Client brief

Started in photography years ago and picked a generic name until found what I liked to do. Now growing so it's time to flip names. Recently changed names to ArtisansofPhotography.com but learned shortly afterward there is an "Artisan Photography" in our metro and the singular "Artisan" is overused making it hard to create an identity. We really liked Artisans but feel we need to find a better name. Need help!

The Business:

  • Photographers
  • Mainly do wedding work
  • If not weddings, creative work for HS senior photos or maternity
  • Style is elegant and edgy.
  • Dallas-Ft Worth, Texas
  • Husband / wife team (we both shoot which is unusual)
  • 90% is onsite / on location photography
  • Most business is referrals so a good, easy to remember name is essential

Differences:

  • Here is a link to a video highlighting our differences if it helps.
  • We try new concepts like interesting angles, creative lighting, story telling, multi cameras, video lead ins to photos
  • We do a lot of creative editing afterward. The great photo is truly the rough canvas and we make it something better.
  • We charge a flat rate, everything included.
  • Not the cheapest but not the most expensive considering what we include and do.
  • Extremely personable and easy going. Do not try to dictate the wedding day flow like some of our peers.

Name Desires:

  • Versatile name that would be appropriate for weddings and senior photos.
  • Seeking a .com and .co.
  • Domain name containing "Photography" is beneficial
  • Needs to be unique and memorable
  • Positive visuals a plus
  • Prefer the name not limit us to weddings

Thanks for the help!!

Tips for choosing a great business name

Keep it pronounceable

A good business name should be easy to say out loud and spell from memory. If you have to spell it out every time you say it, it will slow down word-of-mouth growth.

.com still beats clever TLDs

Despite hundreds of new extensions, .com remains the most trusted TLD for professional brands. Customers default to typing .com - pick a .com name whenever possible.

Avoid trademark traps

Before you register, run a quick trademark search to make sure the name is clear in your industry. Similar names in the same category can lead to costly disputes later.

Test it in a sentence

Say "I work at [name]" or "Check us out at [name].com" out loud. The name should sound natural, confident, and memorable in everyday conversation.
