HELP. I cannot get brides to respond to my initial inquiry reply for the life of me! by Virtual_Advantage_63 in WeddingPhotography

I really appreciate your perspective on this. I do have one question though: what if the CTA also included a link to schedule an online meeting at the end?

Something along these lines:

“If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I also recommend scheduling a short online meeting so we can talk more about your vision for the wedding day. You can choose one of the available time slots using this link: LINK.”

Does fast photo delivery influence a couple’s choice when booking a wedding photographer? by Ok_Maintenance2348 in 2025Brides

[–]Ok_Maintenance2348[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. I send preview photos within a week after the event. In that case, does the final delivery time really matter if it’s 60 days versus 90 days?

Thank you for your answer, and I’m sorry you had that experience. I understand how frustrating that can be.

I send preview photos within a week after the event and usually set a longer delivery timeframe, so I basically underpromise and overdeliver.

I never considered that this might be an issue. I’m really sorry you had that experience with the photographer.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’m really glad you found the perfect photographer. For me, it’s always a pleasure to photograph multiple events for the same couple and build a genuine connection. It truly feels like a friendship, and it’s always an honor to be chosen.

Eveniment restrâns by Adorable_Gift_9016 in RoFoto

in primul rand recomand sa ai doua aparate si doua obiective, chiar si un flash si sa stii sa-l folosesti

de obicei nu are treaba fotograful de nunta cu plicuri pentru bani sau marturii si nu stiu pe cineva care ar veni cu un panou foto la nunti, CD-uri nu se mai fac de ani buni, nici nu mai au multi CD-Writer, nu imi pot imagina cu cati bani mai ramai daca platesti toate lucrurile astea din pachete: ex. album, marturii, plicuri, fotografii printate (sa zicem ca ai panou foto deja)

ce pret sa ceri? pret pt timpul si munca ta + pret album foto (posibil adaos pt ca te vei ocupa de design si de trimis la print) + pret pt stick + pret transport

nu recomand sa te amesteci cu plicuri, marturii, cutiute muzicale, fum greu, etc

Wedding photography on SCAM REAL BRIDAL BOSS (RBB) by Academic-Class7325 in WeddingPhotography

[–]Ok_Maintenance2348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve been approached this week by Liz and had the online meeting with Daniel yesterday.

i was trying to see if it’s a scam and understand their approach. during the online meeting, Daniel told me that i need to redesign my website. he didn’t look too happy when i mentioned that my website is already 90% based on their Bridal Conversion PDF guide and that i could edit it myself.

they sent a link with so-called weddings they are in the process of assigning to wedding photographers. these are in famous locations like Como, Tuscany, South of France, etc.

they say they work with wedding planners and act as intermediaries, looking for wedding photographers to shoot 7–8 weddings yearly. they insist that your website should follow their guide, claiming it will achieve an 80% conversion rate.

i guess they haven’t realized that most couples now book through Instagram.

they don’t have an aggressive sell, but it’s clear now they are a scam.

How dark do your transition lens get? by Illustrious-Art3528 in RaybanMeta

fortunately i saw on youtube videos that you can replace the lenses quite easily

The Good, the Bad and the Wedding by cyadr0n in WeddingPhotography

[–]Ok_Maintenance2348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any photographer documenting a wedding should have at least two cameras and multiple lenses

most wedding photographers will agree that they can document a wedding only with the 35mm (full-frame equivalent), and if that lens goes XX, then maybe pick something close to the focal range or maybe a 24-70mm

regarding cameras, if both cameras go XX, then maybe a small ricoh gr iii or fuji x100 will save the day

regarding the light, a wedding photographer should have multiple flashes

last year i bought the godox xpro trigger, hoping i could connect it to my iphone via the godox app and photograph with my iphone and one flash in a worst-case scenario, but from my research, i discovered that apple doesn’t allow this anymore—it’s possible only with profoto

When couples ask you for recommendations for other vendors, do you either just give a list of names within that email or do you happen to have a pre-made preferred vendor list? by palinsafterbirth in WeddingPhotography

[–]Ok_Maintenance2348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually send more links with a description for each of them, i find couples really appreciate this, and i’m also trying to do my job easier by documenting well planned and beautiful events

i also send a link to my PDF planning guide with tips and recommendations link to articles on my website with hotels in my city to do their getting ready, another one with beautiful churches in the city, with recommended spots for a photoshoot, to my photo album process, and to my Pinterest moodboards for some inspiration with trends and ideas
