Event Photography Tips

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

A great way to make money with photography is to focus on events. You will be surprised about how many people want events covered and photographed.

How to do it

The key trick is in choosing your market slice. You must choose a slice of the market where people want to keep memories alive in print. It must also be an event that is hard to capture for a not professional so that they will need your services.

One idea is to go to kids sports events. Get permission from the coach to click pics for the parents watching and then start clicking away. If you turn up with a massive telephoto lens like the ones used for pro coverage of events, you will be taken seriously. Make sure you get all the children doing great action shots and then hand out flyers to all the kids’ parents watching with your web address. If you can write down the parents email address so you can email them the URL of you site then upload the pics to your web site that day and email everyone. If you have a simple shopping cart set up you can make money in a few hours as people pop in to see the pics and buy them for $20 or more a pop.

Planning In The Flowers For Your Big Day

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

While there are hundreds of decisions to be made when planning a wedding, perhaps none are as fragile and important as choosing a florist to cater to the event. You can simply pick out arrangements and transport them yourself or you can have them delivered. Either way, remember that the flowers in your wedding can make it or break it — so you may want to consider having them catered instead.

Florist catering is a new aspect of the wedding that has broken traditional grounds of supplying the wedding with flowers by actually having an employee of the florist deliver your flowers and ensure their placement, workability within the wedding, and the maintenance throughout. They will even dispose of the unused and unclaimed remains of the day. Having a florist employee on hand to keep the flowers fresh and the arrangements moving from area to area is a sure way to make that part of your wedding a success.

Weddings In The Sunshine with Summer Wedding Favors

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Imagine that you were going to get married. What would be, in your mind, the perfect place for such an occasion to take place? For many people asked this very question, the first thing that pops in their mind is a church. Occasionally some people answer with a location that is considered to be romantic, yet some think it is unorthodox. The location in which they think of is a beach. Think about it, how many times can you say that you have attended a wedding on a beach? Not very often is it?

The location of a beach causes other questions to arise as well. It often leaves people wondering to themselves what some ideas for beach wedding favors are, as well as if they should also invest in some summer wedding favors to go along with the theme. Both themes pretty much coincide together because when one thinks of a beach, they generally think of the summertime as well. The trick is to find things which actually fit with the surroundings.

Considerations When Wedding Planning

Monday, March 8th, 2010

The very first thing you want to consider when planning your wedding is how much money you are going to spend to get it done the way you want it. Exactly how memorable your wedding will be to you is not a matter of money. Exactly how memorable your wedding will be to your guests probably is a matter of money. Believe me when I say the a guest is more like it to remember your wedding if you say your vows while skydiving buck naked on the back of an elephant, especially if they have to ride one down to witness it. That being said, you have to decide how important it is to you if your guests think your wedding was something special. You, and your closest friends will think so and that is enough for some people. By the way, guest party favors are a great way to help make this day memorable.
