How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic, And Emotional Wedding Day Of Your Dreams!
5 Amazing Secrets Revealed!


Dear Bride To Be,


This letter 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 letter 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 letter you have ever received! Really!


My name is Dennis Walman, and I LOVE weddings! I’ve been photographing them for over 25 years - 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 5 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? (You NEVER want a photographer who needs a checklist doing your wedding photography! He’ll spend all his time looking at the list, and miss all the wonderful, romantic and spontaneous moments of your wedding! Any photographer who is any good won’t need to follow a checklist - he or she will KNOW all the photographs that need to be captured.)


Then, decide if you REALLY LIKE THE PHOTOGRAPHER, as well as his or her work! Because this person is 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 and tie (NOT A TUX, AND NOT JUST SLACKS AND A SHIRT! 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 do not use a checklist but do have a list of poses that I often use and may refer to this list to make sure I got everything.




SECRET #2: 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 taken time to write and tell the photographer 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.






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!


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. That’s why I became a photographer - to tell the wonderful true stories of romantic couples in love.


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 letter, 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, and also between you and your family and friends. That photographer 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.”




Here’s What To Do Right Now!


Here’s what I strongly recommend you do IMMEDIATELY! Pick up the phone and call me at 661-285-4242 right now. Ask us if we still have your wedding date available. Here’s the problem - because we are so well known and respected in the community, and because we ONLY photograph one wedding a day.


So DO NOT WAIT EVEN ONE DAY ON THIS! If you agreed with and liked anything in this letter, call us NOW. There is NO CHARGE AND NO OBLIGATION for this call! Let’s just chat a bit, see if your date is still available, and then, if and only if you would like to, we can set up a time to get together in person and talk about your wedding. There is no charge or obligation for this, either.


Sincerely,
