Attention Bride To Be:
7 Amazing Secrets Revealed Below!
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!)
This webpage is not for every Bride To
Be...is it for you?
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 webpage is not for
you. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Please read no further.
But...
...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...
Then this is going to be the most exciting website you have
ever gone to - Really!
My name is Craig Furze, and
I LOVE weddings! I've been photographing them since 1982 - not because I
have to for the money, (I have a very successful portrait photography business
that makes me a very comfortable living) but rather because I WANT to, because
I love the emotion and romance of your wedding.
Here's How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic, And
Emotional Wedding Day Of Your Dreams!
If you're still reading, let
me congratulate you. This means you want to be the most beautiful bride
anywhere. You want your wedding to be a wonderfully emotional and
romantic day. You want to have everything go smoothly and perfectly,
You want to have a great time. You want to
see all your guests, and have them also have a fun time. Well, here's how
to do it:
Here's 7 Secrets To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams!
SECRET #1: How To
Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your Dreams.
Believe it or not, the
photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make or break your
wedding day. Yes, I kid you not, your wedding day - not just your
photographs! Why? Because he's THERE - with you
and your family, in person - interacting with all your family and guests - and
representing you every minute.
Now, HONESTLY, we're not
just talking about photography here - we're talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU
FEEL on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything
goes. You see, your photographer determines this, by the way he helps you
plan your wedding, the way he treats you and your loved ones, and the way he
conducts himself throughout the day.
Amazing Secret Revealed - What Other Wedding
Photographers Don't Want You To Know!
So here's the secret:
Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire anyone to photograph your
wedding! Most brides don't realize that many studios hire part time
photographers to photograph their weddings for them - high school and college
kids, friends, relatives, etc. This means that you go to a studio, talk
with a salesperson, look at their samples, and make a decision - without really
knowing who will be photographing your wedding!
And if it's not just the
right person doing the photography, and interacting with all your family and
guests, everything can be ruined!
So, when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the
following questions:
1. Who did these
photographs you are showing me?
2. Who, by name, will be
photographing our wedding if we hire your studio?
3. We want to
MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio.
Then, when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:
1. How will you dress
at my wedding?
2. Did you do ALL the
samples of wedding photography we saw in the sample books? If not, show us
YOUR work, please.
3. How long have you been
photographing weddings?
4. How long will you be at
my wedding?
5. Before you leave our
wedding, who do you check with first to see if there's anything else we would
like you to do?
6. Do you work from a
checklist of photos?
Then, decide if you REALLY
LIKE HIM, as well as his work! Because he's going to be
spending a lot of time with you and your family and friends, on your important
day.
By the way, just so you know, here's my
answers to those questions:
I'm the ONLY photographer at
my studio. I will be photographing your wedding personally. I will
dress in a nice suit (NOT A TUX, I don't want to take anything away from
your groom and groomsmen and the fathers, and I also don't want to dress
casually, and not represent you professionally.)
I have been photographing
weddings, as I mentioned earlier, since _____ .
Can you fill in the blank? Just checking to see if you're paying
attention! It's 1982!
I'll be at your wedding
until you, your husband (how exciting - your "husband!"), your
parents, and your husband's parents all say they have nothing else for me to
do. I NEVER will leave your wedding without checking with all of the
above people!
I use no checklist.
Instead, I learn the names and relationships of all the members of your wedding
party, and both families! I refer to them by name, and I know their
relationship to you, so I can be constantly watching for those special, magical
and spontaneous moments that will be so meaningful to you to have photographs
of!
SECRET #2: Announcing The Single Most Important
'Secret' You MUST Know About Weddings!
Here's a really big
"secret" that almost no brides think about when interviewing a
potential photographer: What's their guarantee? What happens if you
aren't happy with the photography, or the way you and your friends were
treated, or if the photographer left your wedding before he was supposed to, etc.
This is of the utmost
importance! The guarantee (make sure it's in writing!) tells you just how
committed they are going to be in taking good care of you, and doing a great
job.
And, just so you know, here's our IRON CLAD, 100% MONEY
BACK GUARANTEE:
You will be THRILLED
(not just 'satisfied') with how we represented you and your family at your wedding,
and also THRILLED with your photographs, or we will do whatever necessary to
have you be THRILLED with them, or we will return ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. No hard feelings either. We want you to
LOVE everything we do for you!
You see, we understand that
you can't do this over again. This is a "one-time-thing" and
everything MUST be perfect! You have our written guarantee that we'll
take really good care of you!
SECRET #3: An Important Warning: Miss This
Secret, And A Disaster Could Happen At Your Wedding!
This seems so obvious, and
yet brides miss this one all the time, and pay a BIG PRICE for it after their
wedding! Be sure the photographer has lots of happy brides and grooms,
who have written him and told him how happy there were with both him, and his
work! We're talking TESTIMONIALS here! From real people, with their
full names, and their city and state, so you can call them if you want to, just
to "check them out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer
says they said. (That's a hard sentence to read, but you get the
point! Sorry!)
I'm sorry to be so
skeptical, but we live in a time in history when you have to be really careful
to be certain that people are telling you the truth.
You will notice that
throughout this webpage are photographs and testimonials from some of the
brides and grooms whom we have been honored to work with on their wedding
day. Also notice that their FULL names, city and state are listed, so, if
you really wanted to, you could look them up in the phone book, and call
them.
SECRET #4: A Magic Way To
Have A Great Wedding.
One of the things that you
really want to look for in your photographer, is
someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER! An artistic
photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of your family,
your friends, and your wedding day. This is really important, if
you are looking for photographs which will be PRICELESS to you for years and
years to come!
And here's why this is so
important! If an artist is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, there's a really
good chance that he will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty
and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic can truly
understand how important this day is to you, and how perfectly you want it to
go.
And a true romantic will be
sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH THE EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY!
I could tell you so many horror stories here. But let
me just mention one so you understand how important this is.
Back when I was just
starting out in photography, I heard about a photographer who was hiding behind
some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NEVER do!) and he dropped a
lens on the marble floor with a huge crash, and then swore out loud so loud
that everyone heard it! (He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY
TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of the
ceremony by hiding behind flowers where everyone could see him come and go - and, of course, there is NO excuse for profanity!)
So, looking for a romantic,
EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who will beautifully tell the story of your love for
each other, and for your family and friends, will also result in someone who
will respect you and your wishes, and conduct himself in only the most
professional and friendly way, because he understands in the most intimate way,
the importance of the "Story of Your Wedding Day."
And, by the way, my brides
tell me that they really love the way I emotionally tell the story of their
wedding day.
SECRET #5: The Truth About Wedding
Photographers Revealed. What They Don't Want Me To Tell You!
It is not my intention to
say anything bad about any other photographers in the area. I know most
of them personally, and count many of them as my friends. However, it is
really important that I alert you, in this website to some of the problems that
you otherwise would never know about.
Well, here's a "biggie."
Most photographers will cram as many weddings into a day as
they humanly can. Many times, this means they must rush from your
wedding, to get to another, and then rush from that one, to get to another.
This type of photographer just
isn't going to be able to capture the EMOTIONS, ROMANCE, LOVE, AND RELATIONSHIPS between you and your husband (doesn't that
sound exciting?! Your "husband!") and also between you and your family and friends. He's
just won't have the sensitivity and enthusiasm and love for what he does to be
able to capture those feelings. And he won't have the time or energy.
You Won't Believe This, But I Assure You, It's True!
For example, I won't
mention any names here, but I once knew a photographer who photographed so many
weddings in a single day, that the only way he could remember the names of the
bride and groom at each wedding was to write their first names on masking tape,
and stick it to the back of his camera! Not only that, but if he had, say
five weddings, he would simply stack layers of masking tape on the back of the
camera, and as he left one wedding for the next, he would just rip off that
layer, and the next couples names were now showing! I swear to you this
is true!
By the way, I ONLY photograph ONE wedding per
day.
You get me for
the ENTIRE DAY. I understand how important this day is to you, and I am
there for you!
This also means that I'm
rested and energetic. It also means I'm enthusiastic about what I will be doing
for you. As I mentioned earlier, I photograph weddings because I LOVE
them, not because I have to do them. And since I only photograph one
wedding a day, I'm not tired or "burned out on your important day."
SECRET #6: A Remarkable Secret To
Truly Enjoying Your Wedding Day, And Having It Filled With Wonderful, Emotional
Moments!
This is so important!
Be sure the photographer you hire has a "team" approach to taking
good care of you on your day. This means that he isn't going to be trying
to work alone to photograph your important day.
You see, doing a really
super, romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY of your day requires a huge amount of
planning, care, and effort. More effort than just one person can do.
Let me
explain.
I will arrive at your
wedding with my Creative Director and Wedding Consultant, Cheryl, who also is
my girlfriend and partner. She has a HUGE responsibility during the day,
and is the true secret to our success in wedding photography.
She makes certain that you
look fantastic, every minute of the day! She's not going to be taking
photographs! She's just going to be helping you with your dress and
flowers, fixing your veil before a photograph so it looks PERFECT, fixing your
train so it is perfect for the photographs, etc.
Plus, she brings you a drink
if you're thirsty in the receiving line. She finds your best friend from
college if you ask for her. She helps you in any way she can to assure
that you have a wonderful day, as well as wonderful photographs. And on and on and on.
We are a TEAM. A team
that together, guarantees that you not only have a great time on your wedding
day, but also assures you of having PERFECTLY EMOTIONAL photographs!
A HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE:
The Magic Of "E.F.P" On
Your Wedding Day!
You see, I don't really look
at it as "wedding photography," but rather as "Emotional Family
Photography created on your wedding day!" It's all the emotions,
relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in
beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your
lives. After all, isn't that what you really want?
Aren't The People and The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter
The Most To You?
Because
it's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life that are so valuable to you.
Yes, you'll also see the beautiful dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see
the lovely ceremony, etc. But more, much more than
that. You'll feel the emotions that you and your fiance feel
toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this
magical day. Yes, FEEL them each time you view your photographs.
That's what I am driven to do for you!
You see, you want
photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect, and the
glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day.
You want your photography to
"tell the story" of your wedding day, AND your families and friends.
Most photographers, bless their
hearts, just want to "record the event, and go home."
I want you to cry when you
see the photographs! Cry tears of happiness, because in those photographs
are all the people you and your husband love and care about - showing their real
personalities and emotions like you never dreamed they would!
Most photographers just want
to get home before midnight, or hurry to the next wedding they are
photographing.
Don't Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of Your
Day Because Your Photographer Didn't Have The Vision To See And Capture Them In
A Sensitive, Romantic Way!
Your day will be filled with
beautiful "Emotional Moments" that you will never experience again in
your life. Those "Moments" are what I am driven to capture for
you.
Here's
just three examples:
NEW!
An Amazing And Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express
Your Love For Your Dad On Your Wedding Day!
As a father myself, I can
assure you that one of the most emotional moments in a dad's life is when he
"gives his little girl away" at the beginning of your ceremony.
Your dad will never forget it.
But now, there's something
full of emotional magic that you can give your dad when he gives you away!
At that very powerful moment in his and your life, you hand him a
surprise "Father's Pride" that he carries with him back to the pew,
and as he reads your personal message to him, and looks at the emotional
photograph of you in your wedding gown, he begins to cry with tears of joy and
love!
He will be so moved and
touched! You and he will never forget it!
Don't miss that moment!
The Magic Moment When The Love Of
Your Life First Sees You!
Or the incredible moment
when your fianc first sees you in your wedding gown - perfect in every way -
with your lovely flowers, the beautiful veil and headpiece - everything which
you selected specifically for him - as the tears swell up in his eyes, and he
tells you how very much he loves and adores you.
Don't miss that moment!
A Magic Moment With Grandma
Or, if you are lucky enough
to still have a living grandmother, the lovely moment when she reaches up and
puts her arms around you, and with tears in her eyes, tells you how beautiful
you look and how much she loves you, and how proud she is of you.
Don't miss that moment!
I could go on and on.
Your entire day will be made up of brief, priceless moments like these.
Let's make sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and planned
that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help you to be so stress
free, but excited, that you can enjoy and remember these wonderful, magical
moments for the rest of your life.
How do we do that?
I'll bet you think I'm going
to say that you do this through the photography. Right? Wrong!
The way we help these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help
you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional day! A day
where everything goes perfectly. As long as we do that, the rest
will take care of itself!
That's what Cheryl and I
will do for you.
Oh, if you ever talk with a photographer who
says this to you, run away as fast as you can!
If he says, "Your
photographs are all you will have after the wedding is over. Your flowers
will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - but you'll have your
photographs! They are the most important thing about your wedding!" -
then he's NOT the photographer for you!
Why not? Because if he
says that, he has a completely false impression of his importance, and will try
to run your day and take charge! Don't let that happen! Because the
photographs ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - the romance, emotions and
relationships are the most important thing!
SECRET #7: How To Be Assured That You Will
Be The Most Beautiful Bride Your Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen!
You deserve to have a
wedding day where you are the most beautiful bride any of your friends or
relatives have ever seen. That's the dream of every girl when she begins
visualizing her wedding day. And you deserve to have that!
Let's see to it that is
exactly what happens! How? Simple. Yes,
you will select the perfect dress, headpiece, veil, flowers, shoes, etc.
Yes, you will have your hair
and make up done. But it goes much deeper than that.
You see, beauty is also in
the way you FEEL on your wedding day. The way your emotions show on your face, and the way you glow when you walk down the aisle and
look in the eyes of the love of your life.
Many of my brides will
understand this when I say it: When you hire us to photograph your
wedding, you're really paying for Cheryl and I to be
there. To take all the pressures and tensions out of
the day for you. You know that we are there, and that we truly
care about you, and will help you with EVERYTHING so the day goes
perfectly. That's really what our brides are paying us for. The
photographs are free. They're just an added "bonus!"
You see, if you, your
husband (there's that great word again!), and your family and guests are all
having a wonderful time, you will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would be. Because there will be no tension
there. And, by the way, your photographs will be WONDERFUL, too, because
you looked so wonderful and were having such a great time.
See how it all "fits"
together to result in a wonderful day, and wonderful photographs? You
really can't separate them!
You see how "Emotional Family Photography" can
make your wedding volumes absolutely PRICELESS?
In my humble opinion, the
tender fabric of your life is sewn together with beautiful, emotional moments
between you and your loved ones, and I want to capture and express all those
wonderful moments for you in your wedding volumes - and accomplish this without
interfering with the emotions and romance of your wedding day.
