I have been to so many weddings as a photographer, I have lost count.  But I always remember the cakes!  From an experienced wedding cake eater to all the brides out there - PLEASE take your time and taste the cakes from cake shops before you order yours!  I have seen some beautiful cakes that were dry and tastes bad, and I have seen some not so pretty cakes that were super delicious.  Don't just pick a wedding cake by design or price only!  Shop around, and make sure that you like how they taste for that your can have a Pretty Cake that Tastes Great too!

Try lighting your subject from left to right!  You naturally read from left to right in English, so your eye will naturally travel from left to right.  If you lighting pattern follows this rule, it can really create impact.  Give it a try!

Anyone can make one:
For better or worse, anyone can write a blog post about anything they want. Everyone has a voice and the best voices will rise to the top.

The writer can show their personality:
In blog posts, the writer has more leeway to add in their voice and personality than other types of writing.

Blogs are a great form of mass communication:
You can help people, learn new things, entertain your audience-the possibilities are endless and amazing. Blogging opens up all of these to a very wide audience.

You can make money:

Get the right blog going and you can make a lot of money through advertising and sponsored posts.

It allows people to craft better thoughts:
Instead of reading haphazard, uneducated Facebook statuses, it's much better to see people's thought process in a well-written blog post.

You can establish a community:
Blogging allows you to connect with other individuals who share the same interests. Sharing ideas and opinions within your community helps establish yourself as a thought leader.

Good for SEO:
Keeping content on your site fresh and relevant, you can use your blog to boost the search engine ranking (SEO) of your site and your business.

It brings people back to your site:

If your blog is strong enough and updated regularly, people will come back looking for more and bring traffic back to your site as well.

It's free:
It costs you a grand total of zero dollars to post to the blog, so if you have something to say, there's nothing to stop you.

You can establish yourself as a thought leader:

A blog is a great place for your original thoughts, and it can be a wonderful way to show off your individuality. If people like your ideas, you can become a thought leader in your industry!
