Photo Marketing Tips

“Wowzers!” you say. “I am getting clients from all over the place!” Sure I get some local bookings from recommendations on Facebook, or from word of mouth, but most people find me on Google. Hello!?! How many of you are surprised at a good ol’ Googling? I get contacted from people living in California, Minnesota, NYC & even Europe who need a photographer in the Pittsburgh area. I ask them, “How did you hear about me?” – Are you sitting? Their response, “I searched Google!” At this I click my ruby slippers and say, “There’s no place like homepage!” I applaud Search Engine Optimizations on my webhost, PhotoShelter. I do not advertise on the web nor feel the need to do so. I enjoy the benefits of pleasing clients and having them recommend me to their friends & family. By adhering to this marketing plan, I can keep prices within your budget! Best wishes and congratulations to Caitlin & Matt on their wedding in Pittsburgh, PA. Did I mention that having a blog on WordPress has it’s benefits too! I hope you enjoy these images of this gorgeous couple. amcgregorphotography.com

Epitome of Rustic Weddings

Many of us joyfully celebrate Christmas in July! So it only seems fitting to celebrate Independence Day in December! Rustic Weddings have been trending for several years and the West Overton Museum epitomizes this movement. The birthplace of coal baron, Henry Clay Frick, it is located in Scottdale, PA. Amanda & Mike were married in the flower garden and celebrated their reception inside the Big Barn. Several outbuilding dot the property and elegance abounds at every corner. Cheers!

Golden Skyline Embraces Wedding

Imagine a beautiful ceremony aboard the Gateway Clipper Fleet augmented by a string quartet playing heavenly Mozart compositions. Amy and Justin were united in front of the sparking Pittsburgh skyline. As we started capturing the formal portraits, the sky opened up in a torrential downpour. We were forced to take the remainder of the bridal party photos inside the boat. To our delight, the clouds parted right before sunset as the Clipper floated past the city as we were ecstatic to capture these images. Congratulations to Amy & Justin!  Please check out a few more happy couples on my website at Aaron McGregor Photography.

Referrals are the Best

I love hearing that someone knows about my photo business because they were referred by a formal client or they hired me because they were in a bridal party. This was the case with Amanda and Matt who planned their wedding from Virginia and were big time Steelers fans to boot! Amanda was a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding I captured eight years ago in Harrison City. I dropped off my talented partner, Chris Lane at the Marriott in Greensburg so he could capture the guys as I continued onto Export to get photos of the girls. The wedding took place in Murrysville and we got in a few formals at the Greensburg Country Club before a storm hit. It was great seeing the family again and catching up with Amanda’s cousin, Samantha. In closing, I just want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU for your referrals! You are the best! Go Stillers! Aaron McGregor Photography
