What are the advantages of having a professional full time studio versus a part time hobbyist photograph my wedding?

Wedding photography is much more then just showing up with a camera and good intentions. To effectively photograph a wedding without large interruptions of photo taking time and knowing what images the bride will want requires a true professional wedding photographer. Wedding photography is very different from any other type of photography. It requires much more skill and knowledge in many aspects of photography, including lighting, posing and people skills. The full time studio will also have the facilities to photograph your engagement and bridal sessions as well as help you select your albums and wall prints and frames. Your wedding is much too important to trust to anyone but a professional studio.
