Booking software for wedding photographers and videographers. Live in ten minutes.

Whole days, not time slots
A wedding is a day. A destination wedding is three. The couple picks the day or the run of days, and the calendar closes them.
Your contract
Paste in the agreement you already use. The couple signs that one document, before the date is theirs.
Your questions
Venue, ceremony time, the planner’s name. You add the fields, and the answers arrive with the booking.
Your site
You already have a website. Embed the calendar there, next to your galleries, or paste the link into your reply to an inquiry. Both open the same calendar.
Your look
Your logo, your colours, your fonts, your photo behind the calendar. The couple stays in your brand from the first click to the signature.
Your evenings
The confirmation and the balance reminder go to the couple without you. You do not write them.
Booked means the money is down.

What a wedding photographer asks first.
No. It opens as a link in any browser, on a phone or a laptop. They pick the date, sign and pay. No account, no app, and no charge to them from Hardbook.
Yes. Paste in the contract you already use. The couple signs that one document, with a signature, a timestamp and an audit trail.
Yes. You add your own questions to the booking form, and the answers arrive with the booking.
Yes. Put the calendar on your site as an embed, or send the link in your reply to an inquiry. Both go to the same calendar.
You set a percent or a fixed amount. The couple's card is authorized when they sign, through your own Stripe account. When you say yes, the deposit is yours. Hardbook takes no fee from it. The balance is due on the date you set, and the couple gets the reminder.
Yes. The couple picks one day or a run of days, and the calendar closes all of them.
A small one. You get a client list, and each couple shows their bookings, their signed contract, the deposit and the balance. There are no pipelines, no proposals and no invoicing suite. If you need those, HoneyBook is the better tool.
