Built for your trade
For photographers: enquiries answered between shoots.
Wedding season means shooting all weekend and editing all week — exactly when enquiries need answering and invoices need chasing. We build the admin that runs while you’re behind the camera, and we run a photography-business platform ourselves.
The first problem
Enquiries compete with editing time
Every hour replying is an hour not delivering galleries. Considered replies that go out instantly — with your packages and real availability — win bookings without costing edits.
The second
Feast-and-famine cashflow
Booked in May, paid in September. Deposits on booking and automatic balance reminders smooth the year without a single awkward email written by you.
The third
Mini-sessions are a spreadsheet nightmare
Twenty slots, one Saturday, deposits per slot: exactly what a booking flow does brilliantly and a DM inbox does catastrophically.
What we build for this trade
A portfolio site that loads fast enough to do your images justice, package-aware enquiry forms, deposits and contracts in one flow, mini-session slot booking, and balance chasing that stays polite for you.
Why believe us
Shoot Planner — one of the three brands running on our Gig Nest platform — is this exact toolset, live for working photographers.
Questions from your trade
Will a fast site compress my photos to mush?
No — modern formats serve full-quality images at a fraction of the weight. Fast and beautiful stopped being a trade-off years ago; heavy templates just never told you.
Can clients book and pay for mini-session slots themselves?
Yes — slots, per-slot deposits, confirmations and reminders all self-serve, which is the difference between a fun Saturday and forty DMs.
Do you integrate with gallery services?
Yes — the site and booking flow sit alongside whatever delivery service you already use rather than replacing it.
