Wedding Photography by Geoff Thompson-My Vision-Making a Difference

Here is my vision for wedding photography and my involvement as such.

I have photographed Weddings since 1975. I am now not pursuing new weddings.

 I am  open to training a local photographer or photographers  in wedding photography.I have  trained many photographers in wedding photography in the past and some are now successfully pursuing their own careers.

My thoughts have been germinating for some years now about doing "not for profit" charity work with my Photography.
Many people expect to pay large sums of money for their photography and the whole wedding,  and while they have budgeted for this they may  often feel that they have spent a lot of money quite extravagantly on something that is important on the day but all you have to look back on for their money, apart from your personal memories of your big day, are often just the photos and the video.

I feel sure there are couples that would like to make a difference in their community or globally.

This approach enable them to make a contribution through their wedding a bit like how at Christmas time various charity  organisations allow you to  donate a goat or vegie garden as a present through a friend or relative who doesn't really need some extra gift at Christmas but has a heart for the under privileged.

The recipients of the  assistance would be very  grateful.

The happy couple will know their their wedding day has started  something good.
For instance a commitment to sponsor a child through out their marriage may be an option that is woven into the pricing of the wedding photography.

I would gain an enormous amount of satisfaction if someone wanted to be trained and then run with this idea.
Local people(Adelaide and surrounding areas) wishing to contact me for wedding photography training  should do so on my mobile on 0417867476 or indeed anyone wishing to contact me about this vision please email at geoff.g.thompson@gmail.com
