The bottleneck

What slows teams down today.

01 ◆

You answer the same five questions over email for every wedding inquiry. Calculator answers them on the page in 60 seconds.

02 ◆

Add-ons (engagement shoot, second shooter, album, prints, drone, sneak peek) are buried in PDFs. Showing them with prices live converts upsell.

03 ◆

"Is my date open?" is the #1 question. Calculator answers it without an email.

04 ◆

Travel fees vary by distance. Customers ghost when "we'll calculate travel and get back to you" surfaces after the price.

05 ◆

Wedding budget filtering — many inquiries are out-of-budget. Calculator self-filters.

FAQ

Photographer calculator FAQs.

No fluff — the specifics buyers want before booking a call. If yours isn't here, ask on the call.

Will this work with Honeybook / Dubsado / Studio Ninja?

Yes — direct integrations with Honeybook (via their API), Dubsado (via their workflow webhooks), Studio Ninja (via their REST API), and 17hats (via webhook). Lead lands as a project with the calculator data attached, ready for your contract template.

Can it take the retainer at booking?

Yes — Stripe retainer at the last step (configurable amount, typically 25-50% of total or a flat $500-$1,000 retainer). Calendar blocks on payment success. Most photographers see retainer collection move from a 3-day email cycle to instant.

How does the travel fee work?

Customer enters event ZIP. Calculator computes distance from your studio via Google Maps Distance Matrix. Travel fee = base + per-mile (configurable, e.g. $50 + $0.65/mile after 30 miles). For destination weddings (>500 miles), branches to "destination quote — let's talk" instead of a number.

Will it filter out low-budget inquiries?

Yes — by design. The price is shown before contact info is requested, so prospects out of budget self-select out. Photographers commonly report 60-80% reduction in low-quality inquiries after launch.
