The professional gallery is the day at its most composed. What it cannot hold is the cousin filming the first dance from the floor, the table mid-laugh between courses, or the two friends who slipped outside during the speeches. Those are the photos that go missing.
The photos that leave with the guests
Your photographer captures the planned day beautifully and then, around midnight, goes home. Everything after that, and a great deal in the margins before it, lives only on guests' phones, and almost none of it is ever sent unprompted.
Where to put the code on the day
- On table numbers, the order of service, or a framed sign by the guest book.
- On a screen near the bar once the reception is in full swing.
- In the thank-you message, for the guests who only sort their photos days later.

Common questions
How do wedding guests share their photos without an app?
They scan a QR code on the table or a sign, which opens an upload page in their phone browser. They pick photos or videos and send them straight to your wedding folder, with nothing to install and no account to create.
Where do the photos guests upload at the wedding actually go?
Into a folder in your own Google Drive or OneDrive that you connected when you set the event up. Guests never see anyone else's uploads, and you own the collection from the start.
When should we show the wedding QR code to guests?
Put it on table cards and the order of service, and have the MC mention it once after the speeches when phones are already out. Leaving uploads open for a week also catches the photos people sort through after the day.
