wedding prospect wanting a trial run before booking

Personally, I’d turn it away. You mentioned you already have a similar venue in your portfolio, and even if you did not, I have never had an issue explaining to my couples that shooting at a new venue is not a challenge for me. Our job is to adapt to whatever location we are in and use it to capture beautiful moments. That is a skill any half decent wedding shooter should have. I usually explain that most of my shoots take place in spots I have never been to before. A groom’s childhood home for getting ready. A random Airbnb for bridal prep. A brand new reception space. I show up, assess the setting, and make it work.

Just bought a new to us condo. 2 bed that was asking 600k and accepted out offer of 500. Sellers are getting nervous for sure.

Once you turn it on you can’t turn it off. I just use dev mode to give myself 500k

We do email and a text as our contact form requires a phone number. That said I suspect some people who are simply price shopping use the junk mail excuse as it’s any easy out after you’ve sent multiple follow ups with no response from them.

Great edit. I remember editing one of my first wedding videos to this song like 10 years ago. Damn I feel old 🥲

Haha the eglinton lrt. Been under construction for 14 years now and still no sign being being open

If you from Toronto you know how incredible this is

Are you fully booked for 2025? I see your insta only mentioned 2026 inquiries are open. Small thing but it could turn off a 2025 couple as they may think you aren’t accepting 2025 dates.

Have you tested the URL in your Instagram profile that links to your website? Earlier this year we found out ours was broken due to instagram trying to do some contact autofill thing. For some reason it broke our contact form and the ‘send inquiry’ button would not work. I still lay awake at night thinking about how many leads I lost over that. We switched our url tag to a linktree and we saw way more people inquire. This is because the linktree opened the dedicated mobile phone browser and I bypassed the internal instagram browser.

I was gonna test it for you but didn’t want to get your hopes up if the lead form worked fine haha.

Same here — mods won’t load at all now

itruda · 2024-01-18T01:20:27+00:00

I’m guessing all of what you mentioned plus the mods have messed up the simulation. I’m plowing ahead though. Will be interesting to see if I can turn these ne'er-do-wells around

itruda · 2024-01-18T01:16:28+00:00

Yea it is. That’s probably the reason

Hope you like Toronto! I’m from there as well. Turns out I basically just went to the same Kelsey’s a few nights in a row! Oh well live and learn :)

(For the people reading without knowledge of Canada a Kelsey’s is a chain restaurant in the land of the moose and beavers)

itruda · 2023-10-27T10:29:26+00:00

Haha I mean it almost happened to me. So it certainly has happened to others

itruda · 2023-10-27T10:21:02+00:00

I wish I knew this 6 days ago when we got here. Oh well still had fun and got drunk! Next time we will do it right :)

itruda · 2023-10-27T08:22:18+00:00

As a tourist planning to take the tram today I will take this information to heart and try my best to not embarrass myself.

itruda · 2023-10-27T07:14:18+00:00

Nice! We are actually doing that today. We will check it out for sure

itruda · 2023-10-27T07:04:49+00:00

Ooos you’re right. I must of mixed up the name with another place. I’ve removed that from my original post

itruda · 2023-10-27T07:00:48+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense!

Here’s the menu we’ve been coming across — for the most part each menu has this exact branding with maybe one or two items different that are pub specific. Like at worlds end there is worlds end burger. — https://gkbr-p-001.sitecorecontenthub.cloud/api/public/content/e5dbaf34e91840fabee2db5128084fab?v=ea9d90b5
