Hold the date, sell the album
Take a booking fee that holds the Saturday, sign the contract online and sell albums and prints from the same client record weeks later.
No commission on new clients. No per client charges.
One monthly subscription. 2.5% + 35p only when you take a card payment.
Take the date off the market, and be paid for it
Enquiries land in a pipeline, the couple picks a package and the Saturday is held the moment the booking fee and the signed contract come back. The balance collects itself before the wedding rather than after the honeymoon.
No per client fees.
One subscription and 2.5% + 35p only when you take a card payment.
Set up in 2 minutes. No credit card required.
Booking fee, then the balance
A wedding date held for eighteen months and then cancelled is a Saturday you can never resell. Take a non-refundable booking fee that reflects that, collect the balance before the day and sell albums after it.
Contracts signed before the date is held.
One card rate of 2.5% plus 35p, with the platform fee inside it.
Set up in 2 minutes. No credit card required.
Engagement, wedding, then the christening
A photographer who shoots the engagement shoot has the wedding, and then the newborn and the family sessions after it. Keep the couple on file and get in touch at the moments that matter to them.
Unlimited client records.
Unlimited customer records on every plan, yours to export at any time.
Set up in 2 minutes. No credit card required.
Running a photographers business
A photographer sells a Saturday that cannot be resold. A wedding date held for eighteen months and then cancelled leaves nothing behind, and the season it sits in is short enough that nothing else takes its place.
What the booking fee is actually paying for
A non-refundable booking fee is not a gesture of goodwill. It buys the date off the market, which is the one thing in this trade that genuinely cannot be replaced.
Size it against how far ahead the date sits. Eighteen months of held Saturdays is worth protecting more heavily than a family session booked for a fortnight on Tuesday.
Get the contract signed before the date leaves the calendar rather than after. Weddings are the part of photography where the paperwork is read properly, usually by a mother of the bride.
The margin arrives after the shooting stops
Coverage pays for the day. Albums, wall prints, parent copies and extra hours are what turn a wedding from a fee into a proper job, and every one of them is sold in the weeks after the gallery goes out.
That window closes. A couple will spend on prints while the day is still recent and will not once the photographs have been sitting on Instagram for six months.
It only works if the gallery, the price list and the client record are still together when you come to ask. A folder on a hard drive is where print sales quietly go to die.
Where a UK wedding photographer's year sits
| Part of the year | What fills the diary | What should be selling |
|---|---|---|
| January to March | Enquiries from couples who got engaged over Christmas | Next season dates and engagement shoots |
| April to September | The wedding season, most Saturdays gone | Extra hours and second shooters |
| October to November | Family and newborn sessions | Albums and prints from the summer |
| December | Almost no shooting at all | Christmas print orders and deposits for next year |
The quiet months are when print income has to be worked rather than waited for, which is why the record matters more than the camera.
What a well run photography business does
- Takes a booking fee scaled to how far ahead the date sits
- Signs the contract before the Saturday leaves the calendar
- Collects the balance before the wedding, not after the honeymoon
- Keeps the gallery, the price list and the client record in one place
- Asks about albums and prints while the day is still recent
- Fills the winter with newborn and family sessions
- Prompts couples at anniversaries and when the first baby arrives
- Records which weddings sent the next enquiry
One couple, a decade of work
An engagement shoot becomes a wedding, then a newborn sitting, then a family session every other autumn. Very few trades get to bill the same two people across ten years of their life.
None of that happens by memory. The couple who booked you in 2019 will use whoever contacts them when the baby arrives, and that is a diary reminder rather than a marketing campaign.
