I am so excited you are here! I hope you find something to take with you in building your photography business, I believe in you.

Hello + Welcome!

As a wedding photographer, having an outstanding website is so important and so I wanted to do a wedding photography website critique for fun. I put together a critique of a few websites with my honest first impression and feedback. There is so much I am still learning about the wedding photography industry, but I have definitely created my fair share of websites over the years and have learned a few things when it comes to photography website designs and creating a website that stands out. In this video I share all of my wedding photography website tips and advice!

So I have never seen any of these websites before making this video, just for full disclosure.

Watch the full video here:

Some key takeaways:

If you are a travel photographer, say “travel” , and if you are not, say “serving” __.
7-8 menu options might be one too many options. I’ve heard five or six is a sweet spot.
My first thought is, who are you? What’s your name? And I don’t, don’t see that anywhere, make sure to introduce yourself right away.
I’m also noticing is there’s a lot of sentences ending in exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. So it feels like you’re shouting.
The ‘click that button below’ is kind of an outdated thing with today’s websites.
If I click book appointment, it takes me straight to the contact page. Love that.
Each gallery has a different format, so I think it might be more consistent if they were all the same kind of format.
Contact page is almost creating a lot of work for potential clients to to think about when they want to inquire with you, make it less questions.

I think it looks great and I love your website, so I hope this was helpful. I would love to do more wedding photography website critiques, if you’re interested in me critiquing your photography business website, we have a comment down below with a link to it and I will go ahead and pick more and do more over the next couple months.
