Now that the wedding season is over some of you may wonder what do wedding photographers do off season. I only shoot 25 weddings a year and it may sounds like I only work 25 days a year. True? Wrong!!!!
I have no weddings to shoot in December but I am finishing up the last two weddings I recently shot, designing and retouching 11 albums ( believe me, this a lot!), processing print orders, working on a new website. Plus marketing, networking and meeting new and old clients.
Joe Milton, who runs ISPWP, great organization of wedding photographers I belong to, recently published a survey on the ISPWP blog:
