Hear From Other Photographers

Real words from photographers building their wedding business with Ignite, booking weddings with more confidence and less guesswork.

“I’ve booked a significant number of weddings through Ignite, and it’s made a real difference in my business.”

“I have booked some weddings next year through the ignite program and the couples booked are all my ideal couples, which I was struggling with when I was doing my own marketing.”

“I’ve already booked a wedding (and looking like another one in the works) within the first couple weeks of calls - which I was really not expecting to happen so fast”

“With Focal’s team by my side... the sky’s the limit and I’m excited to get there!”

“More of the couples seem ready to book, so lead qualifying feels better.”

“We previously invested in other platforms... the return on investment was nothing compared to being partnered with the studio management team at Focal.”

Weddings booked

Roughly what it takes to cover a full year of Ignite: twelve months of ad spend and twelve months of studio team support. Everything after that is profit.

$2,000+

Session revenue

Engagement sessions are how we book your couples, and you are paid for every one. Around ten a year, on top of the weddings they lead to.

$450

Setup fee, credited back

Start with a trial period. We build your account, campaign and dedicated pages for a one-time $450 setup fee, then credit the full amount back as ad spend across your first two months.

FAQs

Take the consultations, shoot the engagement sessions, and shoot the weddings you book. We handle the ads, the inquiries and the booking. You’ll need real availability in your calendar, you’ll need to turn up, and you’ll need to keep in touch with our team as bookings come through. The engagement sessions are where most of your time goes.

A listing or a course sells you a chance and leaves you to do the rest. We do the rest. And we take 25% of the weddings we help you book, so if it isn’t working for you it isn’t working for us.

Marketing is our end of it, so no. On sales: if couples tend to book you once they’ve met you, you’re the sort of photographer this works for. Being easy to talk to matters more here than being slick on a call. The rest we work on with you: what goes out beforehand, how you follow up, and how your packages are put together.

A low monthly fee, a one-time setup cost that goes into your ad spend, and 25% of the weddings we help you book. The full numbers are on our pricing page.

All client payments go directly to you. Once a client’s wedding payments reach the 50% threshold, we’ll send you an invoice for the revenue share through your preferred payment method.

Your campaign goes live not long after setup and inquiries come in from there. Most photographers see their first bookings within 30 to 60 days. The exact pace depends on your market and the time of year.

Not at all. If you’re happy with your current website, keep it. We build the standalone pages Ignite needs either way. If you are ready to update your wedding site, we can build a full SEO-optimised one as an add-on.
