Chapter 2 — Inquiry Response — Turn Cold Leads Into Consultations
Prompt 6 The Warm Welcome Reply
The first reply to an inquiry decides more bookings than any portfolio. A slow, stiff, or template-sounding answer sends the couple to the next photographer on the list — usually before you've had a real exchange. This prompt drafts the reply a wedding photographer wants to send on a good day: warm, same-day, personal without being long. It opens with their date and venue, answers what they actually asked, and ends by proposing the consultation call as a next step — with availability. Run it per inquiry, edit one or two lines to your voice, and send it the same day you get the email.
