Step 1 · Website Checklist

What do you need for a photographer website?

Your website needs four kinds of content, plus hosting. Open each list and tick what you have ready.

Why should couples book your studio?

  • 1. Write a clear headline

    Say what you shoot and where, in one line, like “Candid weddings and pre-wedding shoots across Jodhpur's forts and havelis”. Put a Check My Date button beside it.

    Checklist

    See our AI Website Builder

  • 2. Show what makes you different

    Give 3 reasons near the top: you shoot at golden hour on the Mehrangarh ramparts, albums reach families in 6 weeks, or a cinematic film team comes with every wedding.

    Checklist

  • 3. Write your About section

    Say who you are, when you picked up a camera and how you work on the day. Couples want to know the person who will stand beside them at the pheras.

    Checklist

  • 4. Show your numbers

    Share counts you can back up: weddings shot, years in Jodhpur, cities you have travelled to and how many albums you deliver a year.

    Checklist

  • 5. Use a logo and studio colours

    A simple signature logo works as a watermark too. Keep it small and clean so it never hides the picture.

    Checklist

    See our Business Logo Maker

What shoots do you offer?

  • 1. List your packages and prices

    Give each package a starting price and what it covers, like wedding coverage for 2 days from ₹1.2 lakh, or a pre-wedding shoot from ₹35,000. Say how many photographers come.

    Checklist

    See our AI Website Editor

  • 2. Add a gallery for each shoot

    Give weddings, pre-wedding, maternity, newborn and portraits a gallery each. Show 20 to 30 of your best frames, not 300.

    Checklist

  • 3. Show your shoot locations

    List the places you shoot, like Mehrangarh, Umaid Bhawan, Jaswant Thada and the blue lanes of the old city, with the best time of day and any entry permission needed.

    Checklist

  • 4. Explain what you deliver and when

    Say what reaches the couple and how long it takes, like a sneak peek in 3 days, edited photos in 3 weeks and the album in 6 weeks.

    Checklist

  • 5. Add your payment options

    Let couples pay the booking advance by UPI to hold their date. Show how the rest is split, like 30% to book, 50% on the wedding day and 20% on album delivery.

    Checklist

    See our UPI Payments on Website

How can couples trust you?

  • 1. Show full wedding stories

    Add one page for each full wedding, from haldi to vidaai, shared with the couple's consent. Couples want to see a whole day, not only your best 10 frames.

    Checklist

    See our AI Website Editor

  • 2. Show reviews from couples

    Add 3 to 5 real reviews that say what you did well, like “they caught Dadi's tears at the vidaai”. Use first names, with consent, and link to your Google reviews.

    Checklist

  • 3. Say who owns the photos

    Write in your terms who owns the photos and how you may use them, like on your website and Instagram. Couples ask this before they sign.

    Checklist

  • 4. Show your drone and gear details

    If you shoot with a drone, say it is registered and flown by a certified pilot. List backup cameras and memory cards so families know nothing is lost.

    Checklist

  • 5. Answer common questions

    Answer what couples ask first: “How early should we book for a December wedding?”, “Do you travel for a destination wedding?”, “Can we get the raw photos?”. Clear answers also help Google and AI assistants describe you.

    Checklist

    See our Automatic Website SEO

How can couples reach you?

  • 1. Add a date check form

    A Check My Date button on every page. Ask for the event, the date, the venue and the city, and which functions they want covered.

    Checklist

    See our Leads, Orders & Appointments

  • 2. Add phone, WhatsApp and email

    Show your phone, WhatsApp and email at the top and bottom of every page. Couples send their venue and outfit ideas on WhatsApp.

    Checklist

  • 3. Clearly show your location

    Add your studio address in Sardarpura, a landmark and a Google Map, so families can come in to see sample albums before they book.

    Checklist

  • 4. Add your studio hours and dates

    Show when the studio is open for album viewing, and which wedding season dates are still open. Update it as November to February fills up.

    Checklist

  • 5. Add your social media links

    Link your Instagram, YouTube and Facebook in the menu or the footer. Couples scroll your reels before they ever call.

    Checklist

  • 6. Offer your website in local languages

    Show your packages and delivery times in Hindi as well as English, so parents and grandparents can read them too. Add Gujarati or Punjabi if many couples come from there.

    Checklist

    See our Multi-language Website

How to host and maintain your website?

  • 1. Choose a domain name

    This is your website address, like goldenhourstudios.in. Use your studio name, and add “photography” or “jodhpur” if the name is taken.

    Checklist

    See our Domain Name Generator

  • 2. Put your website on hosting

    Hosting keeps your website online, so a couple in Bengaluru can check your date at midnight.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 3. Turn on SSL

    SSL puts a lock next to your web address and keeps wedding dates, venues and phone numbers safe when couples send them.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 4. Make your website open fast (CDN)

    A CDN keeps copies of your website in many cities, so big galleries open fast on a phone in Jodhpur, Mumbai or Dubai.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 5. Keep backups of your website

    A backup is a saved copy of your website, made every day, so your galleries and wedding stories are never lost.

    Checklist

    See our Website Hosting & SSL

  • 6. Keep your website up to date

    Mark dates as booked, add the latest wedding story and change package prices before the season. Pick a website you can edit from your phone.

Step 5 · Online Rules

Online rules to know

A photographer holds client photos, family details and wedding dates, and some shoots use drones. Follow these rules on your website and at every shoot.Reviewed November 2026. We check these every year. This is a guide, not legal advice.

  • Get consent for client details and photos

    All businesses

    Tell clients why you need their phone, address and wedding dates, and get their consent. Ask before you post a couple's or a baby's photos, and take them down if the client asks.

    Rule: Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

  • Show only your own work and honest prices

    All businesses

    Post only photos your studio shot, and say what a package includes, the delivery time and whether travel or GST is extra. Never claim to be “Jodhpur's No. 1 photographer”.

    Rule: Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and CCPA Guidelines on Misleading Advertisements, 2022

  • Agree in writing who owns the photos

    Photographer

    When a client pays you to take photos, the client is the first owner of the copyright unless you agree otherwise. Put ownership and your right to use the photos in your portfolio in your contract.

    Rule: Copyright Act, 1957

  • Register your drone and check the zone

    Photographer

    Drones over 250 g need a unique ID on DigitalSky, and a paid shoot needs a pilot with a Remote Pilot Certificate. Check the airspace map before each flight, as yellow and red zones near airports need permission.

    Rule: Drone Rules, 2021

FAQs

Photographer website FAQs

Who owns the wedding photos, the couple or the photographer?

When a client pays you to take photos, the client is the first owner of the copyright unless you agree otherwise. This comes from the Copyright Act, 1957. Write in your contract who owns the photos and that you may show them on your website and Instagram.

Do I need a licence to fly a drone at a wedding shoot?

Drones over 250 g need a unique ID on DigitalSky, and a paid shoot needs a pilot with a Remote Pilot Certificate. Check the airspace map before each flight, as yellow and red zones near airports need permission. This comes from the Drone Rules, 2021.

Which galleries should a photographer show first?

Lead with a full candid wedding story, as candid weddings are what couples ask for most. Then give pre-wedding, maternity and newborn shoots a gallery each, with 20 to 30 of your best frames, not 300.

How do couples search for a pre-wedding shoot in Jodhpur?

Many search by place, like "pre wedding shoot at Mehrangarh", or ask AI assistants for a photographer with a shoot at Umaid Bhawan. Give each location its own block with photos, the best time of day and any permit needed.

Should a photographer list on WedMeGood and WeddingWire?

Yes. Couples compare photographers on WedMeGood and WeddingWire India, and families still search Justdial. Add Apple Business Connect and Bing Places too, and use the same name, address and phone everywhere, with a link back to your website.

How should a photographer show album delivery times online?

Say what reaches the couple and when, like a sneak peek in 3 days, edited photos in 3 weeks and the album in 6 weeks. Say what each package includes and whether travel or GST is extra. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and CCPA Guidelines on Misleading Advertisements, 2022 cover this.
