If you're a new wedding photographer, you have several channels of advertising to setup as part of marketing yourself, if word-of-mouth isn't enough: a website, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and any number of business/photographer/wedding vendor directories to subscribe to. Some of these channels are free and are more or less intended for this, while some vendor directories can be very expensive, and the worse--potentially scammy business practices.

And for those looking for a photographer, these scattered photographer profiles don't make it easy to find the photographer best suited for the job--one with the desired style, skill, affordability, and availability. For people with a specific style preference, they have to search across these multiple channels, sifting through photographers websites while hoping the photog is available and fits their budget.

In this environment, there are opportunities for platforms that make finding a photographer simpler, help market photographers directly to potential clients, and especially helping establish new photographers.

And that's how MyWeddingPhotog wants to help. We can make this process much easier for anyone looking for a photog, and a at least a little easier for the photographers. Most people will have a certain style of photography and types of photos they'll want for their wedding, so our goal is to make a search based on style, in addition to the usual filters like price, location.

We also want to to make the business of being a photographer easier, so every decision we make is to further that goal. Because this is from a photographer, for photographers.

I hope you'll join us.
