The 2026-27 Season, In Numbers
The verified wedding market, the muhurat calendar and your pitch window, where bookings actually come from, and the five leaks that cost you bookings.
Enquiries & First Reply
Prompts 1-12 — the 5-minute reply, Instagram DMs, the "price?" message, booked dates, destination and NRI couples, and the follow-up that revives a cold enquiry.
Qualification & Consultation
Prompts 13-22 — a 10-minute qualification script, pre-consultation questionnaire, delivery-expectation setting and how to handle "we are comparing three photographers".
Proposals, Quotes & Packages
Prompts 23-36 — the full proposal, three-tier packages, per-function pricing, add-on menu, payment and GST clauses, rescheduling terms and a usage-rights consent clause.
Follow-Up & Negotiation
Prompts 37-48 — a follow-up sequence, and calm replies to price pushback, scope creep, pending advances and the couple negotiating hard.
Client Experience & Logistics
Prompts 49-62 — pre-wedding questionnaire, per-function shot lists, the family group-photo plan, crew briefings, day-before reminders and a consent message.
The Instagram Content Engine
Prompts 63-78 — a 30-day calendar, reel scripts, before/after edits, local hashtags, a Google Business post and turning one wedding into 20 pieces of content.
Pricing & Business
Prompts 79-90 — raising rates, package naming, a reels retainer, a planner referral programme, a cost-per-wedding worksheet and peak-season capacity planning.
Delivery, Reviews & Referrals
Prompts 91-100 — preview and gallery delivery, album proofing, pre-empting "where are our photos?", review and referral asks, and the final-payment follow-up.
The 30-Day Season Ramp-Up Plan
A day-by-day plan to have your whole system ready before the 21 November 2026 season reopens — plus five appendices: the muhurat dates, GST quick reference, package sheet, consent checklist and the full prompt index.
