Photography booking system — clients self-book, shoot requirements captured upfront
Every shoot requires ten-plus messages to coordinate — pricing questions, time slot requests, style discussions, wardrobe confirmation. Just the pre-shoot communication eats into your editing time. Dolyu lets clients self-select packages, fill in their brief, and complete booking themselves. Shoot reminders auto-send. Style preferences are stored in full.
Whether you're a solo portrait photographer, a family photo studio, or a commercial shoot space, Dolyu makes intake smoother and every shoot better prepared.
Dolyu is an online booking and CRM system built for Photography professionals. Customers book via a branded web URL — no app download required. Features include automated scheduling, CRM with custom tags and notes, operations reports, and e-signature checkout. US$15/month, all features, no contract.
Clients fill in their brief and preferences during self-booking — dramatically less back-and-forth on pricing, slots, and style alignment.
Auto LINE reminders include shoot date and preparation notes — clients arrive on time and ready, fewer wasted sessions.
Capacity control and buffer settings prevent overbooking — enough post-production time protected, quality uncompromised.
