If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all! Also, I have an entire video on using the same photographer for both sessions as well as ALTERNATIVES if it's impossible to make it work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGrXgmNrq7tnos0

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.

@Kamryn Jimmy Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Kamryn Jimmy it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

@Jimmy Bryant you are welcome :)

I would suggest making required fields on your contact form! That will help lessen your work and encourage investment from potential clients. Fields like budget range dropdowns or multiple choice shoot styles come to mind!

[@cavinelizabeth]

I used to have one and experiment from time to time! Sometimes I worry it makes people who are super closeted about their budget leave and not contact. It's always a guessing game lol!

[@devynbracken2989]

@@cavinelizabeth I understand that! As a digital marketer/designer, I've seen how much time people will spend tracking down incomplete information, instead of capitalizing on promotion or better leads. If you've seen the submissions to your website are less than 2% of the traffic that comes, then perhaps there's reason to modify the field name to "Estimated or Potential Budget" to make it friendlier! If you notice a spike, then you can rest easier knowing you accommodated those people. :) Hope this is helpful!

[@cavinelizabeth]

Thanks so much! Will definitely look into that and think about adding it back :-)

So much great information and super valid points! Love your videos (and work). Gorgeous!

Thank you Michelle!! So glad you enjoyed it :-)

Good advice but won't work for me. My wedding is a destination wedding in Hawaii and I live in Oregon. We don't plan on going back to Hawaii until the wedding day.

[@cavinelizabeth]

You could do a session with them the day before the wedding pre rehearsal dinner! Or just do a Skype date to get to know them more. There are always ways to ensure you build that relationship!

My big issue with the engagement session is that I don't think my fiance and I want any. Neither of us are picture people and think it's a bit of a waste of money. Besides, is it normal to have photographers in the dressing rooms? I don't plan on having one anywhere near where I'm getting dressed.

[@cavinelizabeth]

Kit Geeky then photos probably aren’t a huge priority for you. This video is for people who think it is. And the engagement session isn’t really even about the photos but rather the experience of working with the photographer. It’s a practice for the wedding day. Also not sure why a photographer would be in the dressing room...not sure where that idea came from.

[@kitc.3104]

You had stated that they would be more comfortable while getting the dress on. My apologies if I misunderstood. Also we want the wedding photos they ranked top 3, but don't see a point of staged engagement stuff.

[@cavinelizabeth]

I'm referring to the photos of getting into the gown and being able to capture the zipping and buttoning, not anything more than that. I'm sorry you feel that engagements are staged. I think with the right photographer they are natural and beautiful. Ultimately if you don't want them that's up to you, just know that you might not be as comfortable with the photographer on the wedding day. If you don't care, then that's fine. You do you.

@@kitc.3104 I agree we don’t really care to have engagement photos since it’s not a traditional thing to do it’s more of a recent thing happening . I care about the photos of the wedding ceremony mostly
