Nice work Gerry. Some analysis on the budget and expectations of brides would have been good though. After all, it’s the bride that sets the price on what photographers can earn from wedding photography. Personally I only see a return of a growing economy to relieve pressure on professional photography. ie more jobs available to the the part time photographers so they move on to more stable income and brides have more disposable income to spend on photography. Personally the only people I see getting married are in the public service. If the govt. cuts their wages God help us.
Good luck, take care,

I think you should look at a nikon dslr. All there old lenses fit the crop sensor models. So if you could pick up a cheap body, then over time you could expand your focal lengths with manual lenses. Check out Thom Hogan for more on nikon crop dslr and manual lenses and a list of what lenses work. Bit of hunting will find a list on his site. Check ffordes photographics and mpb photographics for secondhand prices. They are usually at the high end for prices but do come with a warranty. Also check camerapricebuster in the u.k. for daily pricedrops. I shoot canon now and their old lenses dont fit new dslr. I think thats right, could be wrong. There’s also a website ukcameras that has a list of other camera shops on it. think that it. Any hassles send me a email, almorrisphotographygmail.com
Good luck, take care
