Warning: Auto-Reply Email Sucks |
 Do
you head off on vacation and set your email to auto respond
with one of those “We’re shooting a wedding in Malaysia for
the King and we’ll be back on..” Two reasons you might want to
quit auto-responding:1) Research shows that
auto-responses show indifference and are perceived as
spam, and 2) do you really want everyone to know that
you’re not home for the next 4 days? Some people do believe
auto-responders are just awesome, and that brides will be
impressed. DWF Pro’s have been discussing this almost forever..

An Intimate Interview with Jim Garner |
 Truly
one of Seattle's best, you probably already know that Jim
Garner is one of the featured speakers at DWFC 2010.
And you might also know that American Photo Magazine voted Jim
one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World
this year.
You may even be aware that he is the creator of the Boda
bag but did you know that he began his career as a commercial
photographer before jumping over to weddings along with his
wife Katrina. Jim says he enjoys supporting his fellow
photographers and that we're in this together and we need each
other. Encouraging every photographer to "Get Involved!".

Money Making Thread: Selling Parent Albums |
 DWF
Pro Opie poses the question, "How do I sell parent
albums?" DWF Pros from around the globe are responding with
their advice and answers on how they do it.
If you're looking to add more revenue to your bottom-line,
selling more parent albums could be the untapped well. In many
cases, parents pay for them directly and this money is outside
of the total wedding budget.
