Richard Clark (Bedford Barrett & Coe member):
“When I received my first wedding enquiry, I felt that I was able to discuss the brides requirements in a confident manner. Imagine my surprise when she rang back and said that she had seen two other photographers (both had been in business for several years) and said that she wanted to book me because I seemed so much more knowledgeable and experienced.”
“That’s what the Barrett & Coe wedding course achieves for you. Prior to the course I had never taken anything more than a few holiday snaps.”
