Inventive Wedding Photography Service
Saturday, April 5th, 2008Yesterday I came across an inventive Wedding Photography service that I hadn’t heard of before: The Proposal Shoot. Fort Worth Texas based and FocalPower Quote Widget patron David Kozlowski recently discribed this concept on his blog.
As a wedding photography this is an interesting option to offer to prospective customers and help increase your revenue per client. You would need to advertise this differently than you do your other serices however. As most grooms (statistically the one who does the proposing still) probably don’t think about wedding photography until well into the wedding planning. A focused advertising model would be needed to get the word out to them somehow before they propose.
The Proposal Shoot also has some risk. One of the most interesting parts of being a wedding photographer is that your dealing with one of the most dramatic moments in people’s lives. Human drama can lead to wonderful photographic experiences. During a wedding the drama should all be in a general positive sense (most negative drama occurs during the reception). With a Proposal Shoot, there is a higher risk of negative drama…imagine if she said now or wasn’t as enthusiastic as the he envisioned her to be.
I would always require payment up front for the Proposal Shoot…just in case.
