I was about to post this video too. I feel bad for B&G but then they should have done their homework.

GBP 1.5k for both video and photo is on the lower end in UK, so I guess they get what they paid for.

It looked OK to me...

I would have left more pipe organ music in. I like pipe organs. I probably would have done an HDR of the pipe organ.

This is real? This almost looks too bad, I thought it might be a joke... I feel so bad for the couple.

I don't think I would make a good wedding photographer, but geez. Those are simply the basics of photography they failed to fulfill. composition, exposure..

Well, thanks so much for bringing this to our attention.

It was the best laugh I've had today...it really has to be a farce, no one could really pull off the full gamut of photographic gaffs. I mean, come on, no one is that good !!

Yup, it is true. I've seen the story on the Telegraph as well.

This should be shown to price whining prospective clients and "I'm shooting my first wedding what do I need to do" posts.
