Word of mouth ..

An old pal of mine is setting up as a 'Bespoke' Wedding celebrant, and asked me for a quote to put into her first blog. My heady advice was that couples planning a Wedding shouldn't get "too worked up" and  .. oh, you can read the rest yerself! Very pleased that she thought of me, though, and I wish her well in her new venture ..

Maybe I'll get to recommend her in return when I do my next Wedding Fayre. On Sunday I'll be at Hollin Hall, near Macclesfield, for my last event of the year. I'm now the only photographer that the hotel recommends, and very much hope that brings in the bookings for next year. There's nothing better than good old 'word of mouth' ..

What friends are for ..

Friends! Word of mouth! Just what a Wedding photographer needs to make his business tick along ..

I once photographed - over the period of about five years - the Weddings of three sisters from one family, the later two obviously seeing me work at the first sister's Wedding. Now I'm on the verge of getting two new bookings Weddings from the friends of one bride I photographed recently. One booking is definite - I'll see you in April, Helen - and the second bride is just trying to juggle her budget having decided she really likes my work. There's no better recommendation than that of your bezzie mate. Cheers, pal ..
