Bridal Show Season

January and February, Bridal Show season for Digital Party Pros. After all the holiday engagements, people are looking to book a photographer. Many out of state couples and just people living "out of area" use the web to find a photographer and luckily, they find us. http://www.digitalpartypros.com

I'm pretty proud of my website, I did it myself and I try to change it at minimum once a year, just to keep it fresh (I'm changing it NOW!). This year we updated our Wedding Gallery, Family Portrait Gallery, and Maternity/Baby Gallery. We updated the content a bit too, and the addition of the blog should help things as well. All to get the word out about DPP. People can even like us on Facebook.

We are lucky to have four photographers with DPP, including me, makes it nice cause we always shoot in pairs. I can't image trying to cover the entire wedding myself. Shooting with someone just makes it possible for more of the action to be captured in pictures. We can also double book a date now, and each team can fully handle their wedding with ease.

New this year, DPP will still be putting ALL PHOTOS on disc with the copyright release, however people will only get photos taken the day of the wedding - straight out of our camera, no retouching or tweaking. The photos we "create" and "tweak" and "retouch" will be uploaded to a private photo website for purchase of prints, canvas, wall art, and even digital download of the images.

Also this year we are going to start offering a $500 upgrade to all our wedding packages for a "deluxe leather" wedding album. This is the large, heavier, leather bound, album with prints mounted to the page. It's a great looking book, and will offer an upscale album to our packages. Our tradition "coffee table" book is the main offering but it will be nice to offer people a different style wedding album to preserve they special day.

Other than some sprucing up of prints and find laying out the booth in a nice way, we are ready for our first bridal expo of the season on Sunday January 16 from noon-5pm at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Williamsport, PA. See you there, and see you at a wedding in 2011.
