How to create your wedding photography website?

How do you create the perfect wedding photography website? It doesn’t have to be complicated or hard. In fact, with a website builder platform like Pixpa on your side, you don’t even need to have coding or web developer skills!

Here are 10 expert tips to guide you as you build your portfolio website.

TIP 1

Have a vision

Always have a vision for the present as well as for the future. Visualize what you want your wedding photo sharing website to look like before you even start building it. You need to think about what you want your website to look like, what kind of aesthetic you want for it and most importantly what are the features that you are looking for.

Keeping your audience in mind is important here. What are the kinds of weddings you generally shoot and what do you specialize in? Different places often have specific regional or local tastes and aesthetics. If you mostly shoot weddings or rehearsal dinners occuring in small towns or rural areas, your clientele and their tastes will be different from someone shooting big budget city weddings.

Create a website for the clientele you generally shoot for but also don’t forget to keep thinking ahead. You’ve heard of the term ‘dress for the job you want’, well you also need to create a website for the kind of clientele that you aspire to work for.

TIP 2

Keep it simple

Simplicity and minimalism are time-tested principles of website design. Nothing beats a clean, uncluttered and responsive website when it comes to user-friendliness and ease of navigation. Overcrowded and clumsily designed websites confuse and distract visitors which could be detrimental to your wedding photography website. Overcrowded websites can also be slow loading which could lead to search engines penalizing you and reducing your organic reach.

Think about your website as a whole. Create different pages for different sections of your website and keep them consistent in terms of color, design, theme etc. It's fun to experiment but don’t go too overboard. Don’t make a website that is so over complicated that it becomes confusing. Take a look at this step by step guide on how to create your own website.

Make sure to use white space to balance out the different parts of your page instead of trying to cram everything into it at once. Design your website with a less is more approach and be intentional and selective about what you include.

TIP 3

Curation is key

Not every photograph you shoot belongs in your professional wedding photography portfolio. Always put quality before quantity.

A few excellent pieces are the best evidence of your skills and what you have to offer to your clients. You only want to showcase your best work because your best work is what you are selling.

Curate your best wedding photography portfolio and select photographs that showcase the length and breadth of your skills, your versatility and adaptability. Display photographs that show your expertise in shooting under different lighting conditions, your ability to shoot portraits and couple photographs with nuance, your competence in handling wedding guests at large weddings and crowds etc. Also showcase your talent in editing and post production since they are important aspects of modern digital photography.

TIP 4

TIP 5

Make it your own

Photographers like to stay behind the lens but as a wedding photographer you need to ensure that your client has a great experience. It helps prospective brides and grooms to get to know the person that they are working with for their wedding photos

To make the best possible impression and to maximize your chances of getting new clients and jobs, curation is key.

Adding an 'About' page gives you the full and complete opportunity to introduce and market yourself, the wedding photographer, not just the photographs. Let potential clients know exactly who they are working with and why they should work with you. Let them know a little about your creative process and the philosophy behind your work.

Also add forms so that potential clients can contact you directly. This can also be a great opportunity to include a call-to-action. Invite your visitors to email you directly to follow you on your social media channels.

TIP 6

Integrate your social media

Social media undeniably has an extensive reach and it can help you get ‘discovered’. It is also a great medium for sharing your work and networking with other photographers and prospective clients.

But social networking platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr etc have limited options when it comes to personalization and business optimization. This makes them a great place for networking and outreach but lacking in exclusivity, personalization and professionalism.

Fortunately this is a gap that can be very easily bridged by integrating your social media channels with your wedding photography website. This gives your website added functionality and reach while still keeping your personal touch and maintaining the multi-functionality of your website.

TIP 7

Establish a brand

Branding yourself goes a long way in distinguishing yourself and your services from others. Wedding photography can be a rather crowded market and you need to find ways to stand out from the crowd. Creating a brand lets you do exactly that. Your brand lets prospective clients know why they should hire you and what they can expect when they hire you.

A highly personalized, custom website is in and of itself a step forward towards creating your own brand. But you can always do more.

You can buy a custom domain name for a few dollars a year to make your website look more legitimate, authoritative and professional. Having your own personalized logo is also helpful because it is a visual representation of you and your business. All of this helps in establishing your brand identity and in making your business look more credible and trustworthy.

TIP 8

Share your creative process

When it comes to wedding photography, prospective clients want to know that you care about what you do. After all, this is their special day we are talking about. They want everything to be perfect and they want a wedding photographer whom they can trust to capture the depth of their love and commitment.

The best way of showcasing your creative process is to add a blog section to your wedding photography website. This will make your portfolio website more than just a simple collection of images. It will add personality and context. You can add blog posts detailing your experience shooting certain weddings and how the couple and their story was an important part of your creative process. This can not only be a great marketing strategy for your business but can also be an outlet for you to share your passion for wedding photography. Also take a look at this guide on how to take amazing wedding photos.

TIP 9

Market your website

Marketing is everything in this day and age. You could be the best wedding photographer in the world but that does not matter as long as no one knows about you.

In order to be able to use your website as an efficient marketing tool for your wedding photography business, you can link it on your social media channels, put it on your business cards, tell people about it and send out links. This way you can get visitors and traffic to your website so that you can actually showcase your wedding photography portfolio. Take a look at this article on how to grow your wedding photography business.

Apart from this, make sure you have good marketing tools attached to your website as well. Marketing pop ups, announcement bars, newsletter services and SEO tools help you turn your wedding photography website into a comprehensive tool for selling your services and products.

TIP 10

Optimize for search engines

Search engine optimization is an incredibly cost effective way of bringing in organic traffic to your website and expanding your reach.

Your wedding photography website can only help you grow if you can use it to attract clients. SEO helps you do exactly that. By helping your website rank well in search engine result pages, it helps you bring in more site visitors and potential clients.

Search engine optimization can be as easy as ensuring your photography portfolio website is well coded and loads fast. Some other ways of ensuring search engine optimization are clean URLs, automatic sitemap, image alt tags, 256-bit SSL certificates, and built-in SEO tools. Adding a blog to your photography portfolio website can be an excellent way of improving your search engine rankings. Through your blog you can incorporate various long-form keywords that can help you rank better on search engines.
