Chapter 8 — Post-Wedding Delivery Email — Boost the Client Experience
Prompt 25 The "Your Sneak Peek Is Ready" Email
Couples want to share photographs within days, not weeks — and the sneak peek is the bridge that keeps that energy alive while you edit. Done well, it sends traffic straight back to you: the couple posts, their guests ask who shot it, the venue sees the frame. This prompt drafts the announcement that does exactly that. A wedding photographer gets a short, energetic message with the curated set, an explicit permission-to-share line, a tag-and-credit request, and the timeline for the full gallery so expectations stay set. The language matches the photos: fast, warm, worth sharing.
- Use this when editing is taking longer than your stated turnaround time.
- A single sneak peek can prevent "where are my photos?" emails while you finish the full set.
An email that feels like unwrapping a gift, not a delay notification.
