AI setter for wedding photographers
An AI setter for wedding photographers answers inquiry DMs from your portfolio posts and Reels, checks date, venue and budget, then books a discovery call with couples whose date you can take.

Where your leads start the conversation
Most wedding photographers get buyers from three places. Each one deserves its own first question.
A comment on a portfolio post
They comment “DATE” on a wedding carousel. The flow sends your pricing guide, the setter asks their date.
A reply to a sneak-peek Story
Couples reply “are you free in June?” to a sneak peek. Ask the exact date and venue.
A Messenger inquiry from wedding groups
Couples from local wedding groups write on Messenger. Many ask “what’s your rate?” before saying hello.
Chapter 02Qualify
Ask these before the call
A setter books calls only for people who pass your fit rule. These questions make the rule, one per message.

Not a fit when
The date is already booked: suggest an associate if you have one, or wish them well. The budget sits well below your smallest package. Wants only raw files or a one-hour shoot you don’t offer.
Don’t hold a date in the DM
A date is reserved once the contract and retainer are in. Tell the setter to say so, and never to promise a hold before the call.

Opener after the pricing guide
Right after your flow sends the pricing guide.
Congrats on the engagement! Here’s my pricing guide. What’s your date? I’ll make sure it’s still open before anything else.
- Next
- Wait for the date.
- Why it works
- The date decides everything, so it’s the first question.
Venue
When the date is open.
Good news, Replace [date] is still open. Where are you celebrating? The venue and travel shape which package fits best.
- Next
- Note the venue for the call.
- Why it works
- Venue and travel change the quote.
Package and budget
After they share the venue.
Love that venue. My Replace [offer] is made for Replace [ideal client]. Pricing: Replace [price]. Does that fit the budget you’ve set?
- Next
- Yes: book the call. Below budget: share your smallest package.
- Why it works
- Price comes after the date check, so it’s never the first thing they hear.
Book a call with the couple
When the budget fits.
Amazing. Let’s hop on a quick discovery call so I can hear your plans and talk about Replace [result]. Could you both do Replace [day] at Replace [time] or Replace [day] at Replace [time]?
- Next
- The setter books the slot in the DM, so the couple never hunts for a link.
- Why it works
- Two times and an invite for both partners make yes easy.
Follow-up while they compare
When they go quiet after the pricing.
Hi Replace [first name], happy to answer anything while you compare photographers. Would a quick call this week help you decide?
- Next
- Let it rest after two follow-ups.
- Why it works
- It respects the comparison and still offers the next step.
