Studio Is Built For
Full time wedding photographers
You shoot 20 or more weddings a year. Every wedding runs through the same workflow, every couple gets the same professional brief, every crew member gets the same mobile timeline.
Studios with crew
Second shooters, assistants, videographers. Everyone gets the mobile crew brief with tappable addresses. Nobody asks where they are supposed to be.
Multi-shooter operations
Three shoots in one weekend. Three different couples. Three different family formals lists. Vela runs them all in parallel so nothing blurs.
Photo plus video teams
Your videographer gets the same timeline, the same shot list references, the same family formal blocks. One brief, one team, one cohesive final product.
Every one of these stops when Vela runs your studio.
Every couple answers the questions before the wedding. Every crew member has the brief. You stop firefighting.
“11pm texts from couples asking what time to have makeup done”
“Family formals taking 45 minutes while the reception waits”
“Second shooter showing up to the wrong address”
“Divorced parents not told they would be in the same photo”
“The aunt no one told you about asking for a group shot”
“Videographer and photographer stepping on each other all day”
Multiply that by thirty weddings a year. That is what Vela is handling for you in the background.
How It Works
Start free. Run your studio through the same polished play every wedding.
1. Start free
Fourteen days free. No credit card. Build a real wedding, invite a couple, export a full crew brief. Decide after.
2. Invite your couples
Every couple gets a portal. They answer the questionnaire, build family groups, upload inspiration. You stop managing their homework.
3. Timelines build themselves
Ceremony time in. Everything else out. Makeup call time, first look, portraits, arrival, reception. Same pro calculation on every wedding.
4. Family formals pre-organized
Your couple builds the groups. Separated parents. Blended families. Twelve minutes on the day instead of forty five of chaos.
5. Crew and video coordinated
Second shooter, assistant, videographer. Everyone on the same timeline with tappable addresses. One team, one brief, one execution.
6. Deliver the brief
Export to PDF, share the link, or hand it to your crew on their phones. Every wedding runs the same. Your studio operates like a studio.
Everything You Need To Run A Studio
Every feature, every wedding. No per-seat nickel and diming.
Unlimited weddings
Thirty a year or eighty a year. Same price. Every wedding runs through the same polished workflow. Your quality scales.
Crew seats included
Second shooter, assistant, production coordinator. Everyone gets the mobile crew brief. No extra per-seat charge.
Video team coordination
Video questionnaire, packages, brief export. Your videographer gets the timeline and shot references. One team, one deliverable.
Automated family notifications
Every family member gets a personal text with their call time and location. You stop herding. They arrive.
Client portal at scale
Every couple gets their own portal. Questionnaires, timelines, mood boards, shot lists. You manage thirty weddings without the mental load of thirty.
Mood board per wedding
Every couple uploads inspiration to their portal. You scan before the day. You never shoot someone's vision wrong.
Mobile brief for the whole crew
Tappable addresses, tappable phone numbers, check off shots as you go. Your second shooter is navigating while you are shooting.
Priority support
You run a business. When something breaks on a Saturday morning, we answer. Studio subscribers jump the line.

“My couples come to the wedding already knowing their family groups, their timeline, and what shots they want. I am not answering texts at midnight anymore. Saved me three hours per wedding. Easily.”
“Family formals used to be 45 minutes of chaos. Now my couples have pre-organized groups and everyone knows their call time. We are done in 12 minutes. The reception starts on time. The couple thanks me.”
“Separated family groups alone is worth the subscription. Divorced parents, blended families, complicated dynamics. My couples sort it out before the day. I just shoot.”
“The aunt came up to my couple after formals and asked where they found me. I looked like a genius. Vela did most of the organizing. At $39 a month it pays for itself in the first wedding of the month.”
“My videographer and I used to step on each other. Now we are on the same timeline. One shot list, one brief, one team. Our couples notice.”
“Three weddings in one weekend across two countries. Vela handled every timeline, every crew brief, every family formal list. My business scales because Vela scales.”
