going :)

    Hmmmmmmm.

    I do LOVE my camera, but then, as all my equipment was stolen at Easter by theiving grubby scumbags, maybe I'm a little over protective.

    But I've been taking picures for friends and family for as long as I can remember (I got my first camera when I wa 6), and I do totally love my new camera and lens, but it is also down to who is behind the camera.

    As Simon says, and so does my Mum (so must be right) lol, that I could get decent pictures with a disposable as well as the pro camera I have.

    exactly. Also if you feel happy and comfortable with them.

    Having a pre-wedding/engagement shoot will definitely help you build rapport before the big day
