Santa Barbara Photographer, Wedding & Event

I received an email from a bride’s mother from Santa Barbara wedding in 2005.  She is one of my favorite mothers-of-the-bride (See? she keeps in touch with me after almost 2 years).  On her email she mentioned that she has a few people whom she will recommend me as their wedding photographer.  She also asked how long I was going to keep their web album on my website, VenturaPhoto.com/album

We exchanged several emails throughout the day.  She said she would like me to keep their wedding pictures on my website for a long time.  She said she often visit my website to look at the wedding pictures.  I am going to keep their wedding pictures on my website for a long time.  I like their pictures a lot.

Pic 1. Mounted 8×10 in my portfolio case.  I show this to prospects.

We talked about the wedding day…. how fun it was and how hot it got at the reception hall (it wasn’t that hot.  It’s just another fun memory to them).  I told her about the mounted 8×10 print from her wedding that I show to my prospects.  You see, the bride has a twin sister.  So, when I meet prospects for the first time, this picture is a perfect ice-breaker.  It brings smiles to people’s face.  You cannot help but smile.   I wrote that in my email to her.

I took a quick picture of my portfolio case showing a mounted picture of their wedding.  I emailed that picture to her (pic 1).  I explained how I printed them from a digital file.  I didn’t do any retouching, it was just a straight $2.00 machine print.

It was nice talking to her.  It made my day. Thank you and God bless.
