<p>There&#8217;s no bigger compliment than having someone refer me. I appreciate so much when a couple &#8211; their parents, a friend &#8211; takes the time to share their experience and photos and recommend someone work with me. There&#8217;s also something about that connection that puts people at ease. It takes away some of the doubt of &#8220;who is this person&#8221; when you&#8217;re able to draw upon first hand experience. This may sound crazy but it works the same way for me. When I am able to work with such amazing clients I can only hope they will send their friends of similar taste to me.</p>
<p>I value the friends you refer to me so much that I&#8217;m officially enacting my 2010 referral program. This applies to everyone &#8211; you don&#8217;t have to be a current client to take part in this so everyone really wins. So before you fall off the edge of your seat, let me tell you how it works:</p>
<ol>
<li>Tell your friends who are engaged to contact me</li>
<li>Your friend contacts me, mentions your name, and books their wedding</li>
<li>You receive $100 print credit and your friend receives $100 print credit</li>
<li>Use your credit within 1 year on a new session</li>
</ol>
<p>How does that sound- pretty simple, right? I really can&#8217;t have credits last forever and ever, which is why they must be used within a year. However, you can totally refer 7 friends (or more) and store up $700 of print credit for your next session if you&#8217;d like. Now, it&#8217;s a different story if I shot your wedding. If I&#8217;m your photographer and you refer a friend, you can use credits up to 1 year after the wedding on your own photos &#8211; yes your <strong>own</strong> photos! So, after the wedding, tell a few friends, and perhaps have enough credit to get that gallery wrapped canvas you&#8217;ve been eying. One year after your wedding, you will have to follow the normal rules like everyone else and apply the credit towards a new session&#8230; but then you can do an adventure bridal session, some updated family photos, or newborn pictures when your baby is born!? haha I think I just got some stink eye on that last one.</p>
<p>Thank you so much to those people who have sent weddings to me in the past. I appreciate it so much and it really is what allows me to keep doing what I do. I love getting to know my brides + grooms and it is even more fun when I&#8217;m able to see them at other weddings as well. I look forward to working with more connections and sending you some prints + products in the process!</p>
