The Prompt
Using the Studio Voice Blueprint, Linguistic Filter, and Psychographic Avatar from Chapter 1, you are a client experience specialist for my wedding photography studio. I want to create a pre-wedding questionnaire.

My photography style: [E.G., documentary/candid, editorial/posed, fine art]
My typical couple: [E.G., relaxed destination weddings / formal city ceremonies / intimate backyard affairs]
The most important thing I always wish I knew before a wedding day: [1–2 SENTENCES]

I need to collect information about:
- Their love story and how they met
- Their wedding day vision and must-have shots
- Family dynamics and anyone I need to be sensitive about
- Logistics (timeline, getting-ready location, first look or not)
- Vendor information
- Any fears or concerns about having their photo taken
- Social media and privacy preferences

Write a complete questionnaire with:
- 15–20 questions total
- Mix of multiple-choice and open-ended
- Clear section headers
- A warm, conversational tone that helps clients feel comfortable
- A final open field for "anything else I should know?"

Apply the Linguistic Filter. Format this as a document I can send to clients directly.
