Help Us Help YOU!
blogNow is the time to make your marketing dollars work double time!

The DWF and Two Bright Lights are conducting a special survey to find out what kind of marketing WORKS for our members: Word of mouth marketing, social media, print media, SEO/SEM, blogging, and real-wedding publicity. Which works? Which doesn't?

Take the survey and you get the sneak peak of the results in just a few short weeks. Don't participate? Then you have to wait for the full report, which will be released exclusively to all DWF members. By then, your competitors will already be a step ahead.

This is not the time to leave your marketing money to chance. Take the survey now!

The Light That Fell From Heaven
chuckThat’s how DWF Pro member Chuck Arlund describes it.

He’s driving down the road and sees a fallen streetlamp on the shoulder. Chuck scoops it off the street aims a flash into that giant bowl, and watch what happens.

Featured Member Interview with Susan Stripling
susanDWF Pro Member Susan Stripling tells us.

"It's not about making a pretty blog and buying fancy actions and contributing to the look-alike wedding photography world. It's not about being popular or a "rockstar" or whose name you can drop."

Find out what wedding photography is all about in Susan's very talented eyes in our Featured Member interview

This Week on DWF U Sponsored by Mpix PRO
dwfuDid you see all of the insane content we've got up on DWF U?

Tammy Warnock (our resident boudoir expert) put together a primer to get started with boudoir tomorrow. Is there a sexy shot to go along with it? You betcha. Also online is a great video tutorial from Mike Larson, demonstrating his infamous camera toss where he throws his camera into the air to get an angle few photographers dare to strive for. All of this and more on DWF U sponsored by Mpix Pro.
