Dear Bride To Be,
Thank you
for checking out this website. And congratulations on your
engagement! How exciting and romantic! Now, let's guarantee
you have a fantastic and romantic wedding day - full of love,
emotion and beauty! (Believe it or not, that does take some
planning!)
This
web page is not for every Bride To Be...is it for you?
If you
are looking to have an "average" wedding - one that is stressful
and not very organized, one where the guests hardly get to see you, one
where you are so exhausted that you can hardly smile. One where it
seems like you're constantly putting out "fires" and solving
emergencies. One where "so many things just went wrong"...
Then this
web page is not for you. We’re sorry for wasting your time.
Please read no further.
But...
...if
you're a bride who wants her wedding to be PERFECT, and the most romantic,
beautiful and emotional day of your life; if you want to enjoy every minute
of your day; if you want to be the most ravishingly beautiful bride
your friends and relatives have ever seen; if you want to spend
wonderful, quality time with your guests; if you want to remember
with happy tears in your eyes all the love, emotion and joys of the day...
Then
this is going to be the most exciting website you have ever gone to –
Really
”We will always treasure the memories you have
captured for us and would gladly recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much for your time and
talent as our wedding photographer.
Wonderful work!”

Here's
How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic, And Emotional Wedding Day Of Your
Dreams!
If you're
still reading, let us congratulate you. This means you want to be the
most beautiful bride anywhere. You want your wedding to be a
wonderfully emotional and romantic day. You want to have everything
go smoothly and perfectly, You want to have a great
time. You want to see all your guests, and have them also have a fun
time. Well, here's how to do it:
Here's
7 Secrets To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams!
SECRET
#1: How To Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your
Dreams.
Believe
it or not, the photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make
or break your wedding day. Yes, your wedding day - not
just your photographs! Why? Because they are THERE
- with you and your family, in person - interacting with family and guests
- and representing you every minute.
Now,
HONESTLY, we are not just talking about photography here – we
are talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL on your wedding day,
and how smoothly and romantically everything goes. You see, your
photographer determines this, by the way they help you plan your wedding,
the way they treat you and your loved ones, and the way they conduct
themselves throughout the day.
Amazing
Secret Revealed - What Other Wedding Photographers Don't Want You To Know!
So here's
the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire
anyone to photograph your wedding! Most brides don't realize that
many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their weddings for
them - high school and college kids, friends, relatives, etc. This
means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson, look at their samples,
and make a decision - without really knowing who will be
photographing your wedding!
And if
it's not just the right person doing the photography, and interacting with
all your family and guests, everything can be ruined!
So,
when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the following
questions:
1.
Who did these photographs you are showing me?
2. Who,
by name, will be photographing our wedding if we hire your studio?
3. We
want to MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio.
Then,
when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:
1.
How will you dress at my wedding?
2. Did
you do ALL the samples of wedding photography we saw in the sample
books? If not, show us YOUR work, please.
3. How long
have you been photographing weddings?
4. How
long will you be at my wedding?
5. Before
you leave our wedding, whom do you check with first to see if there's
anything else we would like you to do?
6. Do you
work from a checklist of photos? (You NEVER want a photographer who
needs a checklist doing your wedding photography! They will spend all
their time looking at the list, and miss all the wonderful, romantic and
spontaneous moments of your wedding!)
Then,
decide if you REALLY LIKE THEM, as well as their work! Because they
are going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family and
friends, on your important day.
By
the way, just so you know, here are our answers to those questions:
Anne is
the only wedding photographer at the Laramie studio. Bill is the only wedding photographer at
the Cheyenne studio. Bill will dress in a nice suit (NOT A TUX, AND
NOT JUST SLACKS AND A SHIRT! Anne
will dress in a nice suit or professional looking dress. We don't
want to take anything away the bride and groom, the family, or the bridal
party, and we also don't want to dress casually, and not represent you
professionally.)
We have
been photographing weddings here at the studio, as I mentioned earlier, for
_____ years. Can you fill in the blank? Just checking to see if
you're paying attention! It's 90 years!
We will
be at your wedding until you, your husband (how exciting - your
"husband!"), your parents, and your husband's parents all say
they have nothing else for us to do. We NEVER will leave your wedding
without checking with all of the above people!
We use no
checklist. Instead, we learn the names and relationships of all the
members of your wedding party, and both families! We refer to them by
name, and I know their relationship to you, so we can be constantly
watching for those special, magical and spontaneous moments that will be so
meaningful to you to have photographs of
“My family means the
world to me. I never thought
someone would be able to capture the love and closeness we all share on
film. You really related to all of
us on my wedding day. Nothing
worried me. The wedding photographs
you created are a cherished possession.
When I look at them, they always make me smile. Thank you for creating such a lasting
and special memory.”

SECRET
#2: Announcing The Single Most Important 'Secret' You MUST Know About
Weddings!
Here's a
really big "secret" that almost no brides think about when
interviewing a potential photographer: What's their guarantee?
What happens if you aren't happy with the photography, or the way you and
your friends were treated, or if the photographer left your wedding before
they were supposed to, etc.
This is
of the utmost importance! The guarantee (make sure it's in writing!)
tells you just how committed they are going to be in taking good care of
you, and doing a great job.
And,
just so you know, here's our IRON CLAD, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:
You will be THRILLED (not
just 'satisfied') with how we represented you and your family at your
wedding, and also THRILLED with your photographs, or we will
do whatever necessary to have you be THRILLED with them, or we will return
ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. No hard feelings either. We want
you to LOVE everything we do for you!
You see,
we understand that you can't do this over again. This is a
"one-time-thing" and everything MUST be perfect! You have
our written guarantee that we'll take really good care of you!
SECRET
#3: An Important Warning: Miss This Secret, And A Disaster
Could Happen At Your Wedding!
This
seems so obvious, and yet brides miss this one all the time, and pay a BIG
PRICE for it after their wedding! Be sure the photographer has lots
of happy brides and grooms, who have written to him and told him how happy
there were with both him, and his work! We're talking TESTIMONIALS
here! From real people, with their full names, and their city
and state, so you can call them if you want to, just to "check them
out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer says
they said. (That's a hard sentence to read, but you get the
point! Sorry!)
We are
sorry to be so skeptical, but we live in a time in history when you have to
be careful that people are telling you the truth.
You will notice that throughout this web page are photographs and
testimonials from some of the brides and grooms whom we have been honored
to work with on their wedding day. Also notice that their FULL names,
city and state are listed, so, if you really wanted to, you could look them
up in the phone book, and call them.
“Thank
you, thank you, thank you!!! You
really captured our day. All your
suggestions helped things run so smoothly and the pictures turned out
great!”

SECRET
#4: A Magic Way To Have A Great Wedding.
One of
the things that you really want to look for in your photographer, is
someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER! An artistic
photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of
your family, your friends, and your wedding day. This is really
important, if you are looking for photographs that will be PRICELESS to you
for years to come!
And
here's why this is so important! If an artist is an EMOTIONAL
STORY TELLER, there's a really good chance that they will be compassionate
about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day.
You see, only a true romantic can understand how important this day is to
you, and how perfectly you want it to go.
And a
true romantic will be sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH THE EMOTIONAL,
ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY!
We
could tell you so many horror stories here. But let us just mention
one so you understand how important this is.
Back when
I was just starting out in photography, I heard about a photographer who
was hiding behind some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NEVER
do!) and he dropped a lens on the marble floor with a huge crash, and then
swore out loud so loud that everyone heard it! (He obviously wasn't a
romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and
religious significance of the ceremony by hiding behind flowers where
everyone could see him come and go - and, of course, there is NO excuse for
profanity!)
So,
looking for a romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who will beautifully
tell the story of your love for each other, and for your family and
friends, will also result in someone who will respect you and your wishes,
and conduct themselves in only the most professional and friendly way,
because they understand in the most intimate way, the importance of the
"Story of Your Wedding Day."
And, by
the way, our brides tell us that they really love the way we emotionally
tell the story of their wedding day.
SECRET
#5: The Truth About Wedding Photographers Revealed. What They
Don't Want Us To Tell You!
It is not
our intention to say anything bad about any other photographers in the
area. We know most of them personally, and count many of them as
friends. However, it is really important that we alert you, in this
website, to some of the problems that otherwise you would never know.
Well,
here's a "biggie."
Most photographers will cram as many
weddings into a day as they humanly can. Many times, this means they
must rush from your wedding, to get to another, and then rush from that one,
to get to another.
This type
of photographer just isn't going to be able to capture the EMOTIONS,
ROMANCE, LOVE, AND RELATIONSHIPS between you and your husband
(doesn't that sound exciting? Your "husband!"), and
also between you and your family and friends. This photographer just
won't have the sensitivity and enthusiasm and love for what they do to be
able to capture those feelings. And they won't have the time or
energy.
You
Won't Believe This, But we Assure You, It's True!
For example,
we won't mention any names here, but we once knew a photographer who
photographed so many weddings in a single day, that the only way he could
remember the names of the bride and groom at each wedding was to write
their first names on masking tape, and stick it to the back of his
camera! Not only that, but if he had, say five weddings, he would
simply stack layers of masking tape on the back of the camera, and as he
left one wedding for the next, he would just rip off that layer, and the
next couples names were now showing! We swear to you this is true!
By
the way, We ONLY photograph ONE wedding per day.
You get either Anne
or Bill for the ENTIRE DAY. We understand how important this
day is to you, and we are there for you!
This
means we are rested and energetic. It also means we are enthusiastic about
what we will be doing for you. We photograph weddings because we LOVE
them, not because we have to do them. And since we only photograph
one wedding a day, we are not tired or "burned out” on your important
day.
SECRET
#6: A Remarkable Secret To Truly Enjoying Your Wedding
Day; And Having It Filled With Wonderful, Emotional Moments!
This is
so important! Be sure the photographer you hire has a
"team" approach to taking good care of you on your
day. Make sure that they have
a wonderful network of trained professionals involved in creating your
wedding memories.
You see,
doing a really super, romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY of your day requires
a huge amount of planning, care, and effort. More effort than just
one person can do.
Let us explain.
Either
Bill or Anne will arrive at your wedding after extensive planning with our
Creative Director and Wedding Consultant.
She has a HUGE responsibility during the day, and is the true
secret to our success in wedding photography.
She makes
certain that you look fantastic, every minute of the day! She's going
to be helping you with your dress and flowers, fixing your veil before a
photograph so it looks PERFECT, fixing your train so it is perfect for the
photographs, etc.
Plus, she
brings you a drink if you're thirsty in the receiving line. She finds
your best friend from college if you ask for her. She helps you in
any way she can to assure that you have a wonderful day, as well as
wonderful photographs. And on and on and on.
We are a TEAM.
A team that together, guarantees that you not only have a great time on
your wedding day, but also assures you of having PERFECT photographs!
A
HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE::
The
Magic Of "E.F.P" On Your Wedding Day!
You see,
we don't really look at it as "wedding photography," but rather
as "Emotional Family Photography created on your wedding day!"
It's all the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends
and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to
cherish for the rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you
really want?
"E.F.P." is one of the major things that separate us from all the
other wedding photographers in the area. We want to capture the love,
relationships, personalities, and emotions of all your family and
friends for you to enjoy and view with happy tears in your eyes for years
and years to come!
Aren't
The People and The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter The Most To You?
Because
it's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life
that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see the beautiful
dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see the lovely ceremony, etc.
But more, much more than that. You'll feel the emotions that
you and your fiancée feel toward each other and toward your best friends
and family members on this magical day. Yes, FEEL them each
time you view your photographs. That's what we are driven to do for
you!
Most
photographers just want to "record the event and go home."
We want
you to cry when you see the photographs! Cry tears of
happiness, because in those photographs are all the people you and your
husband love and care about - showing their real personalities and emotions
like you never dreamed they would!
Most
photographers just want to get home before midnight, or hurry to the next
wedding they are photographing.
Don't Miss The "Emotional
Moments" Of Your Day Because Your Photographer Didn't Have The Vision
To See And Capture Them In A Sensitive, Romantic Way!
Your day
will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments"
that you will never experience again in your life. Those
"Moments" are what we are driven to capture for you.
Here are
just three examples:
NEW!
An Amazing And Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express Your Love For Your Dad
On Your Wedding Day!
One of the most emotional moments in a
dad's life is when he "gives his little girl away" at the
beginning of your ceremony. Your dad will never forget it.
But now,
there's something full of emotional magic that you can give your dad when
he gives you away! At that very powerful moment in his and your life,
you hand him a surprise "Father's Pride" that he
carries with him back to the pew, and as he reads your personal message to
him, and looks at the emotional photograph of you in your wedding gown, he
begins to cry with tears of joy and love!
He will
be so moved and touched! You and he will never forget
it!
Don't
miss that moment!
The
Magic Moment When The Love Of Your Life First Sees You!
Or the
incredible moment when your fiancé first sees you in your wedding gown -
perfect in every way - with your lovely flowers, the beautiful veil and
headpiece - everything which you selected specifically for him - as the
tears swell up in his eyes, and he tells you how very much he loves and
adores you.
Don't
miss that moment!
A
Magic Moment With Grandma
Or, if
you are lucky enough to still have a living grandmother, the lovely moment
when she reaches up and puts her arms around you, and with tears in her
eyes, tells you how beautiful you look and how much she loves you, and how
proud she is of you.
Don't
miss that moment!
We could go on and on. Your entire
day will be made up of brief, priceless moments like these.
Let's make sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and planned
that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help you to be stress
free, but excited. We want you to enjoy and remember these wonderful
moments for the rest of your life.
How do we do that?
The way we
help these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help you
have a wonderful day! A day where everything goes
perfectly. As long as we do that, the rest will take care of itself!
If you ever talk with a photographer who says this to you, run away as fast
as you can!
If he
says, "Your photographs are all you will have after the wedding is
over. Your flowers will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - but
you'll have your photographs! They are the most important thing about
your wedding!" - then he's NOT the photographer for you!
Why
not? Because if he says that, he has a completely false impression of
his importance, and will try to run your day and take charge! Don't
let that happen! The photographs
are not the most important things (the romance, emotions and
relationships are the most important thing!)
SECRET
#7: How To Be Assured That You Will Be The Most Beautiful Bride
Your Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen!
You
deserve to have a wedding day where you are the most beautiful bride any of
your friends or relatives have ever seen. That's the dream of
every girl when she begins visualizing her wedding day. And you
deserve to have that!
We want
to make sure that is exactly what happens! How?
Simple. Yes, you will select the perfect dress, headpiece, veil,
flowers, shoes, etc.
Yes, you
will have your hair and make-up done. But it goes much deeper than
that.
You see,
beauty is also in the way you FEEL on your wedding day.
The way your emotions show on your face, and the way you glow when you walk
down the aisle and look in the eyes of the love of your life.
Many of
our brides will understand this when we say it: When you hire us to
photograph your wedding, you're really paying for Ludwig Photography to be
there. To take all the pressures and tensions out of the day for
you. You know that we are there, and that we truly care about you,
and will help you with EVERYTHING so the day goes perfectly.
That's really what our brides are paying us for. The photographs are
free. They're just an added "bonus!"
You see,
if you, your husband and your family and guests are all having a wonderful
time, you will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would
be. Because there will be no tension. And your photographs will
be WONDERFUL because you looked so beautiful and were having such a great
time.
A
True Tragic Story Of A Bride And Groom, And What It Means For You.
Let us
take a moment to tell you a true story.
Several
years ago, we received a phone call from a woman whose wedding Ludwig Photography had photographed a couple of years before.
Here's
what she said, "I just wanted to call you and tell you that our house
burned down last night."
We let her know how truly sorry we were
for her loss.
She said,
"We got out okay, and are fine. But I wanted you to know what I
did. It's the middle of the night, and the smoke detectors are going
off. We grab each other and run for the door! But I stopped and
picked up our wedding album you did for us on our wedding day! I left
the beautiful candelabrum that was my grandmothers. I left the family
heirloom bible that has been in the family for 3 generations. I left
EVERYTHING, except those wedding photographs because they are so meaningful
to me. Everyone who I love and care about is in that album. I
couldn't let them burn!
"Now, I understood that you have the negatives, and could have made us
another set of photographs. That wasn't why I 'saved' them. I
saved them because that album contains all the emotions, love, romance, and
relationships that matter in our lives! I just wanted you to know
that. Thank you so much for the photographs you created for us. They are priceless."
When she
finished speaking, she was crying, and so were we. She had just put
into words, what we had not been able to.
You
see how "Emotional Family Photography" can make your wedding
photographs absolutely PRICELESS?
The tender
fabric of your life is sewn together with beautiful, emotional moments
between you and your loved ones, and we want to capture and express all
those wonderful moments for you in your wedding albums - and accomplish
this without interfering with the emotions and romance of your wedding day.
Here's
What To Do Right Now!
Here's
what we strongly recommend you do IMMEDIATELY! Pick up the
phone and call us right now. Ask us if we still have your wedding
date available. Here's the problem - because we are so well known and
