THE MILESTONE APP

App Creation through Adobe XD & Branding Identity through Adobe Illustrator

PRoJECT OVERVIEW

In recent years, mobile app developers and wedding photography industry professionals have found innovative ways to use technology to assist wedding photographers in almost every aspect of their business. There are quite a few apps developed that assist with posing clients, client management (invoicing and contracts), and even shortcuts to plug in wedding information using the calendar and notepad apps on smartphones, conveniently synchronizing with other devices such as tablets or smart watches. However, there are none that address the user needs of photographers directly and funnel all of their main objectives of a wedding into one all-encompassing platform.

The inspiration behind this project was inspired by my own personal experiences as a wedding vendor. Now entering my 4th year as a wedding photographer and 2nd official year as a full-time small business owner, I have had my fair share of frustrations and lessons that I’ve had to learn...the hard way. The objective of this mobile experience is to alleviate some main pain points for photographers in their organization of timeline and shot lists. So, the central question that I wanted to focus on in this project was: Is there a better way to prepare all day-of timelines and shot lists for a wedding day as a photographer?

ABOUT THE APP

Milestone is a mobile app designed to keep wedding photographers on time, on prompt, and on task throughout an entire day of a wedding. The target user for this project would aim towards assisting wedding photographers on day-of coordination of all photos that need to be taken per request of the couple, as well as standard shots from a general list from the photographer. This experience will be intended to assist photographers no matter if they’re a novice or a seasoned pro with weddings.
