Brides.com Controversy

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 29, 2016

A few days ago Petapixel exposed a misinformation article on brides.com titled “Essential Questions You Need to Ask Your Wedding Photographer” which recommended brides only hire photographers that use Canon or Nikon. Brides.com then updated their article shortly after petapixel brought it to photographers attention, which was then followed by an apology letter. Now Jason Lanier is putting brides.com and Tiffani Matsuura on blast by pointing out more problems with the photographer and bridal magazine industry.

I think a true photographer can make any camera work for them, but it takes knowledge and experience. Watch a few episodes of cheap camera challenge if you think gear is key. The only way you should judge a photographer is by their portfolio.
