#WWIRETOPTIP “Make sure your FAQ section is updated every year! Many wedding professionals do not change it after they first fill it out…” –Michele Molnar, SCSM
Select a standout main image
• Avoid using generic photos • Showcase your expertise • Use professional photography • Check out the directory
#WWIRETOPTIP “I'm a fan of seasonally-relevant Main Images. Displaying the classic standard of a white dress in a green field during winter implies that a Storefront hasn't been updated in months. I recall seeing big spikes in traffic last year when a few of my photographers used snowy photos around the holidays.” –Sean O’Leary, SCSM

#WWIRETOPTIP “I always recommend their first photo album be a ‘best-of’ album with a good variety of pictures some of the inside of their venue, the outside, ceremonies, receptions, and the couple having a good time. Everyone is not looking for the same thing so highlight a little bit of everything. Then, of course, I recommend that the first 14 pictures be the best.” –Michele Molnar, SCSM
