I'vs enjoyed my last wedding shoots so much that I have decided to try to build up a more regular business from it instead of just taking the odd referral.
So I've built a new website (www.weddings.davidrichphotography.org), set up a new blog (davidrichphotography.blogspot.com) and shifted all my Qassia credits (backlinks) from my general website to the wedding homepage.
What has surprised me is how much I have earned from Adwords on the blog: more last week than I earned on MyLot since I first arrived here. Even more of a surprise was how quickly my Facebook friends and Twitter followers have expanded. Will it do what I hope and realign my photography business from Fine Art and products to Weddings? I don't know, but it is an interesting exercise.
Keep an eye out and see if Practicaps Weddings starts to turn up in your searches.

you do write long post at your blog. i like the post the wedding: a place to begin. somehow you open up a part of you life to us. and it does give you an idea about what is the life of a photographer.

well most photographers and graphics artist i know don't write long post at their blog. they like to show more of their works than the explanation of their piece or details (oppss i think i'm guilty too). but i love to read stuffs, that is why if i love the post i read it from title to the last dot. in your case i did because it is entertaining, you can learn from it and it has a senses.

Hello, stranger! Love to see the gallery when you post it. If you don't have a dedicated site, I can recommend Online Picture Proof (https://www.onlinepictureproof.com/login.php) which can integrate with your own site or stand alone. It includes a simple sales system to allow people to buy prints, and they offer 1 month free access for you to try it.
The URL for my albums is http://www.onlinepictureproof.com/davidrichphotography/albums/weddings/ and if you look at my wedding site at http://www.weddings.davidrichphotography.org/ you will see how they look together.
