Referral Program

Our Referral Program starting August 1, 2014.

How it works: Refer a photo session or wedding. Once they book, sign and pay, you get a gift certificate after their session or wedding is complete, towards any Out of the Ordinary products/packages. It is up to the referrer to contact us requesting the gift certificate. We will need the name and date of event/s for the person/s you referred.

If you plan ahead, you could save yourself a lot of money. For example if you were planning for a wedding or your upcoming teen's senior portraits, you can start referring years in advance and try to collect enough gift certificates so that your event coverage could be free. The earning possibilities are endless! They also make great gifts...

Here's what you could earn per booked referral of:
Weddings: $50
Engagement: $25
Bridal or Dirty My Dress: $25
Maternity: $25
Newborn: $25
Toddler, Children or Mommy & Me: $25 Family Session: $25
Modeling/Couples/Headshots: $25
Senior Portraits: $25
Businesses: $25
Baptisms: $15

NOTES: *No referral limit. *Only one gift certificate will be handed out per event. *Gift certificate goes to the first person that requests it and is verified as the referrer for the session or event. *In the chance that we get duplicate verified referrals on the same day, it will be split between them. *These are not the prices of photo sessions, events or wedding.

Accolades Video Collaboration

ANNOUNCEMENT: Out of the Ordinary is now collaborating with Accolades Videography and you can get a discount with them when you sign up with me. Or if you happen to sign up with them first you can get that same discount from me! For more information contact us or Accolades directly.

I have nothing but good things to say about Greg and Leah from Accolades Video. They are so much fun to worth with, reasonably priced and cover your wedding with no stress. They offer very nice quality video, top of the line recorders, creative scenes getting details, along with nice lighting, smooth transitions between scenes and especially during different camera to camera angles. I really like their use of sound/music mostly using what's available rather than filler music the whole time. You can hear what people are saying when it's important and during vows which I feel is most important. It's simple and it was true-to-sound of the event happening which I think makes it even more intimate and real. There isn't too much fluff of what I see with other videographers who try to do 2-way or 4-way eye-twisting scenes that simply give me a headache and cross-eyes. Just a simple video showing lots of love and joy from the day, capturing what matters to you... which I love. And I have to say I didn't think I would be but by the end of watching one of Accolade's videos of a weddings it looks like I'm sucker for the guest interviews after all. Something about them just struck me. Anyway now that I've gotten all the gushy details written down from my point of view -- you have to check them out for yourselves! Links below.

They were so unobtrusive and professional at the wedding we did together I don't think I even have a photo of them in action at the wedding to show you who they are. haha! A photographers dream come true and we worked so well together. So here is one off their site. I look forward to working with them in the future!

Be you, be natural,
