When I was planning our wedding with my wife, there were several times I felt overwhelmed and just wanted to toss up my hands and elope at the nearest courthouse. I am quite sure my wife felt the same way at times, but luckily for us, the urge wasn’t strong enough to follow through with it. In email exchanges with clients, I have certainly felt that same frustration coming through. I know it’s rough, and I hope what I have to say today will help some of you.
I found a site called Snapknot (www.snapknot.com) that focuses on connecting couples with photographers. In my experience with some of the sites that try to expose folks to all kinds of vendors (I am thinking of The Knot here), it just feels like there are too many options. Visiting the home page there with all the advertisements, blog options, advice links, categories of stuff I had not even considered, I mean, it made me feel more frantic than I already was!
Finding a photographer whose vision resonates with your own is so important, and Snapknot helps you find that photographer. Snapknot is focused on one thing, connecting couples with photographers. That’s it, and to me this is so refreshing. In the interest of full disclosure, I did sign up to be a member of this site to list my photography business. That’s how much I love it. The first time I visited the site last week, a chat window popped up from Mike Rheaume, one of the two founders of Snapknot, to ask me if there is anything he could do for me! Wow. I mean, WOW! This is an experience I want others to have, so I am happy to promote them any way I can.
So, if you are looking for a wedding photographer, or know someone who is, send them to Snapknot!
