Weddings. Every little girls dream, every boys nightmare, and a whole lot of money all being invested in the biggest celebration of a lifetime. Just because it’s a dream, does it always become a living fairytale you would find in a Disney movie. Not likely. Not for most photographers anyway. The expectations of brides, and more importantly their parents, has become almost unrealistically high. However, there have been more and more “photographers” to choose from, making it easy for people raise their expectations, because they know there is always someone else who needs the work too.

Customer service is becoming the leading difference in wedding photographers, because while people have less money to spend, prices have not moved a whole lot, therefore leaving only attitude to be the only difference. As I had mentioned before “does it always become a living fairytale” well now it does. As a fellow wedding photographer I find that if you engulf yourself into every aspect of their day as possible, that brings out your interest in their day. While shooting I have noticed the spiked interest really reflects in my photos as well. This ongoing inclusion with what you do for your clients is more than just “good customer service” it builds the obvious client relationships, but also if builds (on a more personal level) friendships. Along with the heightened enthusiasm and modern technology to be personally connected at any moment; a photographer is given some of the biggest tools to building their business and maintaining their clients.

Keep personal, become a part of their lives (not their wedding), and make their dreams come true!

Happy weddings
