You've probably got it that I'm a Seth Godin fanboy. Every day I get my daily dose of something to think about. Posting about the digital revolution in our industry reminded me of this quote. It's from a very long post about the music industry, but it'll bounce ideas round your head: "The new thing is never as good as the old thing, at least right now. "Soon, the new thing will be better than the old thing will be. But if you wait until then, it’s going to be too late.  Feel free to wax nostalgic about the old thing, but don’t fool yourself into believing it’s going to be here forever. It To View More >>

In 25 days I get married. I’ve known my beautiful fiancée, Kayla, for over 10 years, dated her for over five and we've been engaged for one. We’ve been through some tough times together, shared plenty of good ones and believe that the heart of marriage is the relationship we create. I don’t consider myself uber romantic, funny, sensitive, or wealthy. But Kayla thinks otherwise. And that’s part of why I love her. I’m not a wedding planner or a photographer, just a normal guy in love, getting married … who happens to work at Queensberry. As you'd expect the photographers we work with To View More >>

As a soon-to-be groom, here are a few questions I've asked myself while looking through some photographer websites... How do I know whether I can afford you if you don't give me an indication of how much you cost? How do I know whether I can use you if you don't tell me where you are?

And if you are... we want to talk to you (not fill out an online contact form and wait for your reply). Why frustrate us by hiding the precise information To View More >>

Remember your first time? Doing whatever. Maybe photographing your first wedding? Years back when Subway turned up in New Zealand it took me 10 minutes and enough questions to drive mum up the wall to finally place my order. Why? Because I didn't know how. I've just committed to spending a lot of money on our wedding photography, but before I did, I was nervous. Not so much because of the money, but because I wasn't sure what I'd get for it. It was my first time. I'm in the industry, talk to photographers all the time, and write articles about marketing and business every day.  But I still felt To View More >>

Well, we made Photojunction free ... now what? After yesterday's new final we're finalising the development schedule for the next few months. It's always been our goal to make Photojunction the software of choice for wedding and portrait photographers, and we really appreciate the support we get from the thousands of photographers who use it. But we do also recognise that there are four areas where people struggle, or where we can see strong opportunities for improvement. 1, While most people fly through the set up procedure, some people struggle. Maybe it doesn't work as they expect, and therefore To View More >>
