Trade Crockpots for Canvases!

So I had this bright idea.... Wedding photography is expensive! {Wedding photography is A LOT of hard work!!} I find myself often caught between wanting to offer brides and grooms a less expensive option but not wanting working for free and not cover my time and costs from shooting a wedding. So many brides have said..."Oh! I love your work, but can't afford you." :( And I understand that. Especially young couples just starting out in their lives together that have to be budget conscious. So I have come up with a solution! I am now offering a wedding package for the budgeted bride. It's a time only package that comes with no additional products or sessions (ex. engagement). It is 4 hours of wedding coverage: before, ceremony, formals, beginning of reception. The price is $650. Not bad right?! 'Then, how am I going to get my wedding pictures though?' Well, we're going to let your friends and family chip in on that part! So many people these days have all they really need for their home and registering for another set of sheets, or a blender is mainly a formality (because you HAVE to register somewhere!) Why not trade crock pots for canvases?! Let your guests give the gift that lasts a lifetime..your precious wedding memories. Each couple will receive 'registry' cards to include in their shower and wedding invitations giving their guests all the information they need to purchase a gift certificate that they can then use to purchase their wedding photos, albums, etc. Friends and family of the couple can come to the studio and look at the various wedding photo products we offer and discuss what they have in mind to purchase for the couple, or for those guests that have to travel, they can go online to the couples online registry and purchase a gift certificate from there. No last minute shopping, no hauling gifts in cars or airplanes, no department store registry frustration! I am very excited to be offering this wedding package to my brides and potential brides! I hope more brides will be able to say: "I love your work, and I'd love to talk to you about your registry package, I think we can swing that!" Blessings, T
