I also met yesterday with a photographer here in Colorado named Grant Oakes, I just called him randomly and asked if he would be willing to sit and chat, and he was very receptive to it. He has been professionally photographing weddings for about 10 years, he commands a fairly high price and had some great ideas and insights for me. He also offered me the opportunity to tag along with him as an "assistant" some time. He said I would be able to help him shoot the wedding and get a better idea of the flow of the day. That would be extremely helpful to me in building my portfolio and becoming more comfortable during the actual event. He only photographs about 25 weddings a year, and he said he may be able to pass my name along to couples who can't afford his services. That is almost like free advertising, and would be an incredibly helpful way to get my feet off the ground. So all in all a pretty good two days so far this week. I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving break.
The albums that I will be offering to brides and grooms is a fine art coffee table book. They come in a variety of sizes, and either square or vertical format. The cool thing is that you can custom design each page for the album. I arrange and lay out all the pages with all of their pictures, I can add borders, backgrounds, etc. This makes each book unique and custom so that the couple has something nobody else has. I think these books will be very desirable.
