"Do you shoot in San Fransisco?" Nope.
"Do you know anyone GOOD who does?"

This was asked of me awhile back from a client who may get married upstate (and wants me) or may get married in SF. I had no answer. Eric suggested he would go anywhere, so I recommended him.

I feel one of the biggest boons to being online is the ability to say to a client "Oh, your sister is getting married in Orlando? Ok, well, I don't travel that far, but I know this great photographer in Tampa who would love to make the drive over."

Point being, there are TONS of fantastic wedding photographers here. If you would give me your URL and location and name, I will check you out and add you to my growing list of long distance referrers.

I'll start:

Matt, I'm getting back into weddings after a 25+ year hiatus. I did dozens back then. I have one scheduled for December and another pending for April. My problem is that I don't have a wedding portfolio (including website) to market myself - yet. That'll come...

With that said, I'd appreciate any referrals you can toss my way (on faith?). I'll do the same for you.

Who and where I am...:

I'm adding you to my referrals list. You may get more than your share from me, since I'm in upstate NY as well and I have contact with brides in this area. :)

Sounds great, Matt! ...And I'll do the same for you if I hear of anything happening in the Syracuse area.

That would be awesome. I posted this on Fred Miranda and PhotoForum - we'll see what kind of network we can get going.

My site www.photovisage.com (such as it is), isn't really ready for prime time yet. In fact, I'm currently in the process of looking to replace it rather than finish what I have... Still, if you have any referrals here in Utah they would certainly be appreciated.

Thx

Mavrik, great idea!
Please review my website:
I'm located in Portsmouth, Virginia, right next to
Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake...willing to travel up to 60 miles.

//jbkinkead.com
I can be contacted thru the contact link (email) on my website.
If you like what you see, please add me to your list.
I have visited your website several times. Nicely done, lots of info.
I will put your info in my address book and keep my eyes open for anything up your way, my daughter-in-law has relatives in Philly and Delaware, is that close to you?

I've only shot three weddings in the last two years, I am getting ready to seriously put myself out there for business.
I just got my 20d and am getting used to it after using a Sony F707 for two years.
Would you mind sharing how you market your business?
I have some business cards and am telling everyone at work, but that doesn't seem to be enough really.
You can PM me if you want to share.
sorry about the long post.
Appreciate it.
take care...
Jeff

Philly would be something we would do. Delaware is starting to get far for us. :) If you hear of anything in Philly tho, we'll talk to them. Same in NYC or Trenton NJ. Thx.

Actually I'm thinking about putting up a series about starting our own company from scratch. If I add it, I'll make sure to PM you with the link. If not, maybe I'll email you what I come up with. :)

Thanks again,
Matt

Definitely! :) You and Julia were the first two I thought of. I'll make sure if I get anything east, you know about it. Would you go as far as Maine (bar harbor, etc?) I have TONS of family in Maine, but I have to deny all their friends because I live 11 hours away. :)

How about Cleveland, Ohio? My son's getting married in September 2005.
Any recommendations? (This seemed like a good place to post this.)
