Septemeber 2010 has seen a good improvement in the number of visitors and enquiries for wedding photography services to Our Wedding Memories. With the recession biting hard on the wedding industry, many wedding photographers have reported big drops in traffic numbers and enquiries over the past few months.

Lower traffic levels to supplier’s websites and enquiries are inherent for many in the wedding industry as the recession takes a hold. This is due to the fact that many people experiencing financial difficulties or worries about jobs will either cancel any plans for a wedding or severely reduce their budget particularly for certain items.

One of the first things to go is generally wedding photography. Many will look for a more economical way of producing their wedding photographs, whether it be a cheaper option or amateur photographer or indeed doing away with the need for a photographer completely and asking family and friends to take photographs to share at a later date.

In our experience and looking at much feedback this is very often a step that is regretted by many couples. A professional photographer is an integral part of the wedding day and the only way to capture the atmosphere on the day is by using the services of both professional photographers and videographers. It is very much worth researching a number of providers to see what style of photography you require and then deciding to spend that little extra to get a professional service. Speak to people who have been in a similar situation and check online forums for photographer recommendations.

Our Wedding Memories has seen a large increase in traffic over the early part of September 2010 and also an increase in the number of enquiries registered via the system. This points possibly to an improvement in the sector and confidence in couples own personal situation. It may also, hopefully, point to an improvement in the general economy as this will improve as people begin to spend more.
