Wedding photography portfolio for SnapShot

A portfolio site for SNAPSHOT where galleries are a first-class content type — the team can drop in images, write the brief and publish a new wedding the same day they hand over the shoot.

Problem

The freshest work sells the next booking, and SNAPSHOT needed a portfolio they could keep current themselves rather than going through a developer for every gallery.

Approach

We designed a presentation-first portfolio with a CMS that fits the studio's workflow. Galleries are a structured content type — drop in images, write a brief, publish.

Outcome

The team publishes new weddings as they're ready, and bookings convert against the latest work.

A wedding lives or dies on how it's told. A long timeline of similar photographs is a contact sheet; a paced sequence with the right cropping is a story. SnapShot's site is built around that distinction.

Each project, told as an album

Every wedding on the site is its own album — a paced sequence of images and prose, ordered the way the team wants the day to read. The album, not the gallery, is the unit of work, and the CMS is shaped around that idea.

Storytelling tools in the CMS

Inside the CMS, the team shapes how each album reads. Layout varies per spread, pull quotes drop in where they need to, the masonry grid lays photographs out at their natural proportions, text blocks pause the rhythm where the story calls for it. The toolbox fits how a wedding is actually narrated, so the studio is shaping the work directly rather than bending a generic page builder around it.

Editorial decisions stay with the studio

Pacing, sequencing, the frames that make the final cut — those decisions sit with the team. The CMS gives them the tools to shape the album; the site renders the result; and the studio's voice carries through because they're the ones holding the pen.

Reservations collected in the CMS

The booking form on the site routes new enquiries into the CMS for the team to read, sort and respond to. Each one sends an email notification so the team picks it up before they next sign in.
