A story last year reminded me how important it is to choose your wedding photographer carefully and check their work. A couple sued their wedding photographer
Gareth Bowers from Fresh Images over the poor quality of the photos of their wedding.

My comments appear on the Daily Mail website below the article but I've copied them here for reference
I was incredibly surprised that the main Professional organisations (SWPP, MPA, BIPP) have completely missed this huge opportunity for publicity - putting their chairman or spokesperson up for interview would have been a great PR excerise - yet there was NO mention anywhere about the benefits of qualifications. I think it shows how inwardly focussed they are rather than actually looking outside at what is going on.
The problem is he is (still) listed on the SWPP site although his web is down so virtually impossible for couples to know who is and who isn't qualified when it appears the SWPP are recommending him.
