I'm going to run a 3 month trial with the website that is top of the natural (ie non paid for) listings on google for wedding photographers in my area, see if I can get my enquiries up, still in my first season of wedding photography, had 7 bookings for the summer, and 3 booked for next year.
I'd like the opinion of the more experienced members of this forum as to what they think of the advert (I'm in the little ol' UK so I'm no threat to most of you lol)
Max ad size is 450px x 250px, which I know is a bit on the small side, but this as big as I was allowed to go.
Haha, thank you Sam, you're very right, I'll see to that now.
@ europedreamer - the right photo is mono because the mix of DJ lights, small amount of natural light and the flash (taken at about 1/5 using flash to freeze them at the end) is a complete mess to be totally honest.
I also have a photo I really like of the best man and his daughter looking at each other in an unguarded moment, it's very sweet, but I'm worried the initial reaction if I placed it in a wedding advert would be "she looks a bit young for him" rather than "aaaww" - do people expect to see only brides and grooms ?

I would go with all color or all b/w personally. I like the last as the best.
Thanks Saad,
Left to me I'd go all mono, If I were born 10 years earlier I'd be shooting weddings exclusively on Kodak BW400, but unfortunately I think putting all mono on an advert, especially in the area where I am, which is particularly affluent, would lead to less enquiries, maybe in a few years when I've more experience and have the confidence, and the chance, to be a bit more picky about my market.
lol)
