Have the Most Magical and Romantic Wedding Day of Your Dreams!
Dear Bride To Be,
Thank you for checking out my website, and congratulations on your engagement! How exciting and romantic! Now, let's guarantee you have a fantastic and romantic wedding day - full of love, emotion and beauty! (Believe it or not, that does take some planning!) My name is Paul Floyd, and I LOVE weddings! I've been photographing them for 15 years, because I love the romance and the whirl of emotions that surround the wedding day.
Maybe you've seen my photography display at E.J. Thomas Hall or have seen one of your friends wedding volumes and you wondered about what kind of photographs I would create at your wedding. Well, I'm going to tell you...
SECRET #1
Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up
To Your Dreams
Believe it or not, the photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make or break your wedding day. Yes, your wedding day - not just your photographs! Why? Because he's THERE - with you and your family, in person - interacting with all your family and guests - and representing you every minute.
Now, HONESTLY, we're not just talking about photography here - we're talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything goes. You see, your photographer determines this, by the way he helps you plan your wedding, the way he treats you and your loved ones, and the way he conducts himself throughout the day.
Here's the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire anyone to photograph your wedding! Most brides don't realize that many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their weddings for them - college kids, friends, relatives, etc. This means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson, look at their samples, and make a decision - without really knowing who will be photographing your wedding! You need just the right person doing the photography, and interacting with all your family and guests for the day to go according to plan.
So, when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the following questions:
- Who did these photographs you are showing me?
- Who will be photographing our wedding if we hire your studio?
- We want to MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio.
Then, when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:
- How will you dress at my wedding?
- Did you do ALL the samples of wedding photography we saw in the sample books?
- How long have you been photographing weddings?
- How long will you be at my wedding?
- Before you leave our wedding, who do you check with first to see if there's anything else we would like you to do?
- Do you work from a checklist of photos? (You NEVER want a photographer who needs a checklist doing your wedding photography! He'll spend all his time looking at the list, and miss all the spontaneous moments of your wedding!)
Then, decide if you REALLY LIKE HIM, as well as his work! Because he's going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family and friends, on your important day.
Here are my answers to those questions:
- I'm the ONLY photographer at my studio, and I will photograph your wedding personally. I will dress in a nice suit or tuxedo (NOT JUST A SHIRT AND TIE!)
- I have been photographing weddings, for 14 years.
- I'll be at your wedding until you and your husband say you have nothing else for me to do. I will NEVER leave your wedding without checking with you!
- I don’t use a checklist. Instead, I learn the names and relationships of all the members of your wedding party, and both families! I refer to them by name, and I know their relationship to you, so I can be constantly watching for those special moments that will be so meaningful to you to have photographs of!
SECRET #2
Announcing The Single Most Important 'Secret' You MUST Know About Weddings!
Here's a really big "secret" that almost no brides think about when interviewing a potential photographer: What's their guarantee? What happens if you aren't happy with the photography, or the way you and your friends were treated, or if the photographer left your wedding before he was supposed to, etc. How many brides do you know that aren’t really happy with their photographs? Probably a few. I meet them all the time at weddings! Bridesmaids tell me about their photographer, how he was pushy, they were at the altar posing for hours and how their photographs are just “O.K.”
This is of the utmost importance! The guarantee (make sure it's in writing!) tells you just how committed they are going to be in taking good care of you, and doing a great job.
100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:
You will be THRILLED (not just 'satisfied') with how we represented you and your family at your wedding, and also THRILLED with your photographs or I will return ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. No hard feelings either. I want you to LOVE everything I do for you! That's how committed I am to taking good care of you and creating images on your wedding day that you will love forever.
This is a "once-in-a-lifetime" moment and everything MUST be perfect! You have my written guarantee that I'll take really good care of you!
SECRET #3
Testimonials Tell The Real Story
Be sure the photographer has lots of happy brides and grooms, who have written him and told him how happy there were with both him, and his work! From real people, with their full names, and their city and state, so you can call them if you want to, just to "check them out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer claims. It's important to be certain that people are telling you the truth.
Throughout this webpage are photographs and testimonials from some of the brides and grooms whom I have been honored to work with. With permission from each bride, FULL names and cities are listed, so you may contact them if you wish. In fact, the last few brides that picked up their finished Volumes gave me special permission to give their phone number to any potential bride who wanted to ask any questions about me!
SECRET #4
A Magic Way To Have A Great Wedding
Look for someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER! Choose an artistic photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of your family, your friends, and your wedding day. This is really important, if you are looking for photographs which will be PRICELESS to you for years and years to come!
A great photographer will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic can truly understand how important this day is to you, and how perfectly you want it to go.
I could tell you so many horror stories here. But let me just mention one so you understand how important this is.
Not long ago, I heard about a photographer who was hiding behind some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NEVER do!) and he dropped a lens on the marble floor with a huge crash, and then swore out loud so loud that everyone heard it! (He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of the ceremony by hiding behind flowers where everyone could see him come and go - and, of course, there is NO excuse for profanity!)
A romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER will beautifully tell the story of your love for each other, and for your family and friends. This also results in someone who will respect you and your wishes by conducting himself in only the most professional and friendly way. He understands the importance of the "Story of Your Wedding Day."
SECRET #5
Fill Your Wedding Album With Wonderful, Emotional Moments!
I don't really look at it as "wedding photography," but rather as "Emotional Family Photography created on your wedding day!" It's all the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your lives. "E.F.P." is one of the major things that separates me from all the other wedding photographers in the area. After all, isn't that what you really want?
It's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see the beautiful dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see the lovely ceremony. But you will see much more than that. You'll feel the emotions that you and your fiancée feel toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this magical day. Yes, FEEL them each time you view your photographs. That's what I am driven to do for you!
You want photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect, and the glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day. You want your photography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, AND your families and friends. Unfortunately, most photographers just want to "record the event, and go home."
I want you to cry when you see the photographs! Cry tears of happiness, because in those photographs are all the people you and your husband love and care about - showing their real personalities and emotions like you never dreamed they would!
" Don't Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of Your Day Because Your Photographer Didn't Have The Vision To See And Capture Them In A Sensitive, Romantic Way! Your day will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments" that you will never experience again in your life. Those "Moments" are what I want to capture for you.
Here are a few examples:
NEW! - An Amazing And Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express Your Love For Your Dad On Your Wedding Day!
As a father myself, I can assure you that one of the most emotional moments in a dad's life is when he "gives his little girl away" at the beginning of your ceremony. Your dad will never forget it.
Now, there's something full of emotional magic that you can give your dad when he gives you away! At that very powerful moment in his and your life, you hand him a surprise "Father's Pride" that he carries with him back to the pew, and as he reads your personal message to him, and looks at the emotional photograph of you in your wedding gown, he begins to cry with tears of joy and love!
He will be so moved and touched! You and he will never forget it!
Don't miss that moment!
The Magic Moment When The Love Of Your Life First Sees You!
Or the incredible moment when your fiancé first sees you in your wedding gown - perfect in every way - with your lovely flowers, the beautiful veil and headpiece - everything which you selected specifically for him - as the tears swell up in his eyes, and he tells you how very much he loves and adores you.
Don't miss that moment!
A Magic Moment With Grandma
Or, if you are lucky enough to still have a living grandmother, the lovely moment when she reaches up and puts her arms around you, and with tears in her eyes, tells you how beautiful you look and how much she loves you, and how proud she is of you.
Don't miss that moment!
Your entire day will be made up of brief, priceless moments like these. Let's make sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and planned that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help you to be so stress free, but excited, that you can enjoy and remember these wonderful, magical moments for the rest of your life.
How do we do that?
I'll bet you think I'm going to say that you do this through the photography, right? Wrong! The way we help these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional day! A day where everything goes perfectly. As long as we do that, the rest will take care of itself!
That's what I will do for you.
If you ever talk with a photographer who says, "Your photographs are all you will have after the wedding is over. Your flowers will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - but you'll have your photographs! They are the most important thing about your wedding!" - then he's NOT the photographer for you!
Why not? Because if he says that, he has a completely false impression of his importance, and will try to run your day and take charge! Don't let that happen! Because the photographs ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - the romance, emotions and relationships are the most important thing!
SECRET #6
How To Be Assured That You Will Be
The Most Beautiful Bride Your Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen!
You deserve to have a wedding day where you are the most beautiful bride any of your friends or relatives have ever seen. That's the dream of every girl when she begins visualizing her wedding day. And you deserve to have that!
Let's see to it that is exactly what happens! How? Simple. Yes, you will select the perfect dress, headpiece, veil, flowers, shoes, etc. Yes, you will have your hair and make up done. But it goes much deeper than that.
Beauty is also in the way you FEEL on your wedding day. The way your emotions show on your face, and the way you glow when you walk down the aisle and look in the eyes of the love of your life.
When you hire me to photograph your wedding, you're really paying for me to be there. To take all the pressures and tensions out of the day for you. You know that I’m there, and that I truly care about you, and will help you with EVERYTHING so the day goes perfectly. That's really what brides are paying me for. The photographs are free. They're just an added "bonus!"
If you, your husband, and your family and guests are all having a wonderful time, you will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would be. Because there will be no tension. Your photographs will be WONDERFUL, too, because you looked so wonderful and were having such a great time.
See how it all "fits" together to result in a wonderful day, and wonderful photographs? You really can't separate them!
Here's What To Do Right Now!
Pick up the phone and call me right now. Ask if I still have your wedding date available. Here's the problem - because I am so well known and respected in the community, and because I strictly limit my weddings to no more than 30 each year, it is very possible that I will already be booked for your day.
CLICK HERE for the phone number to my studio, and my personal email address. Remember, there's no cost and no obligation just to talk with me.
So DO NOT WAIT EVEN ONE DAY ON THIS! If you agreed with and liked anything on this webpage, call me NOW. Let's just talk a bit, see if your date is still available, and then, if you would like to, we can set up a time to get together in person and talk about your wedding.
A fantastic, happy, and stress-free wedding is just around the corner, and I'm ready to help you achieve it, as well as capture it forever!
Sincerely,
Paul Floyd
