Many weddings today are forgoing an official send off of the couple, however it may be something to seriously consider escpecially if you are planning to have an album of your special day made. The send off is the perfect ending to the perfect beginning. If you aren’t anticipating a formal send off you may want to ask your photographer for a nice night shot of your venue to perhaps end your album with.

As we are beginning to book for summer of 2008 we thought that it would only be appropriate to make brides aware of referred/preferred vendors as we are seeing a lot more venues pushing this onto their booking brides. We feel that it is important to educate our clients and those out there planning their weddings in order to avoid conflict as it is not always stated up front by the venue itself.

Some venues charge referral fees to their vendors should the bride be referred to their services via the venue sites prompting. This can often be any where from 10-30% of the clients booking rate and often the client may incur this should they decide not to use a preferred vendor.

The major draw back of this can be if the venue is in fact charging a fee and pushing the vendor simply because they get a small portion from the referral. This can often be found by simply asking “Why it is they like that vendor so much?” Some venues on the other hand do refer genuinely in the best interest of the client and often it is that venue that is more concerned about the quality of service and product that the client receives from the vendor thus the importance of handing out such a list.

We hope that this RP Tip helps you better understand and be aware of how important it is to ask about vendor fees and how the venues referral list actually works.

At this time we are referring BD inquiries out to http://www.boudoirphotographers.net as we will not be scheduling any new BD sessions until December 2007. Our current schedule is booked solid therefore we cannot take any further boudoir clients for 2007 at this time.

Kindest Regards,

We are back from Chicago and getting caught up here on emails and phone calls. We ask that everyone be patient with us as we are out again tomorrow to photograph TANA (Telugu Association of North America) as we have been announced as the official photographers for the event. We are honored that we have been asked to cover the event!

Unfortunately for our clients and catching up that may set us back until next week as we have decided to take the kids to Yogi Bear campground for a little time away from the hustle and bustle of our daily crazy Regeti lives that we love so much!
