The client: a premium studio that needed predictable bookings

Harman Films is a Vancouver-based wedding photography and videography company known for capturing cinematic wedding moments and authentic emotions.

The studio specializes in wedding videography, wedding photography, pre-wedding shoots, baby shower photography and candid event photography.

As a premium service provider with packages between $2,000 and $4,000, Harman Films needed a consistent pipeline of qualified inquiries from couples actively planning weddings.

The problem: inconsistent, low-quality inquiries

Before launching Meta Ads, Harman Films struggled with consistent lead generation. The business faced three primary challenges.

Challenge 01

Limited inbound leads

Most inquiries came from referrals or organic sources, which made lead flow inconsistent and unpredictable.

Challenge 02

Poor audience targeting

Previous marketing efforts reached a general audience rather than people actively planning weddings, resulting in low-quality inquiries.

Challenge 03

Need for qualified prospects

With services priced between $2,000 and $4,000, the studio needed leads genuinely interested in booking professional wedding photography or videography.

The objective was clear: Generate a steady flow of qualified wedding leads through Meta Ads.

03

The strategy: target, qualify, then start the conversation

We built a Meta Ads strategy focused on reaching couples actively planning weddings. The structure attracted relevant prospects and filtered out low-intent inquiries before they reached the studio.
