I think Michael that it's the influence of celeb shoots and the image that
they have wanting a modern feel. The market being driven by what they have
seen than a vision of their own.
It also give rise to the snap happy amateur who thinks they can do it with
their low budget digital camera, pose a professional and get away with the
results because they are matching the expectations of the couple.
