PUG meeting on Thursday
Friday, February 5th, 2010Raleigh photographer J attended a PUG meeting on Thursday to meet other NC photographers. It is a Pictage User Group hosted by Frank and Elizabeth. It was a great meeting. We had two wedding industry speakers: Joy Edwards and Gail Stephenson. The topics were for beginner photographers and as well as for advanced photographers on how to market for the event and wedding photography. They told us that event planners, first of all, like photographers who dress appropriately and formally. Planners also like photographers who devote their time and efforts to make their clients happy. We also discussed about educating our clients on prices and types of albums, and importance of wedding planners and photographers. Wedding photography is all about brides and grooms in the events, not for the wedding photographers, nor for the wedding planners. We NC photographers agree that the wedding photography is all about bride and groom and other clients being happy.
