I’ve been reading a lot of other photographers’ blogs and every one of them has a blog post of how 2008 has been so great, blah blah blah.
So now it’s our turn to blog about 2008! Not that we want to follow everyone else, but 2008 has been such a milestone for PhotosByMarbles. You’ll see what I mean…
2007 ended with some fantastic weddings, paving the way for 2008.
In April 2008, we applied for membership into WPJA and got accepted! This was to be a huge step for us.
Prior to our listing in WPJA, we had almost no form of advertising, so once we were listed, the enquiries started coming in, and soon enough, we had several bookings for 2008, especially for the year end.
In August 2008, we decided that the website needed a major revamp. The original website was designed and created by a non-professional (yours truly) and we felt that a more professional looking website would be able to match the quality of our images, hence the current website.
So our listing in WPJA continued to make PhotosByMarbles known to the brides and grooms out there, so came the wedding season of September to December 2008, where we shot numerous weddings, further defining our style of photojournalistic phootgraphy.
In December 2008, we started Facebook ads. So far we have received several enquiries from couples who got to know us through the Facebook ads.
So that ends 2008. We are so thankful for the abundant blessings that God has showered upon us and the creativity and passion for our work in this area. I’m certain that God will see us through 2009 with a greater measure!
This year, our portfolio will be updated (hopefully within the next few weeks) and I know that there will be more word-of-mouth referals, which is the most important form of advertisement for any photographer.
Thank you all for your support!
