GetOnWeb
“Couples don’t book the photographer with the most followers. They book the one whose website makes them feel like that could be their wedding.”
Why photographers need a website
Instagram gets you noticed. Your website gets you booked.
A couple spends months planning their wedding and will look at dozens of photographers. Instagram is where they discover you; your website is where they make up their minds.
Full weddings, not just highlights
Couples want to see a whole day: morning prep, ceremony, family groups, the speeches, the dance floor. Full wedding stories on your site prove you can deliver the full day, not just one golden-hour portrait.
Found by couples who’ve booked a venue
Searches like “[venue] wedding photographer” and “wedding photographer [county]” come from couples who already have a date and a venue. Venue pages on your website put you right in front of them.
Your personality, front and centre
Couples spend their whole wedding day with you. An about page that shows who you are, how you work and what you’re like on the day matters as much as your portfolio.
An enquiry process that converts
Date, venue, budget, a few words about them. A thoughtful enquiry form gets you everything you need to reply quickly with availability - and replying quickly wins bookings.
Your photography website includes
A portfolio that loads fast and sells the feeling.
Image-led design, lean code and copy that sounds like you.
- Portfolio galleries optimised so they load fast on phones.

Common mistakes
Why beautiful photography websites still lose bookings.
Great photos aren’t enough if the site gets in the way.
Galleries that take ages to load
Huge uncompressed images on a phone signal? Couples leave before the first photo appears.
No idea of price
“Contact for pricing” puts off couples who fear they can’t afford you.
Only highlights
Fifty sunsets and no family groups makes couples wonder how you handle the rest of the day.
No sign of the photographer
Couples are inviting you to their wedding. Show your face and personality.

FAQ
Questions wedding photographers ask us.
I already have a portfolio on Instagram. Why a website?
Couples find photographers on Instagram, but they book from websites. Your site shows full wedding stories, packages, how you work and who you are - things a grid can't. It also ranks on Google for searches like "wedding photographer [county]" and "[venue] wedding photographer", which Instagram rarely does.
Will a website with lots of photos be slow?
Not if it's built properly. We compress and size every image for the web, load galleries lazily as people scroll, and keep the code lean, so your portfolio looks stunning without making couples wait.
Should wedding photographers show prices?
Increasingly, yes. Couples have budgets and many skip photographers who hide prices. "Collections from £X" or a starting price filters out mismatched enquiries and lets the right couples book with confidence. It's your call - we can also lead with an enquiry-first approach.
What are venue pages and why do they matter?
Couples often search "[venue name] wedding photographer". A page featuring a wedding you shot at a specific venue, with tips about the light and locations there, can rank for that search and attract couples who've already booked the venue.
How much does a wedding photography website cost?
Custom photography websites from agencies often cost £1,500-£3,000. GetOnWeb is £39.99 a month with no setup fee: design, copywriting, domain, hosting, security and an hour of updates every month - perfect for adding new weddings.
Can the enquiry form ask for wedding details?
Yes. Date, venue, guest numbers, budget range and how they found you - so you can check availability and reply with the right collection straight away.
