Why choose a MPA qualified photographer?

I have always wanted to mention this and thought that it would be a good opportunity to write something on my blog.

Why choose a member of the MPA as your wedding photographer?

Well, unfortunately there is not a governing body regarding photography. I really wish there was! However, we have the MPA (Master Photographers Association).

I look at the MPA as an organisation that gives quality assurance to the public via qualifications and awards.

Apart from this quality assurance, the MPA is the only UK organisation for full-time photographers.

I just thought that when choosing a photographer I would recommend that you ask about qualifications. There are several other organisations including the SWPP and BIPP and they also provide qualification opportunities for photographers.

Thanks
Scott
