So I'm planning to get a table at an upcoming wedding expo.
Any advice from people who have had success at such events?
As far as what I'm planning so far: It's apparent that female photographers are more popular as wedding photographers, and the trends are lending to more photographer teams as well. I know a few couples who've had success, but since that's not something I can offer, I'm currently working with a girl and grooming her to become a potential business partner in this sense and help me at the table. She's a photographer, and she has potential, but she is pretty new. I have been teaching her.
The other option that was suggested to me: one of my clients expressed interest in helping me run my table. She's a bride whose wedding I've shot and a very social and bubbly girl. She wouldn't be able to show that united photographer front that I'd be going for with the other option, but I can't imagine too many other photographers will have a live testimonial, which could be pretty cool.
And of course I plan to have plenty of products displayed and all that jazz.
Thoughts?
