Sleepeless debate

I seem to be in that state of restlessness due to a racing mind-creatively flowing, screwed up sleeping patterns and just plain excitement for the new idea's related to my site design build out and future project's that will help not only my business but the viewer and reader as well. Yep, I said viewer...meaning I have video coming soon. Tutorials mainly related to photography...shooting certain scenarios and Canon related questions. The things I find myself wanting to tackle are issues related to topics that I thought would be easy to find answers to on the web but just simply were not. So each topic that I discover as being very difficult to find the black and white answer or the vague commentaries that even though some peeps out there address the topic... are actually poor at really explaining the clear differences. Simple example: Which is better Canon or Nikon. The endless debate for some...but for me the answer has become pretty simple to explain. Read the next blog for the answer titled Canon or Nikon?

The Charleston Bride

With a little over a year n Charleston I find certain things already clear and some still a bit gray. The clear is that since I have dove into the wedding photography world I have quickly realized there seems to be very little well organized, well thought out directories for photographers and brides. For being a city and state so recognized for weddings and a top 3 destination state for weddings one would think that this would be a hot bed for info and almost a streamlined approach for an out of towner or for even us locals to get a great user friendly listing from bridal stores to photographers and florists but it just does not seem to be. So with my brain brewing with idea's daily... frustrated with lack of info...I have started a strong pre-production into the site which will be called "The Charleston Bride". The domain has already been acquired and caries the same name- The Charleston Bride.com(not yet active)
The goal of the site is to mainly focus on helping a bride find the best vendors for their perfect day. From event planners to everyone else needed such as catering and photography they will all be there and over time their rating will be set by the user. It will be full of numerous ways to categories and refine what seems best for you with Q & A discussion, articles and listing to verify the brides instincts and hopefully find the key people that can be filtered from styles, to budget, and most of all free to the user. This will also help all vendors save a lot of money because there are so many of us burning through money on advertising and AdWords trying to individually get seen on the web through all that info that really should be refined down to our local area. My hope is that a bride or family member trying to plan or help plan a wedding can find who and what they need efficiently with a very comprehensive listing from venues, officiants, planners and everyone and thing they may possibly need for a wedding they dreamed of here in Charleston.
