Pick your coverage, toggle the sections you actually need, and build a clean questionnaire to send your couple. Copy it or download it — free, no signup.
quolby's booking page collects a couple's date, venue, style and details for you automatically — no form to send, chase or re-type. It flows straight into your quote and booking.
A good client questionnaire does two jobs: it makes couples feel looked after, and it saves you from surprises on the day. Send it once the booking is confirmed so nothing important gets decided without you — the timeline, the family groupings, the must-have shots. Then revisit it a few weeks out, when venues and vendors are locked in.
Keep it human. A wall of forty questions reads like paperwork; a focused list that clearly matters reads like care. That's why this tool lets you switch off whole sections — an engagement session doesn't need a reception timeline, and an elopement rarely needs a twelve-group family list. Send only what's relevant.
Timeline is where most missed shots come from — a first look nobody told you about, a sunset that closed the window for portraits. Key people & the family-photo list spares you shouting names during cocktail hour; ask couples to write the groupings out in advance. Must-have shots surfaces the heirloom, the private letter, the shot they'd grieve to miss. Venue & lighting lets you plan for dark churches and wet-weather plans before you arrive. Vendor contacts keeps you coordinated with the planner and videographer. And access & special needs is simple respect — mobility, customs, and the guests who'd rather not be photographed.
When you're ready to turn all this into a booking, see how to send a wedding photography quote and how to collect the deposit that locks the date.
Most photographers send it once the booking is confirmed, then again a few weeks before the day when the timeline and family list are settled. Early is kinder — it gives couples time to gather names and vendor contacts without pressure.
The essentials (names, date, contact), the timeline, a key-people and family-photo list, must-have shots, venue and lighting notes, vendor contacts, and any access or special needs. Only include the sections that fit your coverage — this tool lets you toggle each one.
Yes. Building, copying and downloading the questionnaire is free and needs no signup. It assembles standard questions from the choices you make and invents no data about you or your couples.
Start with the essentials — full names, the date, and the best contact for the day — then the running order, a family-photo list, must-have shots, venue and lighting notes, vendor contacts, and any access or special needs. Only send the sections that fit your coverage; an engagement shoot rarely needs a reception timeline. The generator above assembles a tailored list you can copy or download in seconds, free and with no signup.
A questionnaire gathers preferences and logistics; it isn't a booking. Your quote sets the price and coverage, and the contract makes it binding with a signature and deposit — here's how to send a wedding photography quote. Keep the two separate so planning never tangles with the money. quolby bundles the paid side into one link: an e-signed contract and a deposit paid into your own Stripe at a 0% platform fee, so quolby never holds the funds.
Collect the deposit first. A signed contract and a paid deposit are what reserve the date, while the questionnaire is planning that follows once you're booked — see how to collect a wedding photography deposit. With quolby the deposit is a direct Stripe charge into the photographer's own account at a 0% platform fee; Stripe's usual card fee still applies, so the money is never held by a middleman.
Keep it short and clearly relevant — a focused list reads like care, while a wall of forty questions reads like homework. Switch off the sections that don't apply, send it soon after booking, and give a gentle reason for each ask, like planning around your family groupings. A quick nudge a few weeks before the day, once the timeline is set, usually brings in the last details without chasing.
The generator makes a questionnaire you send and collect yourself — great if you already have a workflow. If you'd rather not send, chase or re-type a form, quolby's booking page gathers the couple's date, venue, style and details and flows them into the quote and booking. It's free to start, €15/mo for Pro, with a no-signup builder at /try — or try the free quote maker first.
Yes, but a lighter one. An engagement session mainly needs the location, timing, any outfit changes and the look you're after; an elopement needs the ceremony spot, any permits, who's attending, and the few frames that matter most. Neither needs a twelve-group family list or a full reception timeline. Pick that coverage type in the tool above and it swaps in the right questions and hides the ones that don't apply.
