WhatsApp message templates for photography studios
Photography studios work with six templates: four utility and two marketing. Utility covers booking confirmation, pre-shoot reminders, gallery delivery and payments; marketing covers seasonal mini-shoots and referral offers.
A shoot is a chain of small confirmations, and one missed step means an empty studio or an unhappy client. WhatsApp keeps the booking, the checklist and the final gallery in one thread both sides can find again.

- Every template is submitted under one category, and Meta assigns the final one in review. A utility template that reads like a promotion can be reclassified as marketing, which changes both the rate and the opt-in requirement.
- Since 1 October 2026, service messages are charged per delivered message after the first 1,000 free service messages per business phone number per month. The allowance does not roll over and there are no volume tiers.
- Inbound messages are free, and a customer-initiated message opens the 24-hour customer service window. Anything you start outside that window needs an approved template.
