Professional Database designer? Maybe. Judging from his slideshow he's a pretty good "uncle with a camera" but if he's charging people for those shots...
There used to be a saying "on the internet no one knows you're a dog" which I choose to interpret as "anybody can be an expert". There is at least one thread elsewhere on this forum that discusses wedding photography.
Those pros who choose to shoot weddings have my total respect. Just the thought of bearing the responsibility of getting all those shots, and getting them perfectly scares the he** out of me.
Being the cynic I am, I think the purpose of his article was more to boost his SEO and give him bragging rights about being published than anything else.
Funny. I've seen several "pro" wedding photog sites and none until recently have impressed me. FYI. I'm no pro and you couldn't pay me enough to assume the liability of possibly p***ing off a bride and her mother. But, if you'd like to see some great engagement and wedding images, check out this site:
