Wednesday, June 28, 2023 | By: Tanya Surjan

How to Create the Ultimate Wedding Photography Welcome Packet

As a family photographer, it's important to provide your clients with all the information they need to make their photography experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. This is where a comprehensive welcome & information guide comes in. Your guide should include all the key components that your clients need to know before their session. This includes details about the location, what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect during the session. By providing your clients with a comprehensive guide, you can help them feel more comfortable and confident during their session, which will ultimately result in better photos and a more positive experience overall. Now let’s talk about what this guide should include:

1. Wedding Cover Page
Start with an eye-catching cover page that sets the tone for your welcome guide. Use an image of your work or your logo to make a strong first impression.
 
2. What to Expect Page
Provide an overview of what your clients can expect from working with you. Explain your approach and client experience to give them an idea of what they can look forward to.
 
3. Photography Experience
Highlight your photography experience and what sets you apart from other wedding photographers. Share your background and expertise to make clients feel confident in your skills.
 
4. Wedding Photography Packages
Outline your wedding photography packages. Include details about the services you offer, the number of hours of coverage, and the number of images included.
 
5. A La Carte Pricing Information
Provide clients with information about your a la carte pricing options. This should include pricing for additional hours, prints, and digital files.
 
6. Albums & Save the Dates Pricing
Include pricing for any albums or save the dates that you offer. This will help clients visualize how they can turn their images into keepsakes they can treasure for years to come.
 
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Answer some common questions that clients might have. For example, you could address questions about your payment process, turnaround time for images, or what to wear for engagement photos.
 
8. Timeline Preparation
Provide tips for your clients to prepare for their wedding day timeline. This can include suggested timelines for getting ready, family photos, and portraits.
 
9. First Look Information
Explain the benefits of a first look and provide examples of how this can create more photo opportunities and a better photography experience for the couple.
 
10. Wedding Day Timeline Template
Provide a timeline template for your clients to fill out with all the details of their wedding day. This will help you stay on track and ensure you don't miss any important moments.
 
11. Client Invoice
Include a client invoice template to make your billing process simple and straightforward.
 
12. Thank You Page
Thank your clients for choosing you as their wedding photographer and express your excitement for their big day. This will make your clients feel appreciated and valued.

By including these 12 essentials in your wedding photographer welcome guide, you'll ensure that your clients feel well prepared and confident when their wedding day comes. Not only will this guide streamline your process, but it can also help boost your reputation as a professional photographer with a recognizable brand.

There are SO many incredible benefits to having a welcome packet…

Sending out a strategic and beautifully branded photographer welcome packet to your just-booked clients provides countless benefits to them and you, such as:

  • Laying out clear boundaries and answering frequently asked questions right away on what’s to come as the project progresses.
  • Building solid client relationships and deepened connections from the start, helping your client feel assured in their decision to hire you. 

In conclusion, a comprehensive welcome & information guide is essential for any wedding photography business. By including these key components, you can help ensure that your clients feel informed, prepared, and excited for their upcoming session.
