Private Wedding Memory Album
Design a couple-owned wedding site for sharing selected photos, stories, and guest contributions with clear privacy controls.
The brief
Understand the problem
Background
A wedding album can preserve meaningful moments, but guests may not want every photo public or downloadable. Couples also need a simple way to collect contributions without surrendering ownership or exposing an event indefinitely.
User context
Maya and Theo want to share a curated album with wedding guests and invite private notes. One family member has asked not to appear in publicly accessible images.
Product problem
The experience should feel personal and celebratory while making audience, contribution, download, and removal choices unmistakable.
Objective
Create the album welcome, story gallery, guest contribution, and privacy management experience for a recently married couple.
What to design
Define the experience
Required experience
- Enter through an invited guest link
- Browse moments organized by story rather than file order
- Contribute a photo or written memory
- Request removal or manage album access
Screens and states
- Album welcome
- Story gallery
- Guest contribution
- Privacy and access settings
Core user flow
Follow the critical path
- 01
A guest opens an expiring invitation link
- 02
They browse the ceremony story with captions
- 03
They upload a photo and choose whether the couple may share it
- 04
The couple hides a group image while reviewing a removal request
