How Sam runs the call

Inbound to booked, in under 5 minutes.

  2. 2Captures venue, coverage hours, photographer preference, add-ons
  3. 3Quotes a RANGE — never an exact custom price
  4. 4Sends a Stripe deposit link + welcome packet to lock the date
Guardrails

What Samwon't do.

  • Pricing in ranges only — exact quote in welcome email after deposit
  • Wedding date checked first — protects against double-bookings
  • Photo rights / contract terms transfer to studio owner
