So what is this E.F.P. technique that every wedding SHOULD use (but most don't even know it exists)?

It's funny it seems photographers will do anything to coax people into going with them for their event, even use scare tactics. Absolutely insane!! But people actually respond to these scare tactics or else these guys wouldn't be in business. I think that customer service and picture quality and price should be the catalyst for decisions, however I can't believe people actually bully clients by scare tactics.... check out this link..

Dear Bride To Be,
Thank you for checking out this website. And congratulations on your engagement! How exciting and romantic! Now, let's guarantee you have a fantastic and romantic wedding day - full of love, emotion and beauty! (Believe it or not, that does take some planning!)
[SIZE=+1]This website is not for every Bride To Be...is it for you?[/SIZE]
If you are looking to have an "average" wedding - one that is stressful and not very organized, one where the guests hardly get to see you, one where you are so exhausted that you can hardly smile. One where it seems like you're constantly putting out "fires" and solving emergencies. One where "so many things just went wrong"...
Then this website is not for you. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Please read no further.
[SIZE=+1]But...[/SIZE]
...if you're a bride who wants her wedding to be PERFECT, and the most romantic, beautiful and emotional day of your life; if you want to enjoy every minute of your day; if you want to be the most ravishingly beautiful bride your friends and relatives have ever seen; if you want to spend wonderful, quality time with your guests; if you want to remember with happy tears in your eyes all the love, emotion and joys of the day...

You may feel like choosing the right photographer is going to be a very difficult task. If you’re at all like most brides, you probably don’t even know what to ask photographers other than “how much do you cost?” and “how many photographs do I get?”

What the funny thing is, I saw this exact same advertisement here in VA, but under a different photographer name which is.....Charles Jablow. Word for word. his hot line number is 703-734-7001 x1. I should call and figure out exactly what EFP photography is......

that sounds scammy ??

 

[BuZzZeRkEr]

Yeah, I called both "HOTLINES" and heard 1 BS recording on how i should leave a message wait to hear from the photographer instead of listen to the hotline, and the other no one even picked up.

oh well, guess I'll never know what E.F.P. is <sigh>

But these are some of my favorite parts in this add

"The one Major secret that will make the difference between the perfect wedding and a disaster"

and

"The vital E.F.P. technique that every photographer SHOULD use (but most of them don't evevn know about it)!
