What a relationship looks like: grandparents

What does a relationship look like?

It’s a theme we blog about as we observe love being made real in the ceremonies and events that we photograph.  Today’s theme is about grandparents.

And hugs.

I suppose that the quality of the hug is a nice visual clue as to the quality of the relationship, and our bride shares tenderness and joy with her grandma and we capture it in her pictures. … Read more

Ryan Stephens Marketing 3 Companies Excelling at Relationship Marketing

Ryan Stephens Marketing » 3 Companies Excelling at Relationship Marketing

Make Love Real

I met  Neil this weekend at the Charlotte Twestival event. He seems like a great guy, and he is, without question, a talented photographer.

In my estimation, there are a lot of people that want to be wedding photographers. Like any other profession in the arts, the competition is probably pretty intense, the playing field crowded.  So what did Neil, and his wife My wife do to separate themselves from other photographers, and start building that relationship with you before you ever inquire about their services?

Check out  this great video they made for their website, MakeLoveReal.net

The video does a great job explaining the name of the company and giving you a really good feel for what Neil values are and what they’re capable of. You feel like you know them before you ever need photos. I know I would rather do business with people I know.

Maybe we excel because our business is documenting relationships!

Thanks for the kind words Ryan, it was great to meet you too -
