Client intake

It all starts with the intake.

Building the shot list and timeline is where photographers lose the most time. Wedding Desk takes that hard part off your plate. Your intake becomes the basis for both.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Wedding Desk?

Wedding Desk is a wedding-day workspace for wedding photographers and videographers. It brings intake details, timelines, shot lists, notes, day-of contacts, gear prep, delivery prep and On The Day into one place.

Who is it built for?

The first version is built for wedding photographers and videographers who need one connected workspace for the wedding day. Dedicated video tools, such as audio templates and video-only workflows, come in a later version.

What does it help with before the wedding day?

It turns scattered prep into one working plan. Instead of rebuilding the same details across forms, documents, spreadsheets and notes, you keep the timeline, shots, gear and contacts connected and see what still needs attention before the day arrives.

What does it help with on the wedding day?

It makes the day faster and clearer to work through. When the day runs late, you shift the timeline and everything moves with it. Day-of contacts, shot priorities and the next important moment stay close at hand. On The Day remains useful while everything is moving, instead of becoming a document you only prepared beforehand.

Can I use it on the wedding day?

Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. On The Day puts the timeline, day-of contacts, shot priorities and last-minute changes on one screen that works on your phone or tablet. Prepare on your desktop, run the day from your pocket.

Is Wedding Desk a CRM?

No, and it is not going to become one. Wedding Desk is not software for organizing the wedding. It is a workspace for preparing the wedding day and carrying the important details into the actual work. Later versions may support more studio-side work, but always in service of the wedding project, never as a generic business suite.

How will pricing work?

Wedding Desk offers two straightforward plans: Wedding Desk Solo at $29 per month, and Wedding Desk Team at $39 per month once it arrives with version 2. Both are a single monthly price with everything included, and you can cancel any month. Wedding Desk is currently in alpha; there is no subscription during alpha and access is limited to a very small invited test group. The pricing page has the full breakdown.

What is Wedding Desk Solo?

Wedding Desk Solo is for photographers and videographers who run the wedding day on their own. It includes the personal planning and day-of tools they need, without team collaboration or communication features.

What is Wedding Desk Team?

Wedding Desk Team is the planned second version for photographers, videographers and assistants who work together on the same wedding. It will add shared project access, role-based views, live collaboration and communication workflows for the crew and, where appropriate, vendors and the couple. Solo can store those people as project contacts, but does not give them collaborative access.

Will there be a mobile app?

Wedding Desk runs in the browser and already works on desktop, laptop, tablet and phone with one login. Prepare on the big screen, check the timeline from your pocket, same project. A dedicated native app comes later.

Is Wedding Desk in alpha?

Yes. Wedding Desk is in alpha: important workflows are still incomplete, the product changes quickly and it is not ready to be relied on for a full wedding. Only a very small invited group may test it during this phase. A broader, more usable beta comes later.

How do I get access?

Join the beta access list for product updates and an invitation when the beta opens. The beta has not started yet, and signing up does not guarantee access. During alpha I may separately invite a very small number of photographers or videographers for focused testing.
