So I’ve just come back from a sumptuous cheese feast with some clients (hi guys!), where I really couldn’t mesh better with a couple. These people get me and I’m pretty sure I get them. And I thought maybe it was time to muse a bit on “personality-based marketing” and how it’s so great not just for my business but for me as a regular old person who sometimes feels brash or awkward or unappreciated.
I’m not really sure who I’m writing this for. I guess in part it is a cautionary tale for any of the photographers that visit my site because we can always use a few more stories like this. But it’s also for my couples. Anyone who has worked with me knows, but it’s really really important to me that anyone thinking about working with me also knows that I am doing my best to be like Bob (that will make sense in a minute).
Warm. Kind. Generous. Tall. Short. Loving. The bride’s sister Liz read off a huge list of adjectives Karen and David’s friends and family had used to describe them. I looked around the room and saw a lot of tears and a lot of nodding heads. Some came all the way from Egypt to see these two tie the knot and it was truly an honor to be their wedding photographer.
