Template 4: Photographer/Planner Portfolio Follow-Up
Subject: [Couple's Name] — your wedding date is still open for [Month]
Hi [Name],
Following up on my note from [date]. I know [Month] is a popular month — I wanted to let you know I still have [Date] available for [wedding photography / day-of coordination].
Here's a short gallery from a recent [venue type] wedding: [link]
If it feels like a fit, I'd love to hop on a 15-minute call to talk through the details. Would [Day] or [Day] work?

Quick reminder that the second installment of your [service] package ([Amount]) is due on [Date].

Wedding Email Best Practices
- Lead with the date and venue. Guests scan for logistics — put them above the fold and in the subject line when possible.
- Send reminders in a chain. Save-the-date → invitation → timeline → final reminder keeps everyone on track.
- Match the aesthetic. Elegant fonts and soft colors for weddings; bold, cheerful designs for vendors.
- Personalize RSVP deadlines. Nudge only the guests who haven't replied, never the whole list.
- Test on mobile. Most wedding emails are opened on phones while planning.
