Short on time? Here’s the quick version. If you want a template designed specifically for a luxury fine art wedding photographer, look no further than Primrose Hill (Romantic, feminine, classic). If you’re weighing up other designers, Fitzgerald and Windom Hill are my next fine art choices at the premium end, Provence and Calloway are other favourites at a more mid-priced option, and Fitzrovia as well as Something Blue are beautiful options for when you’re starting out in the industry or don’t need all the bells and whistles that the other templates offer but still want a site that reflects the quality of your work.
What to look for in a Wedding Photography Website Template
Photography, and specifically wedding photography, is the most popular category for Showit website templates. There are thousands of designs to choose from and if you’ve already been looking for one you might have noticed that they’re not all designed equally. So, what makes a good fine art wedding photography template?
- Multiple Gallery options. Your portfolio is your ultimate selling point so if you have the option to test out multiple galleries to showcase your work, you’re opening up more ways for someone to fall in love with what you create.
- Design that affirms the price point. We’re talking fine art wedding photography, not a $300 digital course. The design needs to reflect that this is a premium service — and that the results will be premium too.
- Minimal promotion. Some templates have a freebie on every corner and whilst this works for some industries, the luxury wedding market is not one of them. We are looking for understated elements that gently guide potential clients towards booking.
- Generous white space. This is one of the key differentiators for me when comparing templates and curating a list of the top ones. Busy design can absolutely work and is very on trend for certain industries right now (such as social media content creators) but fine art wedding photography is not one of them. You need space to let your images breathe, as well as a chance for someone to pause — and read every line of well placed copy.
With that said, here are my current top seven picks. (Want to try Showit first? You can get your first month free with my link right here.)
1. Primrose Hill by Storymuse
The most romantic design, Primrose Hill. I’ve spend many, many months perfecting this template for the luxury photographer who is drawn to finer details. The classic style photography from Kristin Sautter inspired me to create a 20+ page design that would truly honour wedding galleries and elevate portfolios with beautiful space, subtle animations and romantic touches. This template feels light and airy while also exuding classic European design styles. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Storymuse template if it wasn’t also showing an ode to one of my favourite London areas.
2. Fitzgerald by Tonic
This editorial design has been one of my favourite templates by Tonic. It’s a full-packed template with all the pages you could need from portfolio to resources and a detailed experience page. The movement and gallery animations are so beautifully done, I believe this is a perfect choice for an established wedding photographer who already has a thriving business and wants a website that is going to support their growth. The template feels like magazine-style lookbook in the best way.
3. Windom Hill by Northfolk
A luxurious template that I’ve had the honour to customise for my clients this year and therefore know just how stunning this design is. Each page complements each other and really lets the photography be the star of the show with minimal layouts. Northfolk templates are always created with the highest attention to detail and especially for fine art wedding photographers, that won’t go unnoticed. It’s a premium website that has everything you need, and nothing you don’t so that customising it will feel like a breeze. (you can always let us customise it for you, too!)
4. Provence by Ashley Ferreira
The template that feels like a glass of champagne in the south of France. A modern and elegant design that’s perfect for the wedding photographer with a timeless style. If you have an education side to your business and teach other photographers or you want to add this in the future, there is a beautiful page included with this template just for that. It’s also another design that I believe is perfect for customisation, since all of the layouts can be used in different ways to create something uniquely yours.
5. Calloway by Northfolk
Another one by Northfolk because I’m in love with all they create. This template is a lighter one compared to Windom Hill in terms of the pages, the pricing also reflects that as this one is only $697 compared to $1297 — the quality however, is still unmatched. Calloway is a dreamy, feminine design with soft edges on images and a romantic script font that I adore. I’d recommend this one to a fine art wedding photographer who might have less content for their site but still wants a premium digital home for their work.
6. Fitzrovia by Storymuse
A beautiful, elegant website template that I designed for the wedding professionals who are more in the start of their career and still building on their portfolio. It’s a lighter, warmer design with a lot of versatility and elements that are perfect for future growth. It feels like stepping into a chapter straight out of a fairytale, with minimal fuss and maximum potential. Fitzrovia is also priced more for beginners at $497 (compared to $897 for Primrose Hill) and when you’re at the start of your journey you have so many costs to consider that this can be worth taking note of.
7. Something Blue by Vanilla & Oak
A completely different design for this line up and one I love recommending is Something Blue. It’s not your typical fine art photography template and that’s what’s so intriguing about it. This one has so much detail and character and it feels very tangible with the image layering, which really suits a lot of photo galleries out there. I personally love the blue it comes with but it is also such a customisable design that you can take this template and transform it to a warmer, burnt orange or baby pink at any moment for a whole new look. Just like Fitzrovia, this one I would also recommend for photographers who don’t need a 30-page website but want a design that attracts their people.
How to actually choose one (when you love them all)
Deciding on the right website template for you is such a personal choice — two photographers can look at the same demo and have opposite visions. So rather than crown a single winner OR get stuck in the analysis period and never get your site launched, here’s how I’d personally narrow it down:
Match the mood to your art. You know your portfolio and your style inside out, so look for a website template that can host your galleries in a way that doesn’t take attention away from them, but complements them so beautifully that it all intentionally feels like part of your brand. (Don’t be afraid to dig deeper and see the customisation potential too if current colours or fonts don’t fit, templates are made to be a starting point!)
Be honest about the page count. If filling 30 pages sounds like a chore, a leaner template such as Fitzrovia or Something Blue will serve you better than an expansive one that overwhelms you each time you open it. (Though a note on this: you can always hide pages or delete what you don’t need from every design)
Buy for the business you’re running now, with a little room to grow — not the one you’re daydreaming about 10 years from now. We don’t know how fast things are changing and when you get stuck on pages for a “maybe-in-the-future-education-podcast-or-wedding-shoe-boutique” — that’s when you delay your launch and miss out on potential clients.
Then trust your intuition. The right template feels like an elevated version of your brand, not someone else’s idea of what a wedding photographer’s site should look like. Being in an industry with so much competition, you want to be able to add your own spin on it in order to stand out.
