What makes you a DIFFERENT photographer?
featuring Making The Moment Photography

Creative Cleveland Wedding Photographer Brett Yacovella in action, explaining and sharing what it's like to work with the creative staff at Making the Moment Photography. Featuring real-life clients Jeff & Rachel Rice, this video has an authentic look that suits to his style of photography and we can say that Making The Moment Photography as a brand of award winning wedding photography. They'r in their own class. Don't you agree?  :)

So what makes them different? I think one of the reason apart from making creative photos and a really good photo is that making a "behind the scene" video like this makes you "different" from other photographers. It sets you apart from the others. It is also a kind of a free advertising for your photography works. If you can make your time to do a 5 minute BTS video like this for every wedding photography job, I think that people would really love to hire you in fact that's what I'm feeling when I'm watching this video. I know that maybe you don't have a luxury of time to do a video like this but perhaps maybe you can ask help or hire your videographer friend to do it for you. :)

But again, this is just an example. It can be anything. Be creative try to be different from the others. Upload your videos of behind the sceneson YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. I'm sure that you'll stand out more than the other photographer. InsyaAllah. :)
