Frequently Asked Questions
How does Wedding Desk help with my wedding?
Before the wedding, Wedding Desk brings the timeline, shots, gear and important client details into one clear plan, so you can see what is ready and what still needs attention.
On the wedding day, open that plan on your phone to see the current moment, what comes next and the shots to capture. If the day runs late, shift the timeline once and continue from the updated plan.
What are the different Wedding Desk plans?
Wedding Desk Go is version 1.0 and is available now. Prepare the timeline, shots and gear, use the same plan from your phone on the wedding day, and print or save it as a PDF.
Wedding Desk Solo will be version 2.0. It includes everything in Wedding Desk Go and also lets you collect answers from clients, keep contacts and locations together, see what still needs attention, and prepare the work you do after the wedding.
Wedding Desk Team will be version 3.0. It includes everything in Wedding Desk Solo and lets photographers, videographers and assistants work in the same wedding plan. You decide who can join and what each person can see or change.
Who is it built for?
Wedding Desk is built for wedding photographers and videographers who want to arrive well prepared, keep the wedding day clear and organised, and give their full attention to capturing the moments their clients are trusting them with.
Is Wedding Desk a CRM?
No. It can handle prices, quotes and invoices around a wedding, but it does not send contracts, collect signatures or chase new leads. Its job is to help you prepare each wedding, keep the plan close while you shoot, and track what is left before delivery.
How will pricing work?
Wedding Desk Go is planned at $19 per month, Wedding Desk Solo at $29, and Wedding Desk Team at $59. Annual billing gives one month free.
Do I have to stay subscribed between weddings?
No. Your projects stay saved when your subscription is paused, so you only pay for the months you actually use.
Can I use my own templates and workflow?
Yes. Start with a Wedding Desk Starter Template, adjust it to the way you work, and save your own reusable plan for future weddings. Timeline moments and Shot List items stay linked, so you do not have to rebuild the same preparation every time.
Can I print or export the wedding plan?
Yes. Every Wedding Desk plan includes private printing and PDF export. You can keep a copy of the wedding plan, print it when needed and use it outside Wedding Desk.
Can I use Wedding Desk on my phone?
Yes. Wedding Desk works in your browser on your phone, tablet and desktop, so you can use the same wedding plan wherever you are. A dedicated mobile app is planned soon.
How do I get access?
Wedding Desk Go is live in beta right now, and access is free. Send me a message through the contact form to request your account. Wedding Desk Go, version 1.0, is the first version available.
