Practical wedding guide
How to moderate live wedding photo uploads
Moderation works best when the rules are agreed before the first borderline image appears.
The short answer
Nominate one trusted person, give them a short approve/hold/reject policy and keep all pending items off the public display.
Approve for the audience, archive for the couple
A funny private candid may belong in the couple’s download but not on a family slideshow. Publishing and preservation are separate decisions.
Use hold when context is missing
If consent, identity or appropriateness is unclear, wait. The couple can decide after the event without creating a live incident.
Keep moderation quiet
Do not publicly shame contributors or announce rejected photos. The purpose is to protect the experience, not police guests.
Questions, answered
Before you choose
Do guests need an app for how to moderate live wedding photo uploads?
No. With The Wedding Pics, guests scan a QR code or open a private link and upload from the browser. They do not create an account.
Can the couple review photos before guests see them?
Yes. Gallery visibility and moderation are controlled by the couple, so new uploads can be reviewed before they appear publicly or in a slideshow.
Can we download the original files?
Yes. Couples can download individual originals or prepare a whole-album ZIP export during the storage period included with their plan.
One QR code. Every guest perspective.
Create a private album in minutes. Guests upload from their browser; you choose what appears and keep the original files.
