This little gem came from Deb Saunders via Facebook and it discusses a topic very important to wedding photographers. The research was done by Splendid Communications & Brides Magazine and is current-ish (up to 2011).
We cannot confirm the sample size, they state the data is world-wide, and it appears to sit with our experience of the Australian market.
The research is available for purchase ($59) and might be worth a full read, this is a link to the purchase information.
Here a link to the summary article Deb provided from Rock N’ Roll Bride.
Hi! The data is actually from Splendid Insights, the unbiased market research firm under The Splendid Collective umbrella. The sample size for the 2011 research is 14,000+ brides AND grooms. The 2012 research will be released first quarter 2013.
Thanks you Liene, it is great to have that clarified.
