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
webpage 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
webpage is not for you. I'm 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!
My name
is Duane McCargo, and I LOVE weddings! I've been photographing them
for 14 years. I love
the emotion and romance of your wedding.
Good morning! I just wanted to take
a minute to let you know how much I have
enjoyed working with you. All
the pictures are great and the time you have taken
to help me has been greatly
appreciated. I was referred to you by a friend and I am
so glad she thought of you! I will recommend you to anyone who is
looking for a
great photographer and a
wonderful person to work with! You and your wife
helped make our wedding day
special and you have given us many memories to
look back on. Thank you so much for all you have done!”
Sincerely,
-Marie & James

Here's How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic, And Emotional Wedding Day Of
Your Dreams!
If you're
still reading, let me 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, I kid you not, your wedding day
- not just your photographs! Why? Because he's THERE
- with you and your family, in person - interacting with all your family
and guests - and representing you every minute.
Now,
HONESTLY, we're not just talking about photography here -
we're 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 he helps you plan your wedding,
the way he treats you and your loved ones, and the way he conducts himself
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, who 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! He'll spend all his
time looking at the list, and miss all the wonderful, romantic and
spontaneous moments of your wedding!)
Then,
decide if you REALLY LIKE HIM, as well as his work! Because he's 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's my answers to those questions:
I'm the
ONLY photographer at my studio. I will be photographing your wedding personally. I
will dress in a nice suit (NOT A TUX, AND NOT JUST SLACKS AND A
SHIRT! I don't want to take anything away from your groom and
groomsmen and the fathers, and I also don't want to dress casually, and not
represent you professionally.)
I have
been photographing weddings, as I mentioned earlier, for _____ years.
Can you fill in the blank? Just checking to see if you're paying
attention! It's 13 years!
I'll 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 me to do. I NEVER will leave your wedding
without checking with all of the above people!
"We
would like to thank you for your exceptional work! The photos are great and
there are so many to choose from! We really appreciate all of your hard
work!!

#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
he was 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 him and told him how happy
they were with both him, and his work! We're talking TESTIMONIALS
here! From real people, with their 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!)
I'm sorry
to be so skeptical, but we live in a time in history when you have to be
really careful to be certain that people are telling you the truth.
You will
notice that throughout this webpage 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 names, city and state are listed,
so, if you really wanted to, we could give you references so that you could
contact them.

"Thank
you for all of your hard work, it is much appreciated. You guys are
awesome!"

#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 which will be PRICELESS to
you for years and 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 he will be compassionate
about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day.
You see, only a true romantic can truly 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!
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 himself in only the most professional and friendly way, because he
understands in the most intimate way, the importance of the "Story of
Your Wedding Day."
"I would like to thank you for responding
to my email and mailing out my photos. The pictures are the best I've seen
so far this year of the events that I have provided flowers for. I would
like a couple of your business cards to pass on to my clients. I also would
like to post one photo on my website”

#5: The Truth About Wedding Photographers Revealed. What They
Don't Want Me To Tell You!
It is not
my intention to say anything bad about any other photographers in the
area. However, it is really important that I alert you, in this
website to some of the problems that you otherwise would never know about.
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. He's just won't have
the sensitivity and enthusiasm and love for what he does to be able to
capture those feelings. And he won't have the time or energy.
By
the way, I ONLY photograph ONE wedding per day.
You get me for the ENTIRE
DAY. I understand how important this day is to you, and I am
there for you!
This also
means that I'm rested and energetic. It also means I'm enthusiastic about
what I will be doing for you. As I mentioned earlier, I photograph
weddings because I LOVE them.
And since I only photograph one wedding a day, I'm 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.
This means that he isn't going to be trying to work alone to photograph
your important day.
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 me explain.
I will
arrive at your wedding with my wife,
Mary. 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 a
second photographer She's helps 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 PERFECTLY EMOTIONAL
photographs!
A
HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE::
The
Magic Of "E.F.P" On Your Wedding Day!
You see,
I don't really look at it as "wedding photography," but rather as
"Emotional Family Photography (E.F.P) 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 separates me from all
the other wedding photographers in the area. I 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 I am driven to do for
you!
You see,
you want photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion,
respect, and the glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day.
You want
your photography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, AND
your families and friends.
Most
photographers, bless their hearts, just want to "record the event, and
go home."
I 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 I am driven to capture for you.
Here's
just three examples:
NEW!
An Amazing And Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express Your Love For Your Dad
On Your Wedding Day!
I can assure you that 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!
I 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 so stress free, but excited, that you can
enjoy and remember these wonderful, magical moments for the rest of your
life.
How do we do that?
I'll bet
you think I'm going to say that you do this through the photography.
Right? Wrong! The way we help these moments happen, and help you
remember them, is to help you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional
day! A day where everything goes perfectly. As long as we
do that, the rest will take care of itself!
That's
what Mary and I will do for you.
Oh,
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! Because the photographs ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING - 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!
Let's see
to it 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
my brides will understand this when I say it: When you hire us to photograph
your wedding, you're really paying for Mary and I 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 (there's that great word again!), 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 there. And, by the way, your photographs will be WONDERFUL,
too, because you looked so wonderful and were having such a great time.
See how it all
"fits" together to result in a wonderful day, and wonderful
photographs? You really can't separate them!
You
see how "Emotional Family Photography" can make your wedding
volumes absolutely PRICELESS?
In my
humble opinion, the tender fabric of your life is sewn together with
beautiful, emotional moments between you and your loved ones, and I want to
capture and express all those wonderful moments for you in your wedding
volumes - and accomplish this without interfering with the emotions and
romance of your wedding day.
