Every weekend, at a glance.
See every inquiry and booked wedding on one beautiful weekend calendar — and let warm, personal follow-ups send themselves.
Your whole season, finally in one place.
No more cross-checking spreadsheets, inboxes and your phone's calendar to answer “am I free that Saturday?”
A calendar built around weekends
Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday as a little bubble. Each couple gets their own color — warm for inquiries, cool for booked — so a date with three inquiries shows three colors. Flip to full week for engagement shoots.
Follow-ups that send themselves
30-day check-ins, shoot reminders, review requests — on autopilot, or waiting for your OK. Your call, per message.
Every couple, one card
Names, date, venue, package, budget, video, and their engagement shoot — entered once, shown everywhere in their color.
A home screen that tells you what's next
New inquiries, dates people are competing for, and every message about to go out — with Read and Don't send.
Syncs to your phone's calendar
Booked weddings and shoots show up in Apple or Google Calendar, with venue and package in the notes.
Sound like you, even when you're shooting.
Start from a library of ready-made messages, or build your own: pick when, who, and any conditions. Then choose whether each one sends automatically or waits for a quick look.
- Smart conditions — offer video only if they don't have it and your team is free that day
- Replies come back to your inbox
- See everything going out this week — and stop any of it
See what's booked — and what's possible.
Every month shows booked value next to potential from open inquiries. Potential counts one wedding per date, so three couples chasing the same Saturday don't inflate your forecast.
- Warns you before you double-book a date
- Shows where your couples find you
Set up in an afternoon.

Sending
Questions, answered.
Do my clients' emails come from Booking Buddy?
Automatic email is sent for you and replies are directed back to your address. Until that's turned on, or any time you prefer, messages open in your own Mail or Messages app, ready to send with one tap.
Can I check messages before they go out?
Yes. Every automation has a switch: “Send automatically” or “Ask me first.” Either way, your Home screen lists everything going out in the next week so you can read it or stop it.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — it's designed phone-first, with a bottom tab bar and big tap targets. You can add it to your iPhone home screen from Safari's Share menu.
What if I already use another CRM?
Booking Buddy focuses on the two things photographers check most: which weekends are taken, and who needs a reply. Many people use it alongside their contracts and invoicing tool. If you want something it doesn't do yet, let us know — write to help@bookingbuddy.io.
Can I get my data out?
Anytime. Export a full backup from Settings. Your account is stored for you, so the same couples show up on your phone and your laptop.
