Forbidden

I went with my cousin to a bridal show in 2005 when she was getting married...I kept this photog's brochure because it was SO bad!

• Strike One: Um, hello? You need new pics, we're in the future now! Styles have changed since 1991.
• Strike Two: What is up with that slogan? Forbidden passion? You're a wedding photographer!
• Strike Three: OH MY GOSH what is up with that picture?!?!? Why would you want to be photographed as though you were on the pot with your floating disembodied ghost of a husband?!?!?

Why did this person think this flyer would HELP them get business??

Dazzling

It was bound to happen sometime:

There are many things going on in my mind right now, but here are the main things:

1)An advertiser ACTUALLY did such a corny thing. If you look closely, you can see that the wedding takes place in Forks and everything!

2) They think this will get them customers...meanwhile this would make me *not* want to use them!

3) What kind of woman picks out a wedding vendor because they featured Twilight in their ad? Someone that I don't want anywhere near me, that's who.

4) It's nice to see that Edward and Bella had some nice invites. Do they sparkle? LOL

Do I Dazzle You?

It's probably hard to tell in these photos, but in person the "twinkles" on the dress are terribly distracting. Are you a sparkling vampire? You could probably get away with one or two if you were a Disney princess, but it's so fake/cheesy looking to have so many. It ruins an otherwise classy ad.

Your bling is radioactive! I need sunglasses!

Hmmm...

Maybe if you are trying to sell stylish, youthful Mother of the Bride outfits, then you shouldn't use a prop that looks an awful lot like a walker!

The seat blends into the background too, all you really see are the legs!

Fine Print

So here's an ad for your very own wedding website...seems fine enough:

But what does the fine print on the sites say?

"Our dream has come true! We are getting married. Please join us in celebrating our love and give us lots of money at the reception. If you cannot attend, that is alright. We will miss you but will provide an address to which you can send extravagant gifts."

Over and over and over again, on all of them! Apparently someone has a sense of humor...and they also think that no one actually pays attention to the ad!

Corpse Bride

I'm not sure if this is an ad for a photographer or an event planner or what, but does it not look like he's trying to dispose of the body? Why on earth would you use that to represent your services?
