Question 1

I'm just starting out. Am I too early to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes, and we'll tell you on the call if so. Our work moves the needle most for photographers already booking 8–20 weddings a year who want to charge more, work fewer dates, and stop relying on referrals. If you're at 1–2 weddings a year, the marketing handbook below will serve you better right now than a paid engagement.

Question 2

What does an engagement actually cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the build. The lightest engagement is a positioning + website + Google sprint that takes us 14–30 days. From there, ongoing work (paid ads, Pinterest, Instagram strategy) is a monthly retainer scoped to your goals. Specifics get covered honestly on the call. No obligation.

Question 3

Are you actually wedding-photography specific, or just another marketing agency?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: we're a performance-marketing agency that has built a deep specialty in wedding photography. Our parent agency, Advocate 1917, runs $20M+ in ad spend across 100+ verticals. That's where the systems came from. We brought those systems to wedding photographers and have been refining them on real photographer P&Ls ever since. So: yes, we know your industry. And no, we're not a one-trick consultancy.

Question 4

Will you take over my Instagram or my brand voice?

Accepted Answer

No. We give you the system, the templates, the calendar, and the strategy, but the voice stays yours. The photographers we work with are creatives. We don't replace your creative. We get more of the right people in front of it.

Question 5

What does the guarantee actually cover?

Accepted Answer

The short version: qualified leads, or we cut you a check. Each engagement is scoped to a flat lead-count KPI based on the package. If we don't hit it, you get a check. We don't do free-forever retainers and we don't take your money without delivering. Spend floors, what 'qualified' means for the wedding photographer's specific market, and minimum engagement length are all documented in writing before signing.

Question 6

Do I own my ad accounts, my website, and my data?

Accepted Answer

Always. Your accounts, your domain, your CRM, your data. We never hold accounts hostage and we'll hand off cleanly any time you ask.

Question 7

I already work with a coach or mentor. Is this duplicative?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Coaches and mentors typically work on mindset, business systems, or shooting craft. We work on the marketing infrastructure underneath all of it: ads, SEO, funnel, copy, conversion. We've slotted in alongside coaches more times than we've replaced one.
