The camera roll problem

Most of your wedding photos end up on your guests’ phones.

Your photographer covers the ceremony and portraits. Everything else that night is on your guests’ phones, sitting in camera rolls and group chats. Most of it never gets sent to you.

  • A bride and groom laughing together at their reception

    Never sent

Ask guests to share while their phones are still out.

The page that tells guests their seat now has a Share your photos button. They upload on the night, and you open one album the next morning.

How it works

Wedding QR code photo sharing starts with your seating chart.

On Collaborate, your seating chart comes with a QR code that finds guests their seat. Guest Photos adds one button to the page it opens.

    It is the same QR code that finds their seat, printed on every table or once on your welcome sign. Their phone camera opens it in the browser.

FAQ

Questions about wedding photo sharing.

Do wedding guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan the QR code on their table with their phone camera, find their seat and tap Share your photos and videos. It all happens in the phone’s browser, with no app to install and no account to make. It is the same QR code as your seat finder, so there is nothing extra to print.

Can we see who uploaded each photo?

Guests pick their name from your guest list when they find their seat, so every photo and video is filed under the guest who sent it, with their table. In your album you can open one guest’s uploads or filter by table.

Can guests upload videos?

Yes. Videos up to 60 seconds and 300 MB each, and photos up to 25 MB. One album holds up to 5,000 photos and 500 videos.

What if someone uploads a photo we don’t want shared?

It stays with you. Every upload waits in your album until you approve it, and other guests only see what you approve. You can unpublish or remove anything at any time, and pause uploads whenever you like.

Are our wedding photos private?

Yes. Location data is stripped from every photo and video. Files are stored privately, and guests and hosts only get short-lived links to them. Each guest sees their own uploads and the photos you approve.

How long can we access our wedding album?

12 months from the 11th upload. Your first 10 uploads are for testing, so you can try it before the day without starting the clock. When hosting ends you have 30 days to download what you want to keep, then the album is deleted. The QR on your tables keeps working for photos even after your seating chart’s own access ends.

We plan events for clients. Can they use it?

Yes. On Event Manager, Guest Photos is paid per event. Send your client a magic link and they can view, download, approve and remove photos without making an account.

Using your album

How do we show the photos on a screen at the venue?

Open your album on the venue’s laptop and click Photo wall. Pick Slideshow, Mosaic, Polaroid or Filmstrip, click Open on this computer, then click once for full screen. Only photos you share go up, newest first, and a photo you hide leaves the screen within 10 seconds.

How do we sort through hundreds of photos?

Open any photo in your album. Press F to heart it, X to hide it and S to share it with your guests. The next photo is already loaded. On a phone, swipe from one photo to the next. To find the speeches, narrow it to one guest or one table.

Can we put our favorites in order and choose a cover?

Yes. Every photo you heart goes to Highlights. Drag them into the order you want and pick one for the cover. Guests see the cover at the top of their album, and the photo wall opens on it.

How do we download all the photos?

Click Download in your album. Choose your favorites in your order, everything with one folder per guest, or everything from one guest. Each is one ZIP at full quality.
