To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to write this letter on behalf of John’s Photography. I have known and worked with John for many years, and I have always been highly impressed with his professionalism, enthusiasm, and the high quality of his photography. Even more, I have always found John to be willing to do anything and everything possible to help me, both professionally and personally.

About ten years ago, when I was the yearbook advisor at Cardinal High School (in Middlefield), I became convinced that John was the best choice to fulfill our school’s photography needs. As a yearbook advisor, I worked with three different photographers over the years – I have no hesitation in saying that John’s Photography was by far the best. He not only provided my yearbook staff with high quality photographs and worked with our student photographer, John also always was willing to promptly provide for any other need I might have. John “saved the day” for me many times.

As a varsity head coach, I also appreciated John’s willingness to help whenever I asked. For example, John always searched through his pictures to provide me with a photo to send to the newspapers when one of my players won player of the week honors.

Now that I have children of my own, we have been extremely impressed with John’s work and would choose no other photographer to take pictures of our children. I appreciate John’s ability and patience in working with my kids – the results are high quality photos and a great experience for everybody involved.

I have seen John work in a variety of setting and with a variety of age groups. His work is second to none. More importantly, John provides excellent service – really above and beyond the call of duty. I would not hesitate to recommend John’s Photography to anyone – individual, family, group, or school.

Sincerely,

Andy & Melissa Cardinal

News for Wedding

In the survey by the popular website Shutterfly, it seems that some brides are beginning to be remorseful about some of their budget decisions regarding their wedding day. My interpretation of the survey data is that brides are starting to realize that they should have invested more on their wedding photographer.

According to the survey results, some 22% of recent brides felt they should have spent more money on their photographer. Understand that human nature will prevent many from EVER admitting they make a mistake in their decision making, so this number is probably far lower than reality if every survey participant was totally honest.

There are two things that I want everyone to draw from this. First, brides are actually admitting that finding the cheapest photographer is not always the best choice for their wedding. Second, and even more important, each of you now has some unbiased statistical data from a well recognized website that you can share with your potential brides and grooms. Each of you should work these survey results into your sales presentation when you get to the discussion of the prices for your products and services.

What I find interesting is that Shutterfly is a website dedicated to the do-it-yourself bride and photo enthusiast. It is the most popular site for brides to upload pictures and create albums. Your potential brides are very familiar with Shutterfly. It is often talked about on the wedding forums and blogs to help brides to save money. I feel that some brides will at least pause when you present this data to them.

Considering the way the wedding photography industry is going, this strategy certainly can’t hurt you any. And for those of you who feel I only report the doom and gloom, send along any encouraging info that you find and I’ll certainly share it with the group.

You can read the Shutterfly survey results below.
Shutterfly survey of Brides
Posted by Jennifer Kruger on April 16, 2010 • Leave a Comment
Shutterfly Inc., Redwood City, Calif., revealed survey results indicating brides are do-it-yourselfers; blue is the “it” color this season; and past brides feel they spent too much money on some surprising wedding purchases. Shutterfly also boosted its bridal line of designer stationery with 250 new styles, including engagement party, bachelorette party and rehearsal dinner invitations, wedding announcements and thank yous, as well as new bridal shower and save the date cards.
Though the economy may have impacted pre-wedding celebrations, according to Shutterfly’s Wedding Trends Survey administered by Decipher Inc., March 22-30th, 2010, bridal showers and bachelorette parties are back. The survey polled 422 women who were married in the past 12 months, and 500 women who are engaged and will be married in the next 12 months. Results showed an anticipated 58 percent rise in bachelorette parties and a 47 percent increase in showers.
Responding to this demand, Shutterfly debuts nearly 90 new styles created specifically for those pre-wedding events from noted designers like Dabney Lee, Stacy Claire Boyd and Tag & Co.
Traditional “rules” of wedding planning say that the maid/matron of honor organizes the pre-wedding parties. Although nearly half of survey respondents said that their maid of honor took the lead on planning, the survey also reported a 36 percent rise in brides planning their own showers, and a bump in them planning their own bachelorette parties, too. The study showed a shift away from bachelorette party planning by friends who aren’t in the bridal party (61 percent decrease); more and more sisters are taking on that responsibility (47 percent increase).
Of survey respondents married within 12 months prior to the survey, 28 percent felt they didn’t spend enough money on the honeymoon; 22 percent felt the same about the photographer. Nineteen percent of the same sample reported spending too much on the bridal gown and food.
The study also showed blue is the color of the season. Twenty-seven percent of engaged brides listed blue as their primary wedding hue. Other hot schemes were black and white (24 percent); purple (19 percent) and red (17 percent).

Dear John’s Photography

Thank you so much for yet another marvelous set of Senior Pictures. My son, Clinton, had his pictures done by your studio five years ago and they were amazing, so there was never a doubt where my daughter, Catie, would have hers taken. Your studio had a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with so many background & setting options. The back yard area also lent itself to many choices. The prices were reasonable and your staff was knowledgeable and helpful, but not pushy, when it was time to make our final selection. You and your staff have a great sense of art and humor and it translates into your work.

Again, thank you for the being part of a special time in our lives.

John has been photographing our son since he was 3 weeks old. He has always been very professional, patient, and kind. The amount of effort he puts into getting the perfect shot is awesome! I have tried a chain photography studio once. After my experience at the chain studio I realized the importance of going to a professional photographer. The individual taking the pictures at the chain studio did not put any effort into taking the pictures and ended the session very quickly.

John takes his time and does not rush through the sessions, which results in the quality photos we love. Everyone at John's Photography makes you feel like a valued client and works hard to capture these precisous moments in time. We look forward to working with John for years to come.

Thanks,

Matthew 5:14-16 where He said, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

If you're a follower of Jesus Christ, I wonder if you realize how important you are! Think about when you walk into a totally dark room. What's the most important thing in that room? Isn't it the light? Who's the most important person where you work, or you live, or go to school? Isn't it the one who's the light? Jesus said that's you. If the light isn't working - if it's dim - if it goes out, there's only darkness.

You may say, "You don't know how spiritually dark it gets where I am!" And you're right. I don't know all the details. But it probably looks something like this: the talk is dirty or blasphemous or profane, sin is something to laugh at and brag about, people are routinely backstabbed and wounded verbally, honesty and integrity are hard to find - maybe even unappreciated, Christians are stereotyped as being intolerant, old-fashioned, condemning, and irrelevant. Maybe you'd like to add a few more layers of darkness to describe the place where you're trying to be like Jesus.
