During a recent conversation with a representative from mywedding.com I was asked a few questions about my business to see if we (as businesses) would be a good fit for each other.  The first question was, “What makes you different from other photographers?”  I laughed and said, “Well I could say it’s my unique vision and attention to detail.  But I think that if you’re a professional photographer you should have those things – they are a standard and not unique.  Quite honestly I have been trying to answer this question for a while now.”  She then asked, “Who is the ideal bride for Sweeney Photography?”  I answered, “I think the ideal couple for Sweeney Photography believes the most important part of their day is that they are marrying their best friend.”  She paused and said, “That is what makes you different from all the other photographers I’ve talked to.”  I was a bit confused and she continued, “Every other photographer I have spoken to in the Madison/Milwaukee markets has answered – a bride that can pay me.”  I was and still am – dumbfounded.  She then said, “I think you finally have the answer to the first question and it’s a really wonderful answer.”
