Being a Winnipeg wedding photographer, I don't advertise nationally but do locally. I don't usually submit images/weddings to magazines but I decided to this time. I strongly recommend that you do it as far as your business is concerned. The Magazine is Weddingbells and they used 2 of my weddings Mimi Waldman Hildahl and Tom Hildahl's wedding, and Mara Ostrove and Benji Ostrove's wedding. Plus they used one of my images for the intro page of the Manitoba section. I already had a full page ad in there and now it's like getting another 3 full pages of advertising at no additional cost (other then just my time on selecting the images). The magazine isn't out on store shelves yet so now would be a good time to start and keep records to see if this extra exposure will help and if so, how much will it help.
This was the image that they chose for the intro page of the Manitoba section
These are the images and story that they chose from Miriam and Tom's wedding here in Winnipeg.

And this was the ad that I have in there now. It's a little different then my usual ad but I like the feel of it.
