Inspiration

We noticed that people often get so caught up in taking photos of their special moments that they miss out on actually living them. In Hyderabad’s bustling celebrations and everyday life, the magic often happens between the posed shots — and that’s where FollowedBy comes in.

What it does

FollowedBy provides “Photography-as-a-Service” for individuals, couples, families, and small groups. You book us for a specific date and time, and our professional photographer follows you discreetly to capture candid, high-quality moments. You enjoy the experience; we make sure it’s preserved forever.

How we built it

We used a no-code web builder for rapid development, integrated Calendly for bookings, and Razorpay for Indian payment processing. TailwindCSS with a warm, cinematic palette created a premium yet approachable design. For imagery, we curated Hyderabad-specific stock photos to match the cultural and emotional tone of our service.

Challenges we ran into

Finding culturally relevant, high-quality images that matched our concept

Integrating Indian payment gateways smoothly in a short timeframe

Ensuring the booking process felt simple and mobile-friendly

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a functional multi-page site in under two hours

Created an emotional and brand-consistent design

Integrated real booking and payment features to demonstrate real-world viability

What we learned

Emotional storytelling increases user connection to a service

Minimal but intentional animations create a premium feel without slowing performance

Realistic demo data (images, testimonials, bookings) can elevate a hackathon pitch significantly

What's next for FollowedBy
