You will find that there is much competition in the wedding photography industry. It is the intention of this article to provide relative novices to the photography business with advice on how to succeed.
(1) Get in place an effective, efficient ordering system online, if your plan is to do destination weddings. It is obvious that your studio will not receive visits from people that are from out of town. Consider doing orders over the Internet. Think about using an additional vendor to handle the sales and orders.
(2) To get referrals for your studio, do some relationship building with other vendors. Remember to include hotels, resorts, and catering and bridal services. Offer portrait sittings, prints and consultations to these vendors at no cost. For instance, be content to shoot (without charge) a suite or portrait shot for a resort. Be certain that you are on the top of the list of vendor referrals. Be on the lookout for new businesses in your area and ask to be included on their preferred vendors list.
(3) Offer top quality - this should be a basic. This signifies that you should create pictures that are correct in terms of exposure, color level, and editing. Take time to make really outstanding books.
4) Above all, have the attitude that you will do whatever has to be done, to make the wedding go smoothly. Do not hesitate about going to the store, prior to the wedding, to get something for the bride, even though you are just there to photograph the wedding. Do not stick to just doing your job of photography. If you assume added responsibilities, this will improve your good name in the business and increase your referrals as a result.
5) Make the effort to form connections with clientele. There are a huge number of good photographers out there. If you make real and personal connections, you provide an added element of service and sense of ease.
If you adhere to the preceding advice, you can boost your success as a photographer in the competitive field of wedding photography.
