Retweets - GOOD ADVICE

I would like to share a couple more tweets that hit close to home for me.  I always tell brides that its important to budget for a videographer when making wedding plans.  Being a wedding videographer, its only natural for me to think that way.  But I'm not the only one . . .

ReTweet

Like alot of other wedding industry vendors, I have a Twitter account; and I probably spend more time on it than I should.  As is the nature of Twitter, the majority of tweets are unimportant or self-promotions, but there are many that introduce you to things of interest, validate your feelings, and some just make you smile.  I have my favorites, and when someone tweets something that particularly resonates with me, I save it by taking a screenshot of it with my iPhone.  Over time, I have compiled quite a collection, and thought it might be fun to share some of them with you.

Here's the one that started my collection.  

I saved this because I've grown so tired of photographers and videographers aspiring to be "rockstars" in the wedding industry.  Our job is not to "rock" our client's wedding - the "star" of the day is the bride and groom.  Not the photographer.  Not the videographer.   It just sounds so self-absorbed, so when I saw this tweet from the amazing Jeremy Cowart (one of the few who truly could claim to be a rockstar!), my first impulse was to save it.  And it always makes me smile when I find it in my iPhone's camera roll folder. 

Jeremy has alot of company in that folder now; he was the first of many tweets I saved when someone tweeted something that particularly hit home for me.  My plan is to start sharing these with you and make it a recurring series on the blog.  Who knows?  You may have tweeted something that is in my collection!  :)
