Email us at studio@focalweddings.com with a link to your portfolio and the areas you shoot in. We review every photographer's work and professionalism before we start recommending them, and we'll come back to you either way.

There's no monthly membership fee to be included on our recommended photographers list.

If we book a wedding for you, Focal Weddings takes an agreed percentage of the booking as a revenue share. We'll always walk you through the pricing, the revenue-share amount, and exactly what you'll be paid before the couple ever receives a quote, so you review and approve every detail before anything goes out.

When you accept a booking through Focal Weddings, we retain a percentage of the booking as a revenue share. The exact amount depends on the size and details of the booking, but our standard revenue share is around 25%.

We've worked closely with photographers for a long time and understand the realities of pricing and running a photography business. We never want you to take a loss or accept a booking that doesn't make sense for you, so at the quoting stage, we'll clearly outline the revenue share, your total payout, and all booking details before anything is sent to the couple.

We coordinate bookings directly through Focal Weddings. We're not simply a referral list.

We meet with couples to learn about their wedding plans and coverage needs, recommend photographers who fit what they're looking for, and work with the photographer to put together a package and quote if the couple wants to move forward.

We handle the entire booking process for you, but you'll always review and approve the package, pricing, and services before anything is sent to the couple. Once we reach the quoting stage, we're happy to jump on a call and walk you through exactly how it works.

You do. Once a couple signs their contract and pays their non-refundable deposit, you take over the booking fully: timeline planning, pre-wedding consultations, and any wedding-related questions, just as you normally would.

We'll connect you directly with the couple once everything is confirmed.

The gallery delivery deadline is set in the couple's wedding contract, typically the standard turnaround of 4 to 8 weeks after the wedding.

The only time that changes is if a couple specifically requests and/or pays for a rush delivery, which you'd know about before the booking is confirmed.

No. A contract is only required when you decide to accept a specific booking through us, not to be on our recommended photographers list.

Two, and you'll see both before anything is finalized. First, a booking-specific agreement between you and Focal Weddings: it outlines the package and services being offered and your commitment to reserve the wedding date and provide those services. We send this over while we're discussing the package and quote for each couple.

Second, a wedding contract between you and the couple. You can review the full booking and that contract before the couple books, so nothing catches you off guard.

Couples pay for their booking through the Focal booking portal we put together, with payments typically processed through Stripe.

The typical schedule for the couple is 50% at the time of booking and 50% thirty days before the wedding. If a couple requests a payment plan, we'll share the exact payment and payout schedule with you before the booking is finalized.

We collect the couple's payment, retain the agreed revenue-share portion, and then send you your payout. Alternative transfer methods for your payout are possible if Stripe doesn't suit you.

The timing and number of installments depend on the specific booking details and its size. We'll go over exactly how your payout works at the booking and quoting stage.
