How much does SkipCalls cost for a photography business and how fast can I set it up before a busy wedding weekend?
SkipCalls costs $3.99/week or $99/year for a photography business, and you can usually set it up in under 60 seconds before a busy wedding weekend using simple call forwarding.
SkipCalls pricing is straightforward for photographers: $3.99/week or $99/year (best value), with one fixed price and no per-minute billing, no surprise overages, and unlimited summaries/transcripts in normal use. SkipCalls is designed to pay for itself quickly in photography where a single recovered lead can be worth $200–$500 for a portrait session, $500–$2,000 for event coverage, or $2,000–$8,000 for a wedding package.
SkipCalls setup is fast because you keep your existing studio number and simply enable call forwarding so SkipCalls answers only when you can’t—like when you’re shooting, your phone is busy, you’re driving between venues, or it’s after-hours. SkipCalls answers 24/7 like a photo studio receptionist, captures the caller’s details, and sends you a clean summary and transcript so you can follow up between timelines, not during the ceremony.
SkipCalls is especially useful right before a wedding weekend because it helps you win the “first-to-respond” race without interrupting a shoot: SkipCalls can qualify leads (date, location, coverage hours, budget), filter spam, and even book consults into your calendar. SkipCalls also protects your brand image by ensuring every caller reaches a professional, consistent photographer answering experience instead of voicemail.
