The problem

You can't answer the phone when you are behind the camera

When you are photographing a wedding ceremony, directing a family portrait, or mid-way through a commercial shoot with studio lights set up, you cannot pick up the phone. But the couple who just got engaged and want to book their wedding photographer are not going to leave a voicemail. They are calling the next photographer on the list.

  • 74% of people calling a photographer won't leave a voicemail
  • Couples and clients call 2-3 photographers and book whoever answers first
  • That adds up to 4-8 lost bookings per month
  • A wedding photography package is worth £3,500+ per booking
