A wedding photographer's website should show full weddings, not just highlights, so a couple can see how you photograph a whole day. Next to the galleries, it needs your packages or a starting price, where you work, how to check your availability for their date and an enquiry form that asks for the date and venue. Couples choose a wedding photographer mainly from the galleries, then check price and availability before they write.
Most couples are planning a wedding for the first time. They are comparing several photographers, often sharing links with a partner, and they want to feel sure about one of the biggest purchases of the day.
What do couples check on a wedding photographer's website?
In roughly this order:
- The style. Do the photos look like the wedding they want?
- Full weddings. Does the photographer deliver a consistent story across a whole day, including family groups and the evening?
- Price. Packages, or at least a starting price.
- Availability. Are you free on their date, and do you travel to their venue?
- Who you are. Couples will spend the whole day with you.
- Reviews. What other couples said.
- How to book. What happens after they enquire.
Should you show highlights or full weddings?
Both. A short selection of strong images sets your style on the home page. Then give several weddings their own pages, each with a full set of images that follow the day: preparation, ceremony, portraits, family groups, details, speeches and the evening. Couples want to see that you handle difficult light, large groups and the parts of the day that are not glamorous.
Name the venue and season on each wedding page, with the couple's permission. People search for photographers who have worked at their venue, and venue names help both search engines and AI assistants match you to those searches.
Should wedding photographers show prices?
Many couples will not enquire without a sense of cost. Options include:
| Approach | What it looks like |
|---|
| Full packages | Hours of coverage, second photographer, number of images, album, price |
| Starting price | "Full-day coverage from [price]" with a note on what changes it |
| Price guide on request | A downloadable or emailed guide after an enquiry |
Showing at least a starting price filters out enquiries outside your range and saves both sides time. Date your prices and update them each season. For a wider look at this decision, see should you show prices on your website?.
How should availability and location be handled?
State where you are based and where you travel, and whether travel costs extra. Ask for the wedding date at the top of the enquiry form so you can reply quickly. Some photographers note which months or years are already booking up; only say so if it is true.
What belongs in the About section?
Couples are choosing a person. Show a photo of you, a few lines about how you work on the day and how long you have photographed weddings. If you work with a second photographer, introduce them.
How should reviews be used?
Ask couples for a review when you deliver the gallery. Show reviews with the couple's first names and venue, with permission, and link to independent reviews where you have them. Do not write or edit reviews. See how to show customer reviews honestly.
What should the enquiry form ask?
- Names and email
- Wedding date
- Venue or location
- Approximate number of guests
- Coverage they are considering
- How they found you
Reply quickly. Couples often enquire with several photographers at once.
What should happen after a couple enquires?
Say on the site what the next steps are: a reply with availability and your price guide, a call or meeting, then a contract and booking fee to secure the date. Explain when the balance is due and when couples receive their photos. A clear process reassures couples who have never booked a photographer before.
Which template suits a wedding photographer?
There is no getsites template built only for wedding photography, and our wedding photographers page says so. Two templates suit it well:
- Still (free) is a portfolio template for film photographers and visual artists, with a contact-sheet gallery system, a photo archive on the CMS, editorial type and 13 designed pages. Each wedding can be an archive entry.
- Atrium ($49) shows work in a scroll-driven gallery with wall labels and a click-to-open lightbox that shows every image full screen, with Works and Journal collections on the CMS.
Add a packages section and connect the contact form before you publish. See also photography portfolio ideas beyond the grid and the best Framer templates for photographers.

Frequently asked questions
What should a wedding photography website include?
Highlights that show your style, several full weddings, packages or a starting price, where you work, an about section, reviews from couples and an enquiry form that asks for the date and venue.
How many photos should a wedding gallery on my website have?
Enough to show the whole day without repetition: preparation, ceremony, portraits, family groups, details, speeches and the evening. Choose consistent images rather than every good frame.
Should I name venues on my wedding photography website?
With the couple's permission, yes. Couples often search for photographers who have worked at their venue, and venue names help your pages appear for those searches.
Do I need a blog as a wedding photographer?
Not necessarily. Separate pages for each wedding, with the venue, season and a short description, often do the same job. A journal is useful if you will keep it updated.
Should a wedding photographer put prices on their website?
Showing at least a starting price helps couples decide whether to enquire and saves you time. Some photographers share full packages, others send a guide after the first message.
