Free Album Templates:
This will quite possibly be the most useful piece of swag a wedding photographer will ever receive. All wedding photographers should have a set of templates to create their wedding albums with. When times are slim, it may become necessary to deign your albums yourself in order to save some money as opposed to hiring an album design company.
Paid members of the PPBF can enjoy a FREE set of 88 elegant wedding album templates designed by Aric of Solaris Studios.

Free Site Reviews:
Today, people looking to hire a wedding or portrait photographer do their shopping online. It’s the easiest and fastest way for a potential customer to compare one studio to another. This makes a photographer’s website one of their primary sales tools.
Wouldn’t it be great to have other professional photographers review your site for free, and give you feedback as to how effective your site is at attracting new business?

There are so many elements which determine whether or not a potential client will contact your studio when looking at your site. Yes, having beautiful imagery on your site is important, but that alone is not going to get your phone to ring. You may actually have things on your site that will stop you phone from ringing.
