Maybe it’s the economy, maybe it’s a trend, but we are getting more and more phone calls that go something like this:
“Hello, my name is __________, I’m getting married next month. I need a photographer. I have 10 bridesmaids and about 300 guests…. I don’t really want a big album, but what packages do you have with a small album, some prints and a CD of my images for under $750?”
I’ve talked to my fair share of brides – but these kinds of calls just floor me. I’m sitting on the other end of the phone just mentally spit drooling and finally my mouth begins to work again. All that comes out is, “Excuse me?”
My kind and well meaning phone bride repeats herself, never catching on to the fact that I don’t need a repeat – it’s that I’m just stuck there in disbelief.
