The contract signs. The date blocks. No texts.
Your availability, your calendar, your second shooter's schedule. One system knows the date is taken the moment the deposit clears.
The Date Blocks Itself
She signed the contract. The date blocked itself.
The bride signs the contract and pays the deposit through one link at 11 PM. The date blocks automatically in the calendar. No manual hold. No double-booking risk. The confirmation happened because the contract triggered it, not because you remembered.
Your second shooter, assigned through Workforce, sees the session on their calendar with venue, timeline, and client details. You did not text anyone.
Mini-session slots, full-day wedding blocks, and real estate turnaround windows on the same calendar. Availability updates in real time after every booking confirmation from Sign.
Contract signed. Calendar blocked. No human touched it.
The calendar blocked itself from the contract. Now — the business profile, the directory listings, and every client-facing page read the same data.
Update once. Every directory agrees.
Business hours, address, and service descriptions set in one record. The portfolio website reads it. Google reads it. Directory listings read it. Change your hours once, and every listing publishes the update.
For multi-photographer studios, one pricing record keeps every team member's quotes consistent. No emailed spreadsheets. No version confusion.
A session confirms through Bookings via self-booking or the Deals pipeline workflow
The calendar blocks in Bookings, the deal record updates in Deals, and the pre-wedding questionnaire queues in Forms
No manual date blocking after confirmation. No forgotten questionnaire.
What it costs
Core is free. Scheduling, client records, business configuration, and directory publishing cost nothing. No trial. No upgrade wall. No credit card.
The scheduling engine, the availability grid, and self-booking links are included at no charge. The equivalent functionality from a separate scheduling tool costs $192 or more per year.
Free, forever. The operational foundation every photographer gets on day one.
