As I do weddings, engagements, senior sessions, and other sessions, I always like to round up my reviews from past clients. Client reviews are highly essential to me attracting future brides, future grooms, future seniors, and future engaged couples. More importantly, feedback tells me that what I’m doing is meaningful and high quality. Reviews help prove I am a great Dayton photographer.
I received five five-star reviews in the past few weeks all for my various photography types, including. weddings, engagements and seniors. Every one of them is meaningful to me in some way. I’m honored each time somebody takes five minutes to review me because I don’t always take time to review other business. As I get older, I realize reviewing McDonald’s is not important but reviewing a florist I use, is. That can be very helpful to a to the vendor. Even it’s just to say, thanks for putting my wife’s birthday bouquet together.
A five-star review helps everyone in the process and helps me because they are seen more on Google. It helps the client because they can look at real reviews from real people and see, okay, this person loved their senior photography. They loved how the experience felt. They loved the images afterward. So that kind of thing really inspires me to to work hard.
Obviously, I want to provide a good product for the client. My goal is one hundred percent client satisfaction. From a selfish standpoint, after a wedding or other session, I’d like to hear back from the client in a public manner so that other people can see it. Occasionally, I do get texts or emails from clients saying that they love my work. I try to publish those on the website, but those don’t count or Google or TheKnot. When somebody takes the time to publish a review on Google or TheKnot it means the world to me. I just can’t be more thankful for those reviews as a small business.
With just me doing the photography, every little bit helps. I have my website optimized for search engine optimization. This, along with Google reviews really helps boost my presence online. The social proof of these wedding photography reviews also helps. It’s also good for people to go to the various sites, Google WeddingWire, TheKnot, and Facebook. Some people go on Reddit, Yelp, and Instagram to seek photography testimonials and recommendations. They can see what other people are saying about me, and I love it. I just could not be any happier. I want to reach out to all my brides and say, thank you for for taking the time to review me! It’s really helpful and I appreciate it.
