Can clients upload photos to the form?

File upload is planned. For now, ask for a link to a Pinterest board or drive folder.

Can I block a wedding day?

Yes. Add time off for the whole day.

Is a free photography booking form enough for photographers in Tokyo?

For most small photographers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in JPY.

Does the form follow the APPI?

The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the APPI is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.

Can I write the form in Japanese?

Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in Japanese and English.

Privacy: what the APPI means for this form

Nationally, the APPI is the Act on the Protection of Personal Information: state the purpose of use and keep to it.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in Tokyo

Tokyo has no daylight saving, so your timetable never shifts against UTC: UTC+9 every day of the year.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Asia/Tokyo, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Photography booking form".
Set the time zone to Asia/Tokyo and add your opening hours.
Edit the questions above, add the the APPI consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.
