This was the first time I was called to meet up with the clients to review my work and portfolio in person. Past deals, it has been just phone calls, emails or just a causal meet up and usually the clients will sign up for my package. But this one is a little special. Not only they requested to meet me in person, but also my partner, Videographer. They wanted to see our past work and also got to know us better in person.
So, during the meet up, they browsed through my work and then they asked me some questions which I think its really good as they know exactally what they want for their AD photographers. I reckon those are good questions and thus I put them here as FAQ in case if I got asked again, I can simply point them to this link here. ;-)
The couple: what make you different from the rest of the AD photographer.
Me: Photography is an Art and its rather subjective. Its also what you are paying me for.
The couple: do I get thousands of pictures by the end of the day?
Me: my series do tell a story but I do not promise I will be able to deliver thousands of pictures by the end of the event. Quality pictures yes, but not quantity.
The couple: dont you give further discount?
Me: My rates might not be the best out in the market but my rates are certainly prices within market rates. I am confidenced to price my package for quality & trust.
The couple: do you speak Hokkien? My old folks at home only speak Hokkien and some Teochew.
Me: I am a Hokkien and I work as a volunteer in Silra Home. To handle old folks during my work is just a part of the parcel of my service. To be comfortable with me with you (the clients) and the rest of your guests are my priority.
The couple: do you advice the procedures on the tea ceremony?
Me: I will always advice the procedures specially on the tea ceremonies to the newly wedded couples but if the elderly have their own preference, we will leave it to them to take charge.
The couple: why do you think your 2 photographer backup system is better than 1?
Me: With Karsoon Photography, you only pay 1 photographer for the price of 2 photographers. By saying that, me and my partner work hand in hand to cover THE moment as much as we can so to complete the day of your dream. With 2 photographers, we also ensure we can assign ourselves in 2 different locations such as bride and groom's house, hotel room and receipt/front desk area, etc. With just only 1 photographer, you can only pray he doesnt get sick or nothing happens to him. 2 is always better than 1.
Email me if you have any queries and I will be most happy to answer them.
