Wedding Photographer Virtual Assistant
Wedding photographers sell a date once, and couples tend to book whoever replies first and sounds right. You're often away shooting on the days when inquiries come in, and then a full weekend of images lands on your desk.
A wedding photographer virtual assistant keeps the studio moving: fast inquiry replies, couples kept informed, and galleries delivered on time.
What your VA takes on
- Inquiries: replying quickly from your templates and booking consults.
- Booking: sending proposals and contracts, and following up on retainers.
- Planning: questionnaires, shot lists and timelines with your couples.
- Vendors: confirming details with planners and venues.
- Post-production: culling, syncing and uploading, with editing to your style if that's in the role.
- After the wedding: gallery delivery, album choices, reviews and blog drafts.
A typical week
- Daily: inquiries and client messages.
- Monday: weekend upload and sneak peek queue.
- Wednesday: upcoming wedding questionnaires.
- Friday: this weekend's timeline, contacts and shot list.
Tools they work in
- Studio management: HoneyBook, Dubsado, Táve
- Galleries: Pic-Time, Pixieset, ShootProof
- Editing: Lightroom, Aftershoot, Narrative
The bright line
You own the creative decisions, pricing and contract terms. Your VA doesn't change your contract wording, promise dates you haven't approved, or speak for you in a dispute.

Signs it is time
- Inquiries wait until Monday.
- Galleries run late in peak season.
- Questionnaires go missing.
- You've stopped blogging your weddings.
