Discussion
In Proffesional Photographer magazine this month they have asked three of the world's best wedding photographers to pitch to shoot the Royal Wedding. The photogrpahers are:

I'd be interested to see who the PH 109 forum members think should get the gig

Happy to admit this one is out of my league!(but having looked at the links and watched while wizzy things load and zing about, my site is much easier to use. I do wonder how much of the pzazz is Shockwave Flash and not Compact Flash)

Try it. You certainly won't be bored.
Wedding photography is scary as f***. One chance to get the right picture. Pressure.Although having seen the effort that some couples we saw in the last few years with their wedding photographers, it doesn't seem to bother either the photographer or the couple when there is a crappy outcome.
I would have thought that flying in a team for a distant place ought to be a no-no on a cost and ecology basis so the chap from Nottingham would be ideal if he has no pre-bookings for that day. If he can book the tickets early enough there might be a deal going for the train fares.
Despite my aversion to weddings I would, for a suitable fee, consider offering my services on this occasion I'm sure I coould find a new slant on the images - although nothing that could not be corrected later if required by a little rotation in an editor. Sadly I find myself pre-committed for the period in question and feel that it is unacceptable to break an existing promise for a jaunt to London.
It's interesting that in the digital age the Windsor family seems not to have anyone of note with family ties in the photography trade when once they seemed to be overrun with them. I suppose calling in Koo Stark would be a bit unlikely? And where are OK! and Hello! in all of this?

I expect that anyone being paid to cover the Royal Wedding is not going to be worried by a rail fare!LongQ said:
