WHO WE BUILD FOR / PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIOS
Websites and automation for photography studios
Every 'are you free on the 14th?' costs a conversation, and every album delivery gets chased from both sides. We build the portfolio that books — and the workflows that answer, track, and collect.
WEBSITE ONLY · AUTOMATION ONLY · OR JOINED — EVERY SPEC SOLD SEPARATELY
Sound familiar?
What's still done by hand
Every one of these is a workflow waiting to exist. None of them needs new software your team has to learn.
THE REAL COST
Answer maths: an enquiry answered within the hour books at a very different rate than one answered next week — and wedding season generates both the most enquiries and the least time to answer them. The album chase eats the rest: every 'almost ready' message is unbilled admin.
- Date enquiries need a calendar check and a call back — often too late
- Album and photo deliveries are chased by clients, then promised, then chased again
- Advances are informal; balances surface at delivery, too late
- Wedding-season enquiries drown the inbox exactly when you're shooting
What we'd build
Two pieces — take one, or join them
Each side is a separate engagement with its own scope and price. Plenty of clients start with one and add the other only when it earns its place.
PIECE A — THE WEBSITE
- A portfolio site that shows your best work by category — weddings, products, portraits
- Enquiry forms that capture the date, venue, and package interest up front
- Package pages with honest inclusions, so calls start half-decided
- Galleries that load fast and look right on every screen
PIECE B — THE OPERATIONS
- Instant date-availability replies with matching packages and a hold link
- Delivery pipelines — shoot, edit, review, deliver — with the client informed at each stage
- Advance and balance reminders tied to the booking and delivery dates
- Season enquiry triage so shooting days don't cost you bookings
Example workflows
Three we'd start with
Written the way we'd actually spec them — trigger, steps, outcome. Yours would be drafted from your operation, on the call.
WORKFLOW 01
The date answer
TRIGGER: ENQUIRY WITH AN EVENT DATE
- 01The date is checked against your booking calendar
- 02Available → packages and a hold link go out within the minute
- 03Booked → nearest open dates and a waitlist option are offered
The 'are you free?' question answers itself, even mid-shoot.
WORKFLOW 02
The delivery pipeline
TRIGGER: SHOOT MARKED COMPLETE
- 01Client is told the editing timeline upfront
- 02Each stage — selects, edits, album draft — triggers an update
- 03Final gallery link goes out only after the balance clears
Deliveries stop being chased, from either side.
WORKFLOW 03
The payment rhythm
TRIGGER: BOOKING CONFIRMED
- 01Advance reminder with the account details goes out same day
- 02Balance reminder lands before the delivery stage
- 03Receipts are sent automatically as payments arrive
The money conversation happens by message, on schedule.
Heard all day
The questions your customers repeat
A chatbot grounded in your own pages answers these in seconds, cites the source, and hands anything unusual to your team.
- “Are you available on the 14th? What do you charge?”
- “What's included — candid, traditional, video, drone?”
- “When will we get the photos and the album?”
- “Do you travel for destination shoots?”
- “Can we see a full wedding gallery, not just highlights?”
Drawn in ink
What stays human
Automation earns its keep on the repetitive work. These lines don't move — they're where your judgment and your relationships live.
01
The eye — shooting, selects, and the edit style are the product
02
Difficult conversations — a delayed album gets a personal call, not a status ping
03
The final delivery — checked by you before the gallery link releases
Fair questions
Asked by photography studios
I'm a one-person studio. Is this overkill?
It's the opposite — a one-person studio can't answer enquiries mid-shoot. Automation is the assistant you don't have to hire.
Can clients see their own delivery status?
They don't need to check — updates reach them at each stage. A status page can be added if you want one.
Wedding enquiries spike seasonally. Does that break anything?
No — the triage workflow exists exactly for that. Every enquiry gets an instant, accurate reply; you work the qualified list when you're back.
I shoot solo and edit at night. When do I manage this system?
You don't — that's the point. It answers dates, chases payments, and updates clients while you're behind the camera or the screen.
Can clients pick selects through this?
Galleries with selection built in slot straight into the delivery pipeline — client picks, you get the list, editing starts.
Do we have to take both the website and the automation?
No. Every service is scoped and sold separately — website only, automation only, or a single workflow to start. The two compound when joined, which is why the page shows both, but nothing requires buying both.
