You
The whole job: where it is, the next move, and every step checked off.
For wedding photographers
Meet Cue, your studio’s office manager.
Cue answers new inquiries, sends the paperwork, chases the insurance certificate, lines up your crew and keeps your couples on schedule, day and night. Anything that matters waits for your yes.
14-day trial Card required, nothing charged for 14 days Setup is seven questions
While you were shooting
Cue ran the office.
You were at a wedding all day. Cue answered the inquiry that came in at breakfast, found a second shooter when yours dropped out, and caught a certificate that would have kept you out of the venue. On Monday, five things are waiting for you, each ready to send.
Works around the clock. Waits for you on what matters.Routine notices and reminders go out on their own. Anything Cue writes for you, and anything about money or signatures, waits for your yes.

Watch Cue run one wedding, start to finish.
Inquiry to album is a year or more and a hundred small steps. This is what Cue handles at each stop. Press one to watch that part of the film.
InquiryIt becomes a job the moment it arrives, with your reply already written.
BookedProposal accepted, agreement signed online, retainer paid. Then your crew get their offers.
PlanningThe couple's forms fill in from what they've already told you, and the run of show is drafted.
WeddingThe week of: the couple's note and the crew's call times go out without you writing them.
GalleryRelease the gallery. The review ask and album reminders run themselves.
ClosedWhen the balance, gallery and crew all check out, the job closes.
You, your couple and your crew, kept in step.
Each sees their own part of the same job. Nobody forwards an email, and nobody asks you what time to be there.
Your couple
Their own portal, in your studio’s name. Nothing to download.
Your crew
The offer, the call time and the day sheet, on their phone.
Everything an office manager does, except the coffee runs.

Like any new hire
It starts by asking. It earns the keys.
On day one, the messages that sound like you wait for you: the schedule confirmation, the day-before checklist, the balance notice. Approve the same kind three times without changing a word and Cue offers to send it on its own from then on. Money, signatures and anything Cue writes itself always wait.
17 emails to Ella and Jordan. Cue wrote every one.The wedding in the film, start to finish. Every one went out in the studio’s name.
- Drafted in your voiceElla's day-before note, her final invoice notice, the schedule confirmation.
- One tap to sendOr open it and change a word first.
- Waits for youIt never records a payment, a signature or a permission.
From yes to paid in full, without the chasing.
Cue sends each invoice from your own QuickBooks at the right moment. When a payment runs late, it drafts the reminder and you send it with one tap. Payments land in QuickBooks, and StudioCue never takes a cut of client payments.

Cue gets the certificate the venue asks for.
Most venues won’t let you shoot without a certificate naming them. Cue gets the request to your agent ready, chases until it’s back, checks it against what the venue requires, and sends it on once you approve.
- Asked for 60 days out, chased until it’s back
- Checked against the venue’s requirements, problems flagged
- You approve it, the venue gets it, and the venue is remembered next time
- Checked for you$500,000 of cover where the venue requires $1,000,000.
- Straight from your agentTheir reply comes back to this job by itself.
- You decideSend it to the venue, or ask your agent to correct it.
The readiness engine
“Booked” isn’t ready.
Cue checks the facts you define: signed agreements, reconciled payments, approved schedules, accepted crew, confirmed locations, insurance, and every blocking checkpoint.
- Fixed rules, never an AI guess
- A clear owner for every blocker
- The week before the day, handled
- Where and whenWillow Creek Barn, and what's next on the day.
- The run of show, version 1Published, and the same one your crew reads.
- Who's comingJordan, accepted.
The rest of your calendar runs the same way.
Each kind of job books, bills and plans the way its work does, with its own words. No “your wedding” for a family session.
Mitzvahs, quinceañeras & Sweet 16s
Named for who you're celebrating — "Sam's bar mitzvah" — with the candle lighting, the court's waltz or the hora laid out on the night.
Communions, proms & vow renewals
A communion or a prom paid in full with nothing to sign, a class or a group of friends booking together, and a vow renewal or anniversary party in its own words.
Family & portraits
Paid in full to book, no agreement unless you add one, and a short details form two weeks out.
Corporate & events
A brief that asks who signs off and how you get in, a run of show, and your crew on it.
More on corporate & eventsSports
Paid on the day, a game-day plan, and every photographer on one schedule.

StudioCue for plannersWorks like an assistant. Costs like software.
A CRM keeps the records and leaves the work to you. An assistant does the work, once you’ve trained them, during their hours. Cue does the work from day one, at any hour.

|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | They do, once you've trained them | You do. It keeps the records | Cue does. You approve what matters |

“I review it and send it.”
Built around how one studio runs its weddings.
GR Productions is a wedding photography studio in Madison, New Jersey. StudioCue was built around the way it works: its inquiry form, its run-of-show rules, its night-before checklist. Its own wedding forms ship in StudioCue as recommended templates.
Before StudioCue, GR ran each wedding across eight separate tools: about 5–6 hours of mechanical admin per couple, and 1–2 hours staffing each event, by Gabriel’s own estimate.

Before you start your trial.
Do my couples need to download an app?
No. Their portal is a web page that opens from a link in your email, on any phone or computer. They sign in with a one-time link we email them, so there is no password to remember.
Can I bring in weddings I've already booked?
Yes. Add them one at a time, or upload a spreadsheet exported from your current tool and check every row before anything is imported. Imported jobs arrive quietly: nothing is emailed, invoiced or charged to your client until you choose to bring them in.
Is Cue a person?
No. Cue is software: AI for the writing, and fixed rules for everything that counts. It works at any hour, and it never pretends to be someone it isn't.
What does Cue do on its own?
The routine work: acknowledging inquiries from your website, reminding clients to sign and to finish their forms, sending invoices from your QuickBooks, offering a job to the next photographer when someone passes, chasing your insurance agent, the week-before note, and review and album reminders. Anything the AI writes (replies, proposals, the run of show) waits for you to approve it. It never records a payment, a signature or a permission, and never marks a job ready. A few more routine messages can send on their own once you switch them on.
Will my clients know about Cue?
No. Every email and every page your clients see comes from your studio, in your name and your voice. Your crew deal with you too. Cue works behind the scenes, for you.
Does Cue touch my photos?
Never. Cue runs the office. Editing, culling and the gallery you send are yours.
Is my card charged during the trial?
No. A card is needed to start, and nothing is charged for 14 days. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.
Do you take a cut of client payments?
No. Your clients pay you through your own QuickBooks, with QuickBooks Payments pay links and autopay if you use them. StudioCue never takes a percentage; you pay your plan, and QuickBooks charges its usual card fees.
Can I switch from HoneyBook, Dubsado or 17hats?
Yes. Bring in your agreement, packages, questionnaires and email templates from the documents you already use, and your booked clients from a CSV export of HoneyBook, Dubsado, 17hats, Studio Ninja or a spreadsheet. You review everything before it is imported.
Your office manager can start today.
Start free. Cue has the first reply drafted before you’ve finished your coffee, and you decide whether it sends.
