Today's prompts

Copy, fill in the [brackets], paste into ChatGPT.

First Inquiry Reply for Wedding LeadPrompt

Use this when: A couple sends a first inquiry and you want to answer within minutes.

Write a warm first email reply for a wedding inquiry. Business: Sarah Mitchell Photography. Client names: Emma and James. Wedding date: 14 September 2026. Venue: The Willow Barn, Ghent. Mention availability, show excitement, ask two next-step questions, and invite a 15 minute call. Under 130 words.

Example output

Hi Emma and James, thanks so much for reaching out and for sharing your date at The Willow Barn. I would love to photograph your wedding and I am available on 14 September 2026. If it helps, I can send a tailored package once I know your rough timeline and expected guest count. Would you like a quick 15 minute call this week to walk through your plans? Warmly, Sarah, Sarah Mitchell Photography

Why it works: Fast response signals reliability. Asking two concrete questions keeps momentum instead of ending with a vague let me know.

Inquiry Reply for Family SessionPrompt

Use this when: A family asks about availability and you want a warm but structured answer.

Write a friendly response to a family photo inquiry. Studio: Sarah Mitchell Photography. Client: Laura Benson. Requested month: May. Location: Bruges city center. Include session length, turnaround time, what to wear guidance, and one booking question. Under 120 words.

Example output

Hi Laura, thanks for your message. May is a lovely month for a family session in Bruges and I still have afternoon slots open. My sessions run about 60 minutes and final edited photos are delivered within 10 days. I will send simple outfit guidance once your date is confirmed so everyone feels comfortable on the day. Would you prefer a weekday evening or weekend morning session? Warmly, Sarah

Why it works: You answer the practical questions before they are asked. That lowers friction and gets faster confirmations.

Short DM to Email BridgePrompt

Use this when: A lead contacts you on Instagram and you want to move to email.

Write a short Instagram DM reply for a newborn session inquiry. Business: Sarah Mitchell Photography. Client: Nina. Ask for email and preferred due date week. Keep it warm and under 45 words.

Example output

Hi Nina, thank you for reaching out. I would love to help with your newborn session. Could you send me your email and the week your baby is due? I will send options and next steps right away. Sarah

Why it works: A short bridge message keeps social leads moving into your normal booking workflow.

Micro-system insight

Warm lead response: every strong message has the same pattern. Add context, set tone, set length, and ask for one next action. Save your best prompt once, then only swap names, dates, and details.

Localisation bridge

Add 'Write the response in Dutch/French/German' to any prompt. The structure stays the same, only the language changes.

If this already saves you time, the full pack gives you 60 ready-to-send prompts.
