Can They Say Ouch? And Still Do It?

Accidents happen and one happened to me today. I dropped one of my camera bodies and thankfully the UV filter broke rather than the body or lens itself. The UV filter is stuck on the lens but it's repairable. Yeah for me!  This brings up a point that is something you should consider when booking a photographer; do they have back-up gear? If something were to happen to their camera would they still be able to photograph your wedding, event, or portrait session?  A portrait session can normally be rescheduled. Special one time events such as weddings and special services can't be restaged so make sure the photographer you hire has back-up gear for your special occasions. Yes, I have back up gear and a back up to the back up! I'm saying ouch but the studio is open.
