Create a complete wedding package

By the end of this guide, you'll have...

A polished, professional wedding photography package that bundles your services, includes a detailed contract with timeline, defines deliverables, and makes it easy for couples to book and pay — all built and managed within creavio.

What you'll need

• Your wedding photography pricing finalized
• A list of what's included in each package tier
• Your wedding contract terms (cancellation, rescheduling, usage rights)
• An understanding of your typical wedding day timeline

Step-by-step walkthrough

1. Define your package tiers — Most wedding photographers offer 2-3 tiers. Plan what each includes: hours of coverage, number of edited images, second shooter, engagement session, album, prints. Write this out before building anything in creavio.
2. Create services for each tier — Go to Services and create a service for each package. Example: "Gold Collection — 8 Hours" at $4,500 with a detailed description listing every deliverable. Be specific — couples compare packages line by line.
3. Build your wedding contract template — In Contracts → Templates, create a wedding-specific template. Include sections for: coverage hours, deliverable timeline (e.g., "gallery delivered within 6-8 weeks"), usage rights, cancellation and rescheduling policies, force majeure, and meal provision requirements.
4. Add timeline details to the contract — Include a section where you outline the expected wedding day timeline: getting ready, first look, ceremony, family formals, cocktail hour, reception, exits. This sets expectations and reduces day-of confusion.
5. Set up your payment structure — Wedding packages typically require a deposit to book. Configure your invoice to split payments: 30% retainer upon signing, 30% one month before the wedding, and 40% before gallery delivery. Set these milestones when creating invoices.
6. Link the contract to your services — Assign your wedding contract template to each wedding service. When you create a wedding booking, the correct contract auto-populates with the client and package details.
7. Create a booking for the couple — Add the couple as a client, create a deal in your pipeline, then build the booking. Select their chosen package, set the wedding date, and add the venue in the notes.
8. Send the contract and deposit invoice — From the booking, send the auto-generated contract for e-signature along with the deposit invoice. The couple can review, sign, and pay in one smooth experience.
9. Plan your collection in advance — After the wedding, create the collection with sections matching the day: Getting Ready, Ceremony, Portraits, Reception. Having the structure ready means faster delivery after editing.
10. Deliver and follow up — Share the collection, track which images the couple favorites, and use those selections for album design. Send the final invoice for the remaining balance before album production.

Pro tips

• Offer an add-on service for engagement sessions. Create it as a separate service and link it to the same client and deal.
• Use deal notes to track wedding details: venue, coordinator contact, timeline, shot list requests. Everything in one place.
• Create a "Day After" follow-up task to send a thank-you message and a sneak peek of 5-10 images. This drives word-of-mouth referrals.
