Ask any full time studio owner, and they'll tell you never hire a part-timer. Obviously, they are watching out for their bottom line. The truth is, photography is an art, and how the photographer shoots your wedding and the images he produces should be your main concern. If you like the photographers work, he is a trustworthy and upstanding person, and the price fits your budget, it makes no difference if it is a full time studio or a part-time operation.
I am a part-timer, and I am dedicated to providing you the best service possible.
