Wedding photography is a complex and essential part of work for those wedding photographers, over the past year or two we have seen a growth of more than 35% in wedding photographers and with the recession there has been a drop in weddings taking place as people have cut back on their budgets and “uncle bob” has offered to do the wedding photography for the couple for £100.00.
With the amount of pop up fly by night wedding photographers, we looked at the wording from ‘bob’s’ websites and found many to be unlawful, we also are aware of the growing legal cases taken against so called professional wedding photographers, who are offering a sub standard service. This of course gives creative professional photographers a bad name.
Making the difference.
When it comes to wedding photography and making your wedding packages you need to look at the true nature of photography to give the service that stands out of the crowd of photographers competing for the same work, we will look at some of the things that you can do to compete.
With national photographers wedding photography service, we have always offered a range of services that are designed to suit and fit the clients for each and every wedding, this of course means that each wedding is photographed differently to meet the clients personality and their wedding, including sometimes where we have to go in fancy dress…
I believe that each wedding is the same in many respects and that it is the personality of the couple and their friends and family that can make the wedding. While photography is painting with light, the capture of weddings should be about painting a reflection of the wedding in a true account.
As you can see in the wedding photo shown, there are different approaches to the photography for each wedding. Some people prefer a relaxed approach to their photography some more reportage and others like the fashion as well as more traditional formal styles of photography, but usually it is the mixed range of photography that people like.
When it comes to ordering prints, the style of photography differs greatly in how people will order their wedding photos and their wedding albums.
Fashion styled bride and groom only photos, they sell out right with every single print ordered that is available, the details do not, however the casual groups will also be ordered in particular to family groups, but as most people have cameras, these are dwindling in numbers.
Developing the wedding albums is the more over all picture where design and a personal touch comes to mind and really show in the album designs.
The detail photos that were taken are used as backgrounds to the pages and then the groups and more traditional photographs are lover the top to give a traditional and contemporary look and feel to the wedding album.
In this wedding album preview video, you can see that there are two designs for the bride and groom to select from, alterations are made by the bride and groom for the album to suit them perfectly.
As you an see in this video of some mixed weddings and albums there are wide range of both wedding album designs and also styles of photography.
And there are more….
As we can see, there are many styles and they are all different to the wedding, the couple and the emotion of the day and thats what makes our service both personal and individual to all our customers.

With the new launch of the National photographer wedding elegance wedding photography service, which was launched on the 6th of January this year. We have seen a rise in people hitting the wedding photography website looking for wedding photographers.
The wedding photography site has seen a rise in the visitors over the week that it has been online and the duration of their stay be extended as we have planned the website to have a 3-way navigation system which offer the wedding photography hunters.
The new website uses a top navigation button system for the basic information that couples may want and then there is buzzwords that help clients find the information such as their wedding venues or certain posts that may have wedding photography or wedding albums contained within the site.
The wedding photography websites search function also allows users to ask questions which will guide them to the answer, and we will be working on this system to cover more content and questions that couples may want to ask the photographers here at national Photographer about their wedding and its photography.
Not only did we post up articles about wedding photography that we do, but we have also given background information into the photography, the styles and how we do some of the things that we do.
The site has averaged 511.37 hits per day over the last 8 days and we will be looking at some subtle changes to the sites content as we believe that there may be too much textual content on the pages. As you know we have wrote many articles about promotion wedding photography and designing wedding photography websites, so why don’t we do it ourselves? well that’s just one of those things that happens.
With the wedding photography site monitoring we can also see what clients are liking within the content and how this effects their use of the website and the contact which is being made. by the clients.
CEO of National Photographer Rory Witham Said ” It is nice to be able to see everything in detail about our users as often you just don’t get the feedback.. I believe that the wedding photography website provides information to the client in a number of ways so that they can have as much or as little detail as they want when on the site.”
With the recent relaunch of our wedding photography service, Wedding Elegance by National Photographer we have been working hard on the website to add the content for this years and next years couples that will be getting married.
The new site introduces more wedding photos and also album design previews to help clients see how their wedding photos may look inside one of our stunning wedding albums.
Currently there are 768 photos of weddings and wedding albums on the website for you to browse. However; due to the amount of information and photos from weddings we have, we have off set the posts which currently date back to nearly the end of Feb. You may not get to see all the photographs just yet but you may have to keep going back to the website for an update.
We have added more wedding albums which can be seen on the website, making the selection that more simple. But on a side note to the wedding albums, did you know that we never limited the album selection available for our clients, so you could have any wedding album in the world!
We have put back the slide show videos on the website allowing you to sit back and relax to watch full screen wedding videos and see the joyful wedding days of our clients. We hope they don’t make you cry as many of our wedding client have done so.
Just like the wedding slide shows, the slideshow have been stagered to post across the next few weeks.
The wedding photography website will give you lots of information on wedding venue reviews, as well as give you information on the photography and how us professional wedding photographers do are thing.
National Photographers Wedding photography website has been undergoing an update since the 5th of January this year with its all new layout and much more content.
For those who have been following our progress over the past 18 months would have seen the wedding photography website launched last at the end of 2009 as we took a break from wedding photography and moved on with our boudoir photography service. In between the website updates we have been blogging and doing a lot of R&D in photography websites to find the common ‘best practice’ for the websites by running around 30 different websites each with different content and ‘eye candy’ to find out what worked the best.
The New wedding elegance ‘wedsite’ has been born from the research and development offering a range of choices for all users.
The top navagation leads the client through a fast track view of the site, services, gallery and packages. With teh current market, we have offered a range of packages to include the disc only wedding photography along with 3 other levels of services to cater for the more upmarket clients with the packages.
We have added more wedding albums for the client to select from and view on the website as it was always our policy to give the wedding photography client the full range of albums that they could select from.
Our next step on the wedding photography packages is to add a custom wedding photography package builder, this will allow for the client to select the package that they really want with the trimming that they want.
Currently the packages are below the average cost for a wedding photography package as this is a new website which we wish to grow trust within.
Some of the older website pages are still ranking high in the search engine results so some users may find themselves on the old website before moving to the new website.
Wedding site Navigation.
The Navagation of the site is tackled with in 3 ways:
The top menu buttons, the categories post links and the buzzwords.
The Buzz word Navagation allows the client to see a word or venue that will give them information on that subject via that posts which we have made. For example:
Kingscote barn wedding photography:
The client viewing the website can search for kingscote barn Click the Buzz word for Kingscote barn or look for the buzz word Barn weddings which would bring up all the barn weddings which have been posted. If a client was also looking for wedding venues, they could click the subject categories for wedding venues, and then look at the venues listed to make a short list for their wedding venue based on the images we have provided.
We also invite photographer who have been a regular at a venue to post a review so using the venue name and word review in the search will bring up the review for the venue.
Website images.
The website has a lot of images showing a real wedding and the posts now cover up until late February with around one post every two days. We have split the posts into parts if the wedding venue and reception is at different wedding venues.
We have made posts about the weddings as a whole and provided posts showing sample albums or /and slide show videos for each of the locations.
The website has currently 768 wedding photographs( including album preview) on the website, therefore the client viewing the website will have a fair idea of the photography and albums they could receive. There are also around 7 video slide shows also on the website, which may not have additional photographs from the wedding itself.
