Let us eat cake and celebrate... 

Recently, I've wondered if being a photographer has meaning. It's not like we're rushing into fires or saving lives . But then, not everyone is destined to be a hero.

Each of us can make a difference in our normal everyday life. We may not even realize it at the time. For example...

How can photography make a difference in someones life? A new study has shown, predictably enough, that someone undergoing a medical procedure will experience less pain by holding a loved one's hand. Surprisingly, holding a photo of a loved one during the procedure was even more effective!

So next time something hurts, take out that photo of someone close to you and the let the power of photography (and your loved one) help you through it.

Survey says...

A recent survey of brides and what they want from their Wedding Photographer has revealed some interesting trends.

In 2005, 20% of brides hired a photographer for a disc only of their wedding photos.

     

In 2011, 80% of all brides want their wedding disc.

The survey shows that brides appreciate the quality work of their photographers, although there are areas to improve in.

1,  Brides want to see their images in days after the wedding, not 3-4 weeks later! 

2.  Even though brides want their disc, they don't want to wade through 1500 images! They rely on the photographer to present the best images and tell the wedding story.

3.  Brides are frustrated by how long it takes to get their album and what a painful process it is. After planning a complete wedding online, the couple does not want to have to meet with the photographer multiple times to make decisions about an album.

4.  Brides don't like the idea that the average time to get an album is 9 months!

So...what can LDG Photos do for you?

Well, in 2011 we've made a few changes. We will be showing the wedding couple a few images of their wedding within 24 hours after they've taken their vows.  By the time they return from the honeymoon, the wedding images will be uploaded for the couple to preview online. Once they release them, guests from the wedding will be able to see them as well.

These images will be the best-of the-best of your wedding, the cream of the crop, hand-picked just for the couple. Who wants or needs 1500 images?

Let us show you what LDG Photos can do for you.
