More Brides by Shotkit

Wedding Photography Books – More Brides

Read the BEST Wedding Photography Books. More Brides shows you how to book more weddings using modern techniques for the smart wedding photographer.

More Brides is one of the most popular wedding photography books which helps to answer every wedding photographer’s dilemma, namely How to Book more Weddings.

Whether you’re a veteran wedding photographer with hundreds of weddings under your belt, or just a newcomer to the wedding photography industry, More Brides is packed full of information to help you grow your wedding photography business.

One thing I’ve realised after my interactions with hundreds of wedding photographers from around the world is that no matter how successful you are, booking more weddings is always a concern.

Whilst new wedding photographers simply want to book as many weddings as possible, more established wedding photographers are looking to book more wedding clients that suit their style.

We all want to shoot the weddings we enjoy, and get enough wedding booking requests to allow us the luxury of choice. Quality over quantity.

Out of all the wedding photography books, More Brides is the most focused on teaching you how to book more weddings whilst choosing the exact wedding clients you want to work with.

Actionable Wedding Photography Books are rare…

Wedding Photography Books - More Brides

There aren’t many wedding photography books that tell you exactly what to do to book more weddings (i.e. actionable tips). More Brides looks to change that.

But first, why should you listen to me?

I’ll be honest with you. I’m not an award winning wedding photographer. (Check out my work here if you like – you’ll see it’s nothing special.)

I don’t have thousands of Facebook fans or Instagram followers. I’m just like you – a wedding photographer competing with the hundreds of other wedding photographers in my hometown.

However, what I do have is over 10 years of experience in online marketing, as well as all the knowledge gained via my interactions with the most successful wedding photographers in the world today, thanks to my work with Shotkit.

These are savvy men and women who may not be the best wedding photographers in the world, but who are getting so many booking requests every day of the year that they are able to choose exactly the right client they want to work with.

They’re also able to choose the exact cities and countries where they want to shoot a destination wedding.

With More Brides, I’ll show you how to increase your wedding booking requests, so you can book more weddings that suit you. I’ll also show you how you can book a wedding anywhere in the world, if that’s your goal.

How can More Brides help you Book Weddings?

Wedding Photography Books - More Brides

More Brides is the only wedding photography book that is packed full of tips, techniques, guides and advice to help increase the number of wedding booking requests you receive.

In fact, I’m so confident that you can at least double your wedding booking requests in under 6 months that I’m willing to offer a money back guarantee.

All you need to do to book more weddings is to follow the simple but detailed step-by-step guides outlined in the 15 chapters.

Here are some examples of what you can expect from More Brides:

SEO Tips for Photographers

I’ve never met a wedding photographer who likes SEO. It’s a mysterious art that’s boring, time-consuming, and for the most part, unrewarding.

There are one or two other wedding photography books that focus on SEO, but I found them all way too confusing.

How Much Do You REALLY Know About Photography?! 🤔

Test your photography knowledge with this quick quiz!

See how much you really know about photography...

In More Brides, I’ve broken down the confusing topic of SEO into 3 easily-digestible areas that I believe will provide the biggest impact for the least effort.

In fact, 6 months after implementing the tips in wedding photography book More Brides, my own search engine rankings for the highly competitive word ‘photographer’ took a huge leap to page 1 of google.com.au.

In fact, I expect my rankings to continue to improve as time goes by… without the need to do any more work on SEO.

Below is a screen shot from Serpbook, a tool that provides accurate data on keyword performance.

It shows that my wedding photography website has been moving up the google rankings in the past few months since I implemented the SEO techniques in More Brides.

The sudden jump in mid-June 2016 can be attributed to one certain technique in particular that I outline in More Brides.

As photographers, we don’t have time to fiddle around with confusing SEO practices, which is often like stabbing in the dark.

It’s also not a good long-term strategy to pay an SEO company to help with your rankings, since this may involve shady practices that can eventually cause harm to your online business.

Don’t waste any more time or money on SEO for your wedding photography business – More Brides tells you exactly what to do to ensure you’re one step ahead of your competitors, dominating the search engine rankings.

Social Media for Photographers

One of the biggest time drains I’ve seen for wedding photographers is social media.

Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter… there are so many social media platforms to choose from, but we have so little time!

For most wedding photographers, social media feels like pushing water uphill – you have to keep posting, commenting, liking and sharing multiple times a day for it to have any effect… and that effect is pretty negligible too.

In More Brides I uncover the most effective social media techniques that can have the biggest impact on your wedding photography business with the least effort.

Improving your SEO and your social media efforts are just 2 examples from the 15 chapters in More Brides that all focus on how to book more weddings by increasing your wedding photography booking requests.

Due to the large amount of information in More Brides, I recommend that you dip in and out of any chapter that takes your interest. It is not intended to be read from cover to cover – you might experience information overload!

If you choose the chapters that interest you and follow the step-by-step guides, I have no doubt that you will increase the number of clients who want to book you for their wedding.

I’ve been implementing the techniques in More Brides for almost a year now, and have seen a marked increase in the number of wedding leads (booking requests) I’ve received.

how to book more weddings

My own wedding booking requests have taken a big jump over recent months.

I still shoot the same 20-30 weddings a year, but the weddings I’m booking are the ones I really want to shoot. Quality over quantity.

Having almost triple the number of wedding leads each month allows me this luxury of choice.

I reveal all the techniques that have worked in More Brides, but don’t just take my word for it – wedding photographers who received a pre-release copy of More Brides have also seen similar success. See what they have to say here.

Make More Money with More Brides

As wedding photographers, we all love taking photos. Some of us even enjoy post-processing too.

We’d be lying though if we didn’t mention that we all want to make more money with wedding photography.

Photography is our art form first and foremost, but it’s also our business that helps us to earn enough money to lead the lives we want to lead.

More Brides will help you book more weddings and make more money as a wedding photographer.

N.B. More Brides is classed as work-related expense, making it 100% tax deductible.

(Not only will More Brides help make you more money booking more weddings, but it can also be deducted from your photography business’s end of year tax bill too.)

tax deduction

Remember to include More Brides and any other educational expenses when filling in the schedule C of your tax form.

More Brides will pay for itself many times over when you start doubling and tripling your wedding photography requests, and it’s nice to know that it can be used to reduce your taxable photography income too.

    Very helpful, thank you!

  2. Daniel Baci on July 19, 2020 at 5:10 am

    Book “More Brides” looks very worthy and I am going to apply the mentioned tactics and let you know about the results. Thanks!!

  3. Chris on January 24, 2017 at 2:25 am

    Hi Mark,
    Love your “More Brides” book!
    I do have one question though.
    You reference to using Thrive Landing Pages because you can also delete the menu at the top to make the page as clean as possible. I bought Trive last week and love it, but I can not find any way to make my WP menu disappear. Am I missing something?
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    • Mark on January 24, 2017 at 7:44 am

      Hi Chris! Glad you’re enjoying More Brides. This will differ per WP theme, so you’ll either have to get in touch with the theme developer or possibly the support at Thrive may help. Good luck!

    Hi Mark,

    Loving Book More Brides, Its left permanently open on my desktop and I reference it a few times a day.

    Just thought I would drop a line to say I copied your NZ Elopement Ad for Facebook and booked my first one in 8 days. She just signed the contract today and I’m off to the South Island in February.

  5. Julian Abram Wainwright on October 10, 2016 at 10:37 pm

    It takes about 5 minutes flipping through the PDF to realize Mark’s book is well worth the investment. Very straightforward, practical advice on marketing strategies that seem obvious when explained, but had yet eluded me completely until now. Some very good advice in here.

    • Mark on October 11, 2016 at 12:58 pm

      Great to hear you’re finding it useful Julian! Thanks for the comment :-)

  6. Peter on September 24, 2016 at 5:06 pm

    Well, this book looks great, hovewer i am focused only on my region and country.
    So therefore i would like to ask following and maybe someone can help. Do anyone have experience to use the advices from the book outside of ENG language? for example: if there is keyword strategy, ENG is totally different as SVK :).

    So will the advices work?

    Many thanks for response.

    Peter

    • Mark on September 25, 2016 at 1:30 pm

      Hey Peter, the keyword research strategy as well as the other advice in More Brides is all location non-specific ie you can use it where ever you are in the world :-)

  7. Gabrielle on July 30, 2016 at 4:21 am

    Only read 2 chapters and already know I’m gonna love this! (Took me almost half the day to read those lol). Congrats on your new book! It’s sure to help wedding photographers so much in business and life

  8. Patricia P on July 28, 2016 at 6:05 am

    • Mark on July 28, 2016 at 6:11 am

      Thanks so much for your enthusiasm about the book Patricia! Be sure to let us know how your 2017 bookings go ;-)

    • Mark on July 28, 2016 at 6:10 am
