Want more wedding bookings? Help us to help you....
We are in the process of creating a massive directory of wedding venues. The reason being that the first thought when a bride is getting married is which venue to choose.
Using our sophisticated page generating software we can generate the 'venue directory' and thereafter lead wedding couples directly to our members pages, which will help create more bookings for your business.
We have created a form for you to give us recommendations of venues, in return we will credit you with the recommendation on the venue page. A search facility is built into the page so the prospective client can then easily navigate to your page on our site.
As you can image it is therefore essential that we have ALL of the correct information on your page so it is well worth double checking and letting us know of any amendments.
The directory can be found by: 'clicking here'
The form for submitting your recommendations can be found by: clicking here
You can submit as many recommendations as you wish and they can be from anywhere in the world, as this is a global directory. Please give us as much information as you possibly can, the more details regarding each venue will increase it's relevance on the web.
This is a massive opportunity to generate a vast amount of business for all our members so we would appreciate the support of everyone.

Over the last couple of weeks we have had one or two emails regarding images which have not been loaded onto our server. The simple answer is that just a few of our members are still attempting to upload files without THEIR name on the files. Last month four members of staff spent three days trying to cross reference erroneous file names with the server database to find out who the images belonged to.
File names such as 'mono', 'DSC1234' 'wedding' mean nothing at all to us and the additional danger is when we upload from the server then files with identical names will overwrite other submissions. So please put your name on the files that you upload.
Example Left: Shows exactly how files should be named before uploading.
Remember only a few days to go until the end of another month, so get your entries in as soon as possible.

Photo Quote: There is no art which affords less opportunity to execute expression than photography. Everything is concentrated in a few seconds, when after perhaps an hours seeking, waiting, and hesitation, the photographer sees the realization of his inward vision, and in that moment he has one advantage over most arts - his medium is swift enough to record his momentary inspiration. - Sadakichi Hartmann
