What she actually types
Not Boston wedding photographer. By the time a couple starts looking for you, they have almost always booked the venue already — so the venue is the word they search with.
The problem
She is not shopping for a photographer in a city. She is looking for someone who has already worked at her venue.
Why I built this
I photographed weddings for years, and I wrote the blog posts like everyone tells you to.
Three posts for the same venue. Three different couples, three different years — and every one of them quietly competing with the other two for exactly the same search. Google picked one, more or less at random, and the other two did nothing at all.
Nobody told me that was the problem. I thought I just needed to blog more.
What I needed was one page for that venue, with all three weddings on it, and the posts pointing at it. That is the entire idea, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to see it.
What we build
And the part everyone hates
It is Sunday night. You are wrecked. The post you owe is from three weddings ago, and the one before that is still sitting in drafts. Everybody is behind. It is not a discipline problem — writing is a second job nobody hired you for.
Answer a few questions — who got married, which venue, what the day was like, where the light was good. That is it. We turn it into a post in your voice, you read it and approve it, and we publish it to your own site.
And every post you write builds the venue page it belongs to. The two products are really one: writing about the wedding is how the venue page gets made.
We never invent anything. If you give us three sentences, you get a short post — not eight hundred words of weather nobody remembers.

Still Harbor is our own demo studio — real pages, real galleries, the same thing yours would look like. Have a look at the chapel page: three weddings, three years, one URL.
