How to collect wedding photos from guests

Your guests will take more photos than your photographer. Most of them you will never see, because they stay on two hundred phones. Here is how to get them, and why a QR code beats the alternatives.

  • 200 photos free — no registration
  • QR code guests scan with their phones
  • Live slideshow on the big screen in real-time
  • Works on all devices without an app

The setup, step by step

  1. 1

    Create the event

    Give it a name. You get a QR code and a link at once. On Snapr this takes under a minute and needs no account.

  2. 2

    Put the QR code where guests sit

    Print it on the table cards or one sign per table. Add one line: “Scan to share your photos with us.”

  3. 3

    Put it on the screen too

    If you run the live slideshow, the code sits in the corner of the screen all evening. Guests who missed the card see it there.

  4. 4

    Ask once, out loud

    Have the toastmaster mention it before dinner. One sentence doubles the number of uploads.

  5. 5

    Download everything the week after

    One file with every photo and video. Share the link with family so they can browse.

What works and what does not

  • A WhatsApp group: free, but photos arrive compressed and half the guests never join.
  • A shared Google Photos or iCloud album: full quality, but every guest needs the right account and an invitation.
  • A wedding hashtag: fewer people post publicly than five years ago, and private accounts never show up.
  • Disposable cameras: charming, expensive, and most frames are the ceiling.
  • A QR code with a live slideshow: nothing to install, every guest included, and the photos on the wall while the party is on.

Questions people ask

How many photos will guests upload?

Around three per guest is a fair estimate. A 100-guest wedding produces about 300 uploads, more if the slideshow is running, because guests see their photos appear and take more.

Do guests need an app?

No. The QR code opens a web page in the phone's browser.

What does it cost?

Snapr is free for 200 uploads and $19 once for unlimited uploads kept a year. Other tools charge $29 to $99 per event.
