p.1 #1 · Proofs: how do you show potential clients?


So I have a couple interested in my skills. They're asking to see a full wedding I've shot. Do I send them the password to the client log in? Do i meet w/ them and show them proofs? If I do show them proofs, can you guys recommend somewhere that makes pretty nifty proof books?

Cheers!

I give them a password for the online proof gallery of the best wedding I've shot to date. That way they can click on whatever pictures they want, and you have no printing/presentation costs. They see what other clients saw.

+1.

Assuming the couple signed a model release, no worries.

I say meet with them if you can. If you can't get a proof book, just bring a laptop and show them.

I like the idea of meeting them, that way my personality can shine. I think it leaks out online too, but I'm from the old school sales training where nothing beats person to person interaction. And to be honest since most of my weddings (the better ones I've shot anyways) have been 2nd shooting, I don't have them posted in my client gallery.

I've sent her an email so we'll see what she wants to do.

I agree with the person-to-person exchange. It always seems to work better for us.

assuming they have already looked at your site for a teaser, i would grab your laptop, have your last wedding you did, have a folder or some prints of recent highlight moments and allow them to skim through them at their leisure.

i have the prints there for them to see the quality on paper (and because i offer in-house printing) and albums to see how things come together for their own keepsake presentation.

to me, nothing beats meeting one-on-one. making sure your personalities work is a must.
good luck!
