My Day With Nick Williams
Saturday 25th February, I spent the day assisting a professional and award winning wedding photographer, Nick Williams, on Bristol based wedding.
The wedding photography lasted just over 6 hours, with me being exhausted from the amount of learning I had achieved in the short amount of time. Nicks style is immensely fast paced and energetic with a great deal of emphasis being places on laughter and jokes to make the whole ordeal of having the photos taken, that bit easier on everyone.
Nick uses a huge amount of off camera flash and plays with natural light amazingly well, with well over 10 years experience in the bag he really has achieved a great platform in which to shoot fantastic weddings.
For me, the day has told me that I need to become a lot more confident in the way I shoot, and pay a huge amount of attention to where the light is in relation to the wedding party i am photographing. With such small time frames in which to shoot, positioning of people has to be done immensely fast, with the same happening when it came to camera settings.
With 6 hours worth of shooting and my own editing time nearer 4, I feel this should equate to 1.5 days towards my work based learning.
Above you will find a select few shots from the day.

Public Liability Insurance (continued)
I HAVE MY INSURANCE
WOOP WOOP!!!!
I decided to go with a company called Finsbury, reason being simply that they were the cheapest for the level of cover i required.
I have £2000000 cover which i feel is the safest amount, my dad works in insurance anyway and informed me that a large personal injury claim for something like back issues, would very quickly wipe out cover of only £1000000.
So i thought £2000000 was a better call :)

My Insurance Quotes
After much hunting, it would seem that so far a company called Finsbury are the cheapest for the 'basic' cover of £2000000. There are other companies offering just £1000000 cover, however i have been advised that if a big case was put against me then £1000000 cover would not be enough. I have a few other companies to search through.
Insurance Quotes
I have currently been looking into public liability insurance with a view to purchase. I have been in contact with Nick Williams, who is a wedding and portrait photographer in bristol, I approched him with a view to getting a work placement, however after a discussion we came to the conclusion that I needed public liability insurance and so began the search.
