Bride wedding day makeup

11 years 10 months ago #239123 by MYoung
So yesterday I had a good meeting with a make up artist that specializes in weddings. We are going to start referring business to each other. I was surprised some of the makeup tips that they do for the wedding. The biggest is that they layer on makeup extra thick so photos don't looked all washed out. Interesting!

BTW, what other people have you successfully partnered with in order to send business to each other?

Yes that is true. But I think you were referring to 'makeup' rather than "mackup" :P

But yes, partnering with as many other companies is good business assuming there is honest efforts on their end to send business back to you too.

Partnering with another businesses is excellent, just make sure that they are a business that is producing a quality product. It would reflect poorly on you if the the customer gets poor results.

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

This is a great idea. Partnering with other local vendors can be key to growing your business. In addition to makeup, think of other vendors that might be able to use high quality photos for their own marketing. For example, you could talk to the local bakery and ask for referrals in exchange for a few cake shots from any referred wedding that they can add to their portfolio. It's a win-win. Same goes for florists.
