| Me and my boyfriend are starting a photography business in the DFW area. We are mainly going to market to local businesses at first to get our pictures displayed (for free, hopefully) and then hopefully people will start seeing our products and want to purchase for their homes, offices, etc. I was just looking for any suggestions, advice or any helpful information that we could use. We are still in the planning stages, but hope to be up and running in a few months. Thanks for all your help! |

| Photography busines is very competitive. Everybody who has a camera thinks they can be a pro. So you will have some difficult times ahead. One thing somebody told me long time ago is not to compete with price but with services. You keep lowering the price eventually you nor your competitor can stay in business.Get some good books on the business side of photography business. I own three book:http://www.amazon.com/Photography-Focus-Profit-Tom-Zimberoff/dp/1581150598/ref=sr_1_1/104-9784059-5630361?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191973403&sr=8-1http://www.amazon.com/How-Start-Home-Based-Photography-Business/dp/0762738804/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9784059-5630361?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191973433&sr=8-1http://www.amazon.com/Business-Studio-Photography-Start-Successful/dp/158115254X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9784059-5630361?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191973468&sr=8-1They are a small price to pay for expert opinion.Good Luck.P.S. The biggest mistake you can make is to assume that if you are a good photographer, then the business will automatically do well. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
