What couples see near your venues

Your ads run on news sites, apps and Gmail across Google's network, shown to people Google believes are engaged or planning a wedding, in or near the places you pin. They're picture ads, not search results.

Everything in one place

Built for how photographers actually book

No ad-manager maze. Every screen speaks in inquiries, venues and booked dates.

Gold geofencing circles mark a Hill Country ranch, nearby shops and a lakeside estate in an aerial view.

Venue geofencing

Draw a circle around the places couples go

Pin the venues you love, the bridal shops nearby and the weekend's bridal show. Your ads show to people Google believes are engaged or planning a wedding who are in, or regularly in, those places.

Ad studio

One photo, every ad size

ShutterReach picks the photos that read best at small sizes and crops each one around your couples' faces for wide, square and portrait placements. Headlines are written in your voice and checked against Google's rules before review.

Consent

Couples say yes before their photos run

Already have a marketing release in your contracts? Tick one box. Otherwise send a photo-release request from your library in one click, and couples approve each photo on their phone. Photos without consent never reach an ad.

Results

Watch your calendar fill

Every inquiry arrives with the campaign that brought it in, and every venue shows what it spent. Mark a lead booked and we tell Google, so your budget follows the couples who book. Google gets a click code and a scrambled copy of the couple's email, never their name or message.

Inside the app

See the app before you sign up

These are real screens from Hollis & Vale Photo, a demo wedding studio in Austin. Its campaign runs in simulation, so the numbers show how the screens work, not a real studio's results.

Estimated visits to your page: 400–850 a month

Visits are planning estimates from typical wedding display ads, for five places with a 2-mile circle each, not a promise. More places reach more people; a small area may not use the whole budget. We don't estimate inquiries yet: we're new, and we'd rather show you real numbers than guess.

Why we built this

We're Alex and Ashley, and we run ShutterReach from Mukwonago, Wisconsin. We kept seeing wedding photographers pay for directory listings that put them right next to every competitor in town.

Couples choose a photographer by looking. So we built a way to show your own work to newly engaged couples near the venues you love, and to show you exactly what every inquiry cost. No retainer, no contract, and no ad manager to learn: we set up and run the Google Ads for you.

We're onboarding our first studios personally. If you'd like to talk it through first, book a free 15-minute call with us. We'd love to hear about your studio.
