Vowdeck is the CRM that sells for you — not just files your paperwork. Move your whole history across in an afternoon, take payments with no card fees, and let an assistant that's right every time tell you the one thing to do next.
We're invite-only while we onboard our first photographers. The shoot is the easy part — everything else is about to get lighter.
Every other CRM makes you re-key years of weddings by hand, or lose them. Vowdeck moves your whole history — jobs, payments, contacts, even your documents — across in minutes. Then your couples pay by bank transfer, so the fees stay in your pocket, not a processor's.
The whole business — from first enquiry to delivered gallery — lives on one node per wedding. Each part load-bears the next. Nothing bolted on.
You name it. It reads the state of every wedding and surfaces the one thing to do next — confirm a payment, chase a contract, wish a couple happy anniversary. Smart tech, not AI. It doesn't guess.
Drop your Studio Ninja export and Vowdeck reconciles jobs, payments, contacts and PDF documents onto one tidy record per wedding. Read-only history stays quiet — no reminders fire on dead weddings.
Couples pay by bank transfer or open banking. You confirm with a thumb. No 1.5–3% skim on a £4,000 wedding — over a year that's a card-fee bill that pays for the software many times over.
Build a quote, the couple accepts, signs the contract right there with their finger, pays the deposit, then the balance — all on one page. The running balance keeps itself; you just confirm the money landed.
One durable link, no login. Shows where they are, what's next, and the gallery finish line. They can message you and request a call from it — so the relationship stops getting lost in email.
Seeded with your real words, fired on your timing — counting down to the day or out from the booking. The assistant sends the automatic ones and asks you before the delicate ones. Reply right in the thread.
One beautiful question at a time — not a wall of fields. Photo upload, love-story line, the details you need for the day. Answers land straight on the wedding and light up the rest of the app.
Flags a double-booking before you reply to an enquiry, and pushes every booking to Google, Apple or Outlook. It even knows the days you're shooting for another photographer.
Model the venues and agencies that pay for many weddings. Roll up their lifetime value, and send one consolidated invoice across several jobs — something the big CRMs simply can't do.
First-class invoices with their own numbering, a hosted pay-page for the client, PDF-by-email, and VAT when you need it. The assistant even drafts them for you when a job's been shot but not billed.
Offer album upgrades and faster delivery right on the couple's page — only the extras you curated for them. They tap, you approve, and it bills itself. Your CRM earning its keep instead of just filing it.
No lock-in, ever. One-tap export to CSV and JSON sits right next to the import wizard. We earn your stay every month — we never hold your business hostage to keep it.
The big names — HoneyBook, Dubsado, 17hats, Studio Ninja — were built for everyone, so they fit no-one. Here's the difference where it counts.
| vowdeck. | A generic CRM | |
|---|---|---|
| Moving your history in | Minutes — self-serve, in-app | Re-key it by hand, or lose it |
| Payment & card fees | £0 — bank transfer & open banking | 1.5–3% skimmed off every booking |
| Built for | Wedding photographers, only | Everyone — so it fits no-one |
| The assistant | Right every time — deterministic, no guessing | Automations you wire & babysit |
| What it actually does | Sells for you — upsells & faster delivery | Files your paperwork |
| The couple's portal | Two-way — they message & book calls | A one-way document drop |
| Venue & B2B billing | Consolidated invoices across weddings | Not modelled at all |
| Your data | Yours — one-tap export, no lock-in | Held hostage to keep you paying |
"It's right every time — because it isn't guessing."
Not here yet — and we'll tell you the day each one lands. We don't ship guesses, and we don't pad a page with promises.
Every enquiry, from any website or tool you use, straight into Vowdeck at the right place — no Zapier middleman required.
Vowdeck will speak MCP, so you can point Claude — or any assistant you like — at your studio to read and act, on your terms. The brain stays yours; we're the hands.
Your booked timeline flows into Group Shot Star, our day-of group-shot tool — so the planning you've already done runs the day itself.
We build the chapel before the cathedral. Core first, always.
We're hand-onboarding our founding photographers. Leave your email and we'll be in touch when there's a place for you.
Thank you — we'll email you the moment there's a place. The shoot's the easy part; the rest is about to get lighter.
