How Tim McGowan Studio Simplified Its High-Volume Photography Workflow with Snapizzi

From the Snapizzi Team:
This testimonial was originally published as a customer case study. We've reformatted it for the web while preserving Tim's original experience and feedback.

For more than 35 years, I've photographed portraits, seniors, families, pets, special events, and aerial photography throughout central Pennsylvania. As my event photography business continued to grow, so did the amount of time required to organize and post thousands of photographs after every event.

Our previous workflow depended on manually sorting every image before uploading them into a single online gallery. Customers often spent a long time searching through hundreds or even thousands of event photographs just to find their own images. Besides creating extra work for us, it wasn't the best experience for our customers.

Privacy was another concern. Everyone attending an event could potentially browse through the same gallery, making it difficult to provide customers with a more personalized and private viewing experience.

I knew there had to be a better way.

After implementing Snapizzi, nearly every part of our post-event workflow became easier. Instead of manually organizing photographs, Snapizzi automatically matched images and dramatically reduced the amount of time required to prepare galleries for our customers.

One of the biggest improvements was speed.

Instead of spending nearly an entire day sorting and uploading event photographs, we were able to post 1,700 images online in less than two hours. What previously would've taken approximately 24 hours was now completed the same evening while the excitement from the event was still fresh.

Because our galleries were available much sooner, customers were able to begin viewing and purchasing photographs almost immediately. Faster posting also meant increased sales opportunities while interest in the event was still high.

Snapizzi also improved customer privacy by allowing guests to quickly find only the photographs that belonged to them instead of searching through an entire event gallery.

The combination of workflow automation, faster publishing, improved privacy, and a much better customer experience completely changed how we handled event photography.

The support from the Snapizzi team has also been outstanding. Whenever we've had questions or needed assistance, they've always been responsive and genuinely committed to helping us succeed.

Today, Snapizzi continues to save our team valuable time after every event, allowing us to spend less time behind a computer and more time photographing our clients and growing our business.
