Question Details: Yesterday I posted two potential ads we were considering for a full page ad in a bridal magazine. Here are those ads: http://www.hollowaysgallery.com/ini...
Here is a different shot of the couple which looks very different. I have the new on the left and the old on the right. The new is not fashioned into an ad yet so keep in mind it won't have the logo and verbiage.

Of these two which attracts you? Remember, we are wanting to attract newly engaged women who will see this in a bridal magazine. Why do you like or dislike?
Also, we had the tag line of "First Comes Love.... Then comes Holloway's". That reminded people too much of a jewelry ad.
How are these tag lines, why and why not?
Timeless Love...Timeless Memories....Holloway’s Photography.
Real Love...Real Memories ...Let us Capture them.
First comes Love...Then comes Holloway’s.
Love is Forever...Let us Capture Yours.
Your Love is Real...Let Holloway Capture it.
I'm sorry! I copied and pasted from the question I posted in advertizing. Didn't show full link.

Kimberly, I'm glad you have an opinion just too bad it isn't about what I asked. I'm the photographer and am paying huge sums of $$ for this ad. I want the opinion of the general public which will be reading and hopefully responding to this ad. I believe Answers is a fairly large group of the general public. What better place to survey a potential ad? You might want to reconsider.
KK, reading your bio you sound like a young person. Too bad you are so bitter and filled with whatever it is your are filled with. I'm glad you have all the bucks in the world to hire all the testing you want but I am limited. I love that you need to pick on typing errors to make your points. Why don't you try stepping out of your comfy little life and try really living. Though you make snide remarks about my typing (poor baby!) and my lack of professionalism because of my type-o I am out there living it. Supporting my family making a way doing what we are gifted at. We are photographers and make a lovely life doing it. You sound tough but honey you can't come close. One day life will bite you on then nose and then you'll wonder where your tough little hide went.
I do not like any of the photos. I think you are selling jewellery not photography.
The first looking over the shoulder looks like she has sinister motives. That is what her eyes are saying to me, no love or excitement there at all. Her ring is crooked. Really bad!
The second one of better, but you have made the ring the focus (and not even a good focus as it looks cheap and milky after all your manipulation) suggesting jewelery to me not photography.
Your newest photo is even worse then the first one. She looks evil.
The tag line is misleading "first comes love, then comes halloways". I would not be like "wow I'm in love, better get a photographer", Instead I would be focused on the engagement which you seem to be as well.
To fix this do a completely new shoot. Focus on the couple gazing lovingly at each other. Have them on wedding dress and suit. No one ever thinks of the photgrapher first when they get engaged, especially since the wedding is usually a year or so away, so you should not focus on that moment in your ad.
As for your slogan "Timeless love, timeless memories, Halloways photography" is the best, especially of coupled with a photo of the happy bride and groom.
The rest are $hit.
Do not use the photos you already have as they are badly manipulated and bad quality. If they are your work it would be detrimental to your company to include these.

Whether you are in the midst of wedding planning now, or were happily wedded years ago, what tips, ideas or advice can you share with other brides? What do you wish you had done differently, or what are you glad you did? What unique, personal touches did you include in your own wedding? Do you have any cool ideas on: party favors, wedding party gifts, bridesmaids attire, invitations/programs, child attendants, showers/bachelor(ette) parties, the ceremony/vows/etc, wedding cake, photography/videography, the honeymoon? (These are just 'prompts' to spark your memory - you don't have to answer them all!!) I am finishing my wedding planner/workbook and would like to include tips from real-life brides. Your input and ideas would be a huge help!!
First off, congratulations on your upcoming marriage! May you have a healthy, happy union.
After being very happily married for 18+ years, my advise is this: You don't want the wedding to overshadow the marriage. A wedding is just for 1 day, but your marriage should last your lifetime. Rule number 1: Don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number 2: It's all small stuff. Don't get so wrapped up in the knitty gritty of wedding planning that you forget the most important reason which is why you're there in the first place. Good luck and best wishes to you both!

Hi guys, I'm going to hong kong in August. My sister went right after she got married and had her wedding photos taken there. The photography place provided attire for the bride and groom and also a beautiful setting. My sister looked so pretty. I'm going for 9 days and I really want to take those pictures with my husband (we're newly weds). I don't know if my sister is playing dumb or she really don't remember anything. If anyone can recommend or have information on a particular professional photography place that'll be nice. Like I said, I'm only staying for 9 days and I know that should be the first thing to do when I get there. Please help!!!! Thanks.

shes paying me $75 for a whole day of work. her weddings are either 6, 8, or 10 hrs long. my job will be to help with posing and make sure that the brides dress is set nice and vail, and make sure nothing is wrong with the way they are standing.
It probably depends on your experience.
If you have none but are interested in photography you should probably think of it more as a learning experience than a job and try to not worry too much about the money.
I went through the same process with DJing. The first while pays very little and costs a lot but working with other professionals gets you and your name into the field.
