DODOWedding photography studio software for the season that never slows down.
DODO is wedding photography studio software for Indian studios — plan every event of a wedding as its own shoot phase, assign crew and gear per event, pay second shooters by the day, track instalments, and move edits and albums through a Kanban board.
Haldi, mehendi, sangeet, wedding and reception — each one gets its own date, location, shift, crew and gear inside a single project, with crew pay and client instalments tracked alongside.
Built for: Wedding photo & film studios, candid and traditional teams, pre-wedding specialists, and studios that outsource editing and album design.
Why wedding studios outgrow spreadsheets fast.
Every studio hits the same operational walls once the volume of shoots, clients, and freelancers goes up. These are the four that hurt the most.
One wedding, five events, five different crews
The mehendi needs two candid shooters, the wedding needs a full team plus drone, and the reception is at a different venue on a night shift. Planning it across a diary, a group chat and a spreadsheet is how someone ends up at the wrong venue.
Second shooters are paid from memory
Freelancers work different events at different day rates. At month end you're scrolling chats to reconstruct who shot what — and every mistake costs you a good freelancer next season.
Advance, second instalment, balance — which ones came in?
Indian weddings are paid in instalments. When the booking amount, the pre-event payment and the balance live in a notebook, balances slip and follow-ups get awkward.
Edits and albums disappear after the wedding
Culling, editing, colour, teaser, film and album design are split between staff and outside editors. Nobody knows which couple's album is stuck with which designer until the couple calls.
How DODO runs wedding studios end to end.
Every event as its own shoot phase
Create one project per wedding and add each event — pre-wedding, haldi, sangeet, wedding day, reception — as a shoot phase with its own dates, venue, shift and start time. The team calendar shows every phase, so clashes across weddings are visible before you confirm.
Crew per event, paid per day
Pick the team for each phase and set their rate and days right there. DODO turns those assignments into crew payments on the project, so second shooters and drone operators are paid for exactly what they worked.
Gear booked per event, not per wedding
Book cameras, lenses, lights and drones against each phase and shift. DODO checks for overlapping bookings across all your weddings in the same week, and logs condition when gear comes back.
Instalments on real dates
Set the client's payment plan as instalments with specific due dates — booking amount, pre-event and balance — and record each payment by cash, bank transfer or UPI. Quotations support per-line tax for GST.
Edit and album pipeline on Kanban
Move every wedding through your own stages — Cull, Edit, Colour, Teaser, Film, Album — with an owner and deadline on each card. Outsourced editors and album designers are tracked as editing partners with their own jobs and invoices.
Client portal for deliverables
Couples log in to see project progress and deliverables in one place instead of asking on WhatsApp for the tenth time.
Wedding Studios FAQ
What is the best software for a wedding photography studio in India?
Look for software that handles multi-event weddings, crew scheduling and day-rate pay, gear bookings, client instalments and the post-wedding edit and album pipeline in one place. DODO is built in India for exactly this, starting at ₹2,500 per month on the yearly plan.
Can DODO plan multiple events of one wedding?
Yes. Each wedding is one project, and every event — haldi, mehendi, sangeet, wedding, reception — is a shoot phase with its own date, venue, shift, start time and crew.
How does DODO pay second shooters and freelancers?
When you assign crew to a phase you set their rate and number of days. DODO adds those to the project's crew payments, so freelancer payouts match the events they actually worked. Shift-based payroll, overtime and leave are handled for staff too.
Can I track advance and balance payments from couples?
Yes. Set up the project's payment plan as instalments with specific due dates and record each payment against it, by cash, bank transfer or UPI.
Can I manage outsourced editing and album design?
Yes. DODO's editing module tracks outside editors and album designers as partners, with jobs, rates and invoices — alongside your in-house Kanban board for culling, editing and albums.
Does DODO work for wedding filmmakers as well as photographers?
Yes. The same project can carry photo and film crews, gear and deliverables, with separate Kanban stages for the film edit, teaser and album.
