Ten Houston Wedding Photographers

Saturday, August 28th 2010

There are many things that can make a wedding photographer popular.  The quality of their work of course plays a very important part, as can the price of their services.

Whatever the reason, a wedding photographer’s time can become saturated rather quickly with reservations.  After all, there are only so many weekends in the year, and once a wedding photographer has been reserved for a specific date, he/she can not book another wedding for that same date.

This means, all throughout the year I’m happily referring couples to other wedding photographers (my friends) because I’m already booked on the date in question.  Which brings me to why I am writing today.

I would like to share a resource for couples in Houston who are searching for a high quality Houston wedding photographer.

Ten Houston Wedding Photographers is a fantastic resource for finding a small listing of prequalified wedding photographers.  In order for a wedding photographer to be listed on the site, they must meet certain criteria.

So, you may be asking, why am I directing my readers to this site? Aren’t I just leading people away from my site?  Well, I too am proudly listed on Ten Houston Wedding Photographers, not to mention the fact that I am the creator and owner of Ten Houston Wedding Photographers.  I will soon be expanding the site to cities all over the country.

Bridal or Family Portrait Created On The Edge of The Grand Canyon

Sunday, August 15th 2010

Like most business owners, I have dreams. Some are big, and some are small. Lately I have had some really big ones. So big, I’m compelled to write about them as I feel it may help them to become a reality.

One dream I’ve been having over and over lately is of a bridal or family portrait. Mostly, the dream is of a bridal portrait. The thought of accomplishing this dream as a family portrait didn’t really hit home until just as I was writing this blog post.

The dream is as follows.

I pack my camera bags and hop on a plane with my client(s) headed for Phoenix, Arizona. A second flight is caught which takes us North to Flagstaff. We rent a car in Flagstaff and stay the night,. We wake few hours before sunrise the next morning, jump in the rented car and head for the edge of The Grand Canyon.

Can you see it?

A bride on the edge of The Grand Canyon at sunrise? A 20 foot cathedral veil blowing over the edge. A bridal portrait to end all bridal portraits.

Can you imagine the same scenario, but this time done as a family portrait? A family portrait of three generations captured on the edge of The Grand Canyon at sunrise. Heavenly. A family heirloom. A priceless treasure.

The more I think about it, the more I feel it really wouldn’t be that hard to do. An airline flight per person to Phoenix from Houston wouldn’t be that bad. A hotel room in Flagstaff and some Mc Donald’s would hurt the pocket book that much either.

Please contact me if you’re interested in helping me make this dream become a reality for you and me.

In fact, I think I should plan a trip to do this with my own family. Not a bad idea.

Corporate Photography

Sunday, August 15th 2010

If you have been folowing my newsletters and blog, you will have noticed that I have begun to add a bit of corporate photography to the mix, giving me now three services that I offer; Wedding, family and corporate photography. In this day and age, it is a good thing for me to add a bit of variety to the services I offer. To help me in this task I have been researching corporate photography, and I cam across a bit of humor that I thought I would share.

This video was found on You Tube.
