Why Book a Professional Photographer?

We live in a time when photography is the only real international language that can communicate your message across the world. The digital information age we live in is a superb time to capture those memories that can be shared with family and friends, not only for those close by but also with those who are many miles away.

The circulation of photographs is now so prolific everybody is capturing images with phones and sharing on media for all to see. Even if it’s only to show their breakfast meal.

As a Professional Photographer I embrace digital technology. With an MSc in Informatics and my Information Technology knowledge - I will be sure that you and your family get to share these moments, even if they can’t attend the wedding or event you booked me for.

I do this through online galleries, Online print ordering, smartphone technology with apps showing your photographs. I’m sure there is more to follow as technology increases.

As 2021 begins, I thought I would sort out and update my camera equipment. Just like the 35mm film lost out to digital cameras, we are now approaching a time when digital SLR cameras are losing out to what is called mirrorless cameras. This makes them smaller, faster, and with less mechanical parts.

Are they any better? Well, that’s out for debate among the photography community. The same discussion that occurred when digital cards replaced 35mm film.

I use a mirrorless cameras for capturing the moments with my family and my everyday photography. I’m pleased with the results too.

Photography in the digital age

The professional wedding gear I use is Canon. I use Canon cameras, Canon flashes, and selection of Canon lenses to cover any eventuality. Even my batteries are genuine Canon.

So, having been a member of Canon Professional Services for a few years, I decided to update my information with them.

After an hour or so checking and adding serial numbers and date of purchase from invoices etc., I finally finished with over a thousand equipment points.

I have accumulated enough points to become a GOLD member of Canon Professional Services. Probably would have a lot sooner if I sat down and entered all the equipment details and serial numbers.

So, all well and good, but what does this do for me, and for you, as my wedding or event customer?

Firstly, Members get access to CPS Priority Support, both locally and at major events; a priority Fast Track repair service; and for my Gold membership—free back-up equipment loans and return shipping on maintenance.

This allows me the following services direct from Canon:

• Priority Support Helpdesk in the UK

• FastTrack Servicing with only 3 days turnaround of service and repairs

• Free back up loan equipment should I need it

• Discount on maintenance

• Worldwide support.

For you, as my customer, this will ensure I attend your wedding with modern well-maintained cameras and lenses. Have back up equipment and the full support from Canon Cameras UK if I need it.

Book your wedding or event with confidence. Employ a professional photographer for your wedding is a wise move.
