Wedding photography business idea
0 Comments Published by Albert Palmer on Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 7:45 AM.
This is something I have been thinking about for a while. When a couple visit my website it would be a great way for them to read testimonials about the experience other couples have had with me and my wedding photography.
Whilst I want to keep my site as simple as possible I will soon be adding a testimonials page to help improve my photography business.
For example I was thrilled to receive positive feedback from Rob and Katie whose wedding I photographed just after Christmas at Cadbury house. It was great to read how much they liked my work and how easy it was to work with me. I don't often like to blow my own horn, preferring instead to let my photography speak for itself. However I don't think this is going to take me to the next level and a bit of marketing like this will help drive sales. I will be putting my shyness aside in the hope that this will help me generate more business in and around Bristol.

Well I'm waiting for 2462 photos to render in Lightroom so I thought I would write a quick blog post. It was a really nice wedding in Cadbury House, just outside Bristol. A great venue and the lighting was pretty good. It was a much better venue to photograph a wedding in than others I have visited in the area.
Whilst I was there I got chatting to a few of the groom's friends about video and whether I would offer it at weddings. My answer was no.
I keep hearing people say that video is the future, that we will shoot clips of video and take a few of the good frames out to use as stills. However I just don't see it happening. Or rather I don't want to see this happen!
As much as I appreciate video and the technology that allows us to use it in a DSLR I think it would be a nail in the coffin for the skills that make us great photographers. It used to be that very few people were interested in taking the pictures because it was technically quite difficult. For some reason I quite like this idea but it is also great that photography is accessible to everyone. If it wasn't I probably wouldn't have started. But nowadays you don't have to think about exposure or focusing because the camera does it all for you in a microsecond. Whilst I appreciate this and certainly wouldn't be able to get half the shots I do without it I feel like we're in a good place.
I strongly believe that the end result is all that matters and how you get there doesn't matter. But a changing of the genre isn't something I'm not so sure I like.
