Lauren Baker is a fine art wedding photographer serving Boston, New England, and available for destinations worldwide.
You’re working with a couple and you need to gather all of the information necessary in order to help them create their wedding photography timeline. But, you haven’t created a questionnaire that you can send them and it’s a month before their big day. Don’t panic, I’m here to help with my wedding photography questionnaire template!
Hey, I’m Lauren! I’m an award-winning, internationally published destination wedding photographer. Serving my clients and helping them plan their fun, romantic, stress-free wedding is the joy of my life. Over the last 13 years, I’ve had the honor of photographing countless weddings, engagements, and proposals.
Having a great client experience can literally make or break your business. And one thing that I’ve learned from my 13+ years in the wedding industry, is you don’t plan to fail, you fail to plan. That’s why I send all of my wedding clients a wedding photography questionnaire a few months before their wedding in order to tie up any loose ends that may exist.
My pre-wedding photography questionnaire, aside from being a handy way to gather lots of information, is the tool I use that helps me create my clients’ wedding photography timelines, create their family photo shot lists, educate my clients on flat lay florals, and how I gather vendor information. It’s probably the most important tool I have in my tool belt!
I’ve tweaked my questionnaire so many times over the years. When I wanted to make my questionnaire language more inclusive I edited my questionnaire. When I realized I wanted more information about my clients’ exact wants and expectations regarding portrait moments such as golden hour photos, I added more questions. And when I realized I could help my clients’ florists out by being another voice educating my clients about the cost of flat lay blooms, yup, you guessed it, I made changes to my questionnaire.
There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ve created one of the most detailed, thorough, and organized wedding photography questionnaires out there. And I’m making it available to you!
Elevate your client experience with this 10-page wedding photography questionnaire template. Designed in Google Docs, you can import the document into your CRM and send it to your couples before their wedding to tie up any loose ends.
Questions in the questionnaire are organized into handy categories such as Pre-Ceremony, Portraits, Ceremony, and Reception. You can add, take away, and change the language in the template to fit your unique brand voice.
My favorite, and most informative pages, are those relating to family photos. We’ve all been in the awkward situation when we’ve put divorced parents next to each other or made mobility-challenged individuals travel a far distance for family photos. Never again! I’ve learned that lesson the hard way and adjusted my wedding photography questionnaire so I never have to be in those sticky situations again. And when you buy my questionnaire template, you’ll never have to experience that kind of discomfort!
So what are you waiting for? Level up your client experience, and look like the expert that you are with my wedding photography questionnaire!
