How do you become successful in the wedding photography business?

jrp asked:

I started a small wedding photography business. I have placed business cards in local bridal shops. but I can’t seem to generate any customers at this time. No one is calling, I can’t afford the $1,000 -$1600 to enter bridal shows. I know word of mouth is the best way but when you don’t have a customer base what do you do? Please help
1.I have been in business for two years.
2. I have shot 9 weddings
3. I have all the things you need to conduct business ie. lic, samples, etc.

      I’m just agreeing with kehkohjones when he says to expand your horizons. Man, weddings are what people try to get OUT of doing after a while. Maybe you can do some on-site portraiture, especially if you live in some unique location like near the beach, etc. You might find some of THOSE people come back and ask if you can do a wedding if they were happy with your family or individual portraits.
