So I’m in the midst of designing my all new wedding guide for 2013 and I thought that it would be fun to feature other photographer’s work in the guide for preview purposes at Two Pear Designs in addition to my own……variety is always nice right?! So the new guide will currently be sized at 8.5″x11″ but since everything is left in .PSD form, it can easily be downsized to suit your needs. Whether you’ll be using an online viewer such as ISSUU.com or printing, this guide will offer you a lot of variety and at the same time allow for complete customization to fit your branding. More than three quarters of my clients are from out of state so most of the time and in person meeting is out of the question. Skype has quickly become an important part of my business! In the past, I’ve simply emailed my price list when requested if the date was available. There’s so much more information that potential clients should consider though in addition to the cost. I felt like I needed to take the time to put together a guide so that potential clients could get an understanding of my style as well as learn a little bit more about me. Here’s a preview of what has been designed so far (still some blank spots where more photos and text need to be added)…….

The design will include all of the text that I’ll be using for my own guide which you can easily alter. So here’s the contest part of it. If you’d like to have some of your wedding work featured in my guide and receive the guide ABSOLUTELY FREE once it’s all finished, simply do the following….
1) Like Carrie Ann Photography & Design Facebook Page- http://www.facebook.com/CarrieAnnPhotography
2) Like Two Pear Designs Facebook Page- http://www.facebook.com/TwoPear
3) Send a small sampling of wedding photos (up to 4 photos) you think would be a great fit for my guide. The photos should be no larger than 900pixels x 599 pixels (I’ll ask for full size photos later on if your photos are selected.) I tend to lean towards natural vibrant colors and not overly processed photos using heavy actions, etc…..though a good black and white will always melt my heart! Send your photos to me at carrie@carrieannphotography.com
Two winners will be selected and will receive the guide ABSOLUTELY FREE just for sharing your images for preview purposes (credit will be given of course!) Entries will be accepted until 10pm (EST) February 29th EXTENDED TO MARCH 1ST. If you don’t shoot weddings, but know someone who does, feel free to refer them to the contest and tell them to mention that you sent them my way and you may just receive a little something special yourself!!
EDITED TO ADD:
Just thought I would mention the current topics that are included in the guide…….
About Me, My Approach to Wedding Photography, Packages/A La Carte Options, Elopement Packages, Digital File FAQ’s, Custom Albums, Why do a First Look?, Vendor Love, Happy Planning with Contact Details.
Feel free to list any additional ideas you’d like to see in the comments below though!!
