I'm a big believer in keeping things simple! For this reason I don't offer tons of different options for books and a million different complicated packages. I try and keep everything simple with 3 options at the very most. I love the "brag book" that I offer with a couple of my wedding packages and I love "Sequoia leather bound book" that's custom designed (available a-la-carte) AND my new favorite is the wonderful world of canvas. I've recently updated the consultation/office room in my home and I have different canvas sizes featured! In my opinion, it is the coolest way to captured the most important day of your life! I can't wait to share it with the 2008 brides.
That's one of things I'm really excited about in returning to Las Vegas for WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photography International) in March. I get to walk around the trade show and inspect the best books, printing, canvas and equipment companies...and make decisions...and spend lots of money! I highly recommend it for any starting photographer! The seminars and conversation helped shaped who I am as a photographer and I can't wait to grow again!
I know some other photographers read my blog...any suggestions for books, printing, canvas or anything else? Or if you're just starting do you have any questions about these areas?
