Practical wedding guide
How to collect wedding photos from guests
Guest photos are easiest to collect when one destination is introduced early and repeated without changing.

The answer in a minute
Build the album first, test it with a signed-out phone, print the QR in several places and send one follow-up within 24 hours.
Set the destination before the invitation goes out
A stable link can be added to the wedding website and supplier brief long before final stationery is printed.

Wedding guest photo estimator
Plan storage with a low-to-high scenario rather than an invented universal average. Your entries stay in this browser unless you choose to download them.
Your event scenario
Planning range
150–780
central scenario: about 360 uploads; not a universal average
Turn the plan into a working guest album
Create the destination your QR code, prompts and reminders lead to.
Reduce every avoidable choice
Use one album, one code and one instruction. Asking guests to choose between a hashtag, chat, folder and app divides the collection.
Close the loop after the wedding
Thank guests, repeat the link and give a gentle deadline. Then download the originals into two separate backups.

Good to know
Before you choose
What should we decide first?
Build the album first, test it with a signed-out phone, print the QR in several places and send one follow-up within 24 hours. Whichever route you choose, try the full guest journey on a signed-out phone before you print a sign or share the link.
How should we test it before the wedding?
Start here: decide who owns this task. Then ask someone else to repeat the upload on both iPhone and Android, using the exact link your guests will receive.
Where does The Wedding Pics fit?
A stable link can be added to the wedding website and supplier brief long before final stationery is printed. The Wedding Pics gives every guest one private browser upload, with no account to create and no app to install.
