I work with wedding and elopement photographers who want to thrive in their business and connect with their dream ideal clients through marketing that works and is authentic.

Blog and Pinterest Ideas

• Pinterest Post Ideas
• Blog Topic Ideas

Pinterest Post Ideas

Pinterest has enormous potential to drive traffic to your website and generate new inquiries for your wedding or elopement photography business. It’s not just about planning extravagant wedding details. Unlike most social media platforms, which prefer users not to click on external links to leave the platform and make adding links to leave their site difficult – such as Instagram – Pinterest takes a different approach.

If a user likes your pin, they can click on it to be taken directly to the page where it was saved, which is your website – Blogging and Pinterest work hand in hand. As a result, the ability to generate traffic from Pinterest is huge!

With this in mind, you need some Pin ideas so your ideal clients find your work and want to see it.

*Tip: Alongside these ideas, it is essential that you do keyword research to ensure you receive the best results and the most traffic.

The Details

Show off the details of the elopement you shot. People use Pinterest to look for inspiration and ideas, so it is important to give them what they are looking for.

As a wedding or elopement photographer, I am sure your portfolio includes details such as stationery, jewelry, accessories, and so on. So, include this in your pinning strategy. Your ideal clients are looking for vendors and inspiration, so you can even tag the vendors!

Location

The location of an elopement is huge. It is one of the major factors that eloping couples consider, so you want to give them the inspiration that they need. Your photography will show off the location your couples eloped in, in all its beauty. 

People will be looking for elopement location ideas and when they see your work, they may fall in love with it and even want to book you as their photographer!

The Experience

People love a good experience, so it is important that this comes across in your Pins! Show them every moment that you captured – all of the fun activities and lovely emotions that took place. Show them your style and approach to photos, whether it’s documentary, nostalgic, filmy, moody or more!

Vendors

As I already mentioned, your ideal client is on Pinterest, creating their vision board and looking for vendors who can help them achieve that vision.

So, post images of the stationery, accessories, dress, food, and entertainment you took photos of during their elopement. Mention the vendors in the post and show them you are an authoritative source with all of the information they need to plan their day!

Blog Topic Ideas

Showing up on Google is a must! Your ideal clients are searching for everything they need to know here—advice, tips, ideas, inspiration, and services to help them plan their elopement.

The best way to get traffic through Google and show up on the first page above your competitors is to write well-optimized blogs. This means ensuring your blog posts are SEO friendly so Google recognizes them and wants to rank you.

You also have to be consistent, just like Pinterest, for the best results!

Here are some blog post ideas for photographers who want to attract eloping couples to their website.

Location and Venue Ideas

An excellent way to get your yourself ranking for location keywords is to write about topics that are based on your target location. This blog idea for elopement photographers is the best way for you to be seen in your desired locations.

Eloping couples will be searching for location ideas and even venues in a particular area so you want to show up and give them the answers they are looking for.

So the blog topics could look like:

Recommended Vendors

Just like Pinterest, people will search Google for vendor recommendations for their elopement, whether in general or in a particular location.

If you have worked with vendors that you would highly recommend, then add them to your blog post. If these vendors are all in your target location, even better—this is a great blog idea for elopement photographers as it is another location keyword to focus on! This will help you network with your fellow vendors, give them a nice backlink to their sites and maybe, they’ll feature you too! Networking is such a great way to build relationships AND get more clients from referrals.

So the blog topics could look like:

• Top Elopement Vendors in (Location) – Share your personal recommendations for the best elopement vendors in the area, including florists, caterers, and officiants. You could also create a more broken down guide for Elopement Florists, Elopement Decorators, Officiants!

Show Your Knowledge

You know what you are good at, and what you can best advise your ideal clients. So, do some keyword research to see what your audience is searching for, brainstorm your best advice and knowledge, and write a blog post.

Whether that be an FAQ blog, a top tips blog, or a blog about a particular topic such as timelines, styling advice, etc. This can be so helpful to include in an email to your clients, pointing them towards a guide, and can be repurposed into IG captions, email newsletters and more!

The Experience

Again, your ideal clients want to know who they will work with. Give them as much insight into your working style and approach as possible. If they can see that they will get on with you and their values align with yours, they are much more likely to invest.

This is a blog idea for elopement photographers that your ideal client can’t resist! If your website is a blank canvas with no personality, information or insight into how you work with clients then they may feel reluctant and go to a competitor’s page.
