When you’re selling a high-ticket service such as wedding photography, it’s not uncommon to give a client gift as a thank you for booking. From a business owner perspective, research shows the highest potential for buyer’s remorse happens right after booking. This is why I suggest my mentees give client gifts shortly after after you’ve received the signed contract and retainer. I prefer this over gift giving on the wedding day or after final gallery delivery. Here are the top 10 wedding photography client gift ideas:

Personalized ornament. This is a sentimental gift that they will treasure for years to come.

2. Vow Books. Personalized vow books are an incredibly thoughtful gift that also provides practical use since they will use them on their wedding day. Plus, as a photographer, having high quality vow books adds that special touch when photographing detail shots.

3. Wedding Welcome Guide. I send this guide digitally to every couple that books a wedding package with me immediately after booking. If you’re sending a curated package, you could also print and include this in it.
