Just had an interesting conversation about how there are so many photographers these days. In this particular case with somebody who had just had their boiler serviced by ‘somebody who does weddings’. Well, that as ever got me thinking, perhaps I should launch into cheap boiler repairs? I have no particular skill or qualifications for that but it can’t be that hard, I could learn as I go…….. .!!!
If you are looking for a photographer for Weddings or Portraits please look out for the letters after their name :-
LBIPP or LMPA – Licensed as competent photographers
ABIPP or AMPA – Associate qualification, highly skilled photographers.
FBIPP or FMPA – The highest qualification for only awarded to a very few exceptional photographers.
It is worth asking which discipline (Wedding, Portrait, etc) they qualified in. Sandra and I are both Associate level in wedding photography.
Unlike a boiler service cutting corners on your wedding photography won’t kill you, but you could be left with a very unpleasant memory. Please only trust a Qualified Professional Photographer.
