Title
Your wedding photos
Your note
A few questions and photos so I can plan your wedding pictures. Answer on your own, even if your partner is answering too. There are no wrong answers.
What they’ll do
  • Answer 7 short questions
  • React to about 9 images
  • Choose between 3 pairs of images
Time
Encore works it out from the steps. They can stop and pick up where they left off.

Step 1 · Form: About your day

7 questions · Slides, one question per screen

  1. 1

    What are these photos for? Pick all that apply.

    Pick Many
    • Prints for the wall
    • An album
    • Social media
    • A website or press
    • Gifts for family
    • Just to have them

    Tells you what to deliver before you plan a single shot: an album needs a story, a wall print needs one strong frame.

  2. 2

    In the photos, would you rather look posed or caught in the moment?

    Word Pair
    • Posed
    • In the moment

    One quick choice that sets how much you direct on the day.

  3. 3

    How comfortable are you in front of a camera?

    Spectrum
    • I get nervous
    • Completely at ease

    A slider between two ends. It tells you how much time to give the portraits and how gently to start.

  4. 4

    Which of these would you like for your session?

    Pick Many
    • A change of outfit
    • A second location
    • Pets in the photos
    • Hair and makeup
    • Family or friends joining

    Five extras. They pick any they want. Your plan for the session starts here.

  5. 5

    Finish each line with the word that’s closer.

    This / Not That
    • The colour should be bright / moody
    • I’d like colour / black and white
    • The light should feel natural / dramatic

    Three quick lines on the edit, answered one at a time.

  6. 6

    When would you like the session?

    Date
    • A date on the calendar
    • Not required; “Prefer not to answer” stays on

    A date to plan around, without making them commit before they’re ready.

  7. 7

    Is there anything I should know, or avoid?

    Long answer
    • Placeholder: A side you prefer, someone who can’t stand for long, a place that matters to you

    Their own words, before the day, not on it.

Step 2 · Moodboard: Photos you’d like to be in

9 images · react to at least 5

Your couple sees: “Tap images to react. Tell us what you like and what you don’t.” They click a picture, rate it from 1 to 10, pick what draws them in or puts them off (Photography style, Mood & energy and more), how it makes them feel, and can add a few words.
