I’ve been working with social media for years and years now (egads) — from my job as the “Lead Creative & Optimization Manager” at a startup to now at WeddingLovely. I believe so much in blogging and social media, and you can definitely see the results here at this blog, but it’s also extremely important that I don’t spend all day on it because I’m also building a company too.

So, with that in mind, I’m building an eCourse to teach you all I know! The blogging and social media eCourse will specifically go over how wedding vendors can promote their products (whether physical or things like a new photoshoot) through their blog and tie that into Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest (and going into depth on the whys and the hows for each service.) Specifically, this will be a 4 week course with a week dedicated to blogging, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest each — with PDF deliverables, easy homework, chat sessions with me for questions, and access to a forum dedicated to the course.

I’m building the course materials now, so if you’re interested, sign up here or below — I’ll be sending out a discount code to all early bird signups! Also, if you’re an upgraded vendor on the WeddingLovely directories, the course will be free.

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!

How nice would it be to be so rich?! When celebrities get married, they have the pick of anywhere in the world for their honeymoon, so it’s interesting to see the luxurious destinations they choose. Thanks to Simply Bridal for the infographic!

Know what you should be paying

While every wedding service will advertise as being “priceless”, don’t be a pushover and research exactly what you should be paying. Get multiple quotes and negotiate. The average hourly rate of a wedding photography is around $50 an hour (editor note: including time spent behind the scenes, not just shooting photos!) but this obviously varies depending on skillset, equipment and props provided by various wedding photographers. Go via portfolio not pizazz. There are a lot of budding photographers who will provide a great price for a chance to expand their portfolio. Research is your best budgeting tool here; find a photographer whose style you really love. If you’re really set on someone expensive then add wedding photography to your gift registry.

Happy April! I’m generally wary of the internet today (can’t trust anything on the internet) so my big launch scheduled for today (!) has been pushed to tomorrow. Exciting!
