When starting with any small company, one of the first things that you’ll need are business cards. They are the way you can spread the info to friends and family that you have started a new venture and they present all of your new contact information.

When any new wedding photography business owner starts out there is generally a massive amount of enthusiasm and this can end up in some nonessential purchases early on. One of those is letterheads and marketing literature. It used to be the situation that you needed glossy brochures, flyers, printed stationary, costly business cards, portfolio carriers and large number of other leaflets such as price lists, booking forms, contracts for example.
