“I am getting married in June and I am really into polaroids. I have multiple polaroid displays around my house and I love being able to capture special moments with it. An idea I had for our guest book was having our guests include the polaroids they take along with their note. I thought this would be a fun way to incorporate one of the things that I love into our special day. The polaroid I have now is a simple instax mini film, nothing super fancy. However, I have some concerns about this: Cha”
“Our wedding is in 3 weeks and we’ve been looking at incorporating a QR code where everyone can upload pictures they’ve taken and everyone has access! Has anyone used any of these platforms and if so, is it worth it? submitted by /u/New_Newt_3286 [link] [comments]”
“I used memtly (aka weddingshare) for mine. There's a feature that lets you review photos and videos before they get displayed, but I wanted people to see their photos on the day since it was unlikely they'd visit the site again so I left the feature off. Thankfully everyone was well behaved. I also had the QR printed on business cards, if you do that keep in mind that there should be a very high contrast between the colours of the code and it's background! I was left with 100 duds be”
“Got it, makes sense. Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain all this, really appreciate it. Learned a lot from your answers 🙏”
“I run a photo shop and we also shoot weddings, around 8 - 16 avg. a month right now. I’ve been thinking about adding something new where we put QR codes on the tables and guests can just scan them and upload whatever photos/videos they take during the wedding. The idea is that it’s not only for the couple. Everyone can get access after, so you might find some random video of yourself dancing or a photo someone took from another table that normally would just stay on their phone forever. I’m tryi”
“One thing I didn't really think about when we started planning was how to collect all the photos guests take. Obviously we'll have the photographer, but guests will capture completely different moments throughout the day. I've seen people use shared albums, Google Drive, QR codes, disposable cameras, etc. I'm leaning toward something where there's a QR code at the wedding and guests can scan it and upload their photos without having to create some complicated account. What wo”
“What are we factoring in for the cost per guest? Is it catering only? Catering and rentals (that guests see/use like chairs, dinnerware, etc)? Something else? Just curious! submitted by /u/itsfriggnbats [link] [comments]”
“I’m looking for an app or a website where guests can easily scan a QR code and add photos of our special day to an album! Preferably without compression please! I just tried Lense app and the video limit is only 60 seconds (and you have to pay)! I also tried GuestCam and it had pretty poor quality photos! Any recommendations will help! submitted by /u/TheRepStylist [link] [comments]”
Dus zoiets https://eventsnap.nl/ ? Zijn al partijen die dit doen
“Instax film isn't the cheapest in the world, and I don't particularly want to double the film budget to allow people to take pictures home. How do we make it clear that all photos go in the book without sounding rude? submitted by /u/bouttagetweird [link] [comments]”
“I like the idea, everyone scans a QR code and the pictures they take is all in one place. So there is no asking did you take a picture of this or of that because everyone's pictures are in this place/website/app. I could definitely see it being useful for the ones getting married. I believe that hard part would be getting guest to actually use.”
“No I would not. A pivot might be allowing event creators to print out a selection of the photos and get it sent to them as physical pictures or a book or something. Plenty of services out there can do that easily now.”
“Was thinking a QR code to a Google Album that people could upload pictures to. Has anyone done this? Was it doable? Any other recommendations? submitted by /u/RadishPrimary3901 [link] [comments]”
“I used an app like this for my wedding, it was myguestwork. It has a feature where you scan a qr and guests can take or upload photos and videos. I had the ability to choose if I wanted guests to view all uploads or keep them private for myself”
“Hey , For the ones that already used for their event web apps to collect the guest photos , did it worth ? The people used them or is just a trend without a real value ? submitted by /u/RoundAd1948 [link] [comments]”
“Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to set up a QR code where guests can share photos they take at my wedding with us. I'm not sure what app/company is the best to go through any insight would be helpful. submitted by /u/ReadyHelicopter8148 [link] [comments]”
“I love the idea of guests getting a limited number of photos to take an upload that we all get to see the next day. I want them to be able to scan a QR code and go without downloading an app. There are several apps that do this (POV, lense, once film, scene) and the most recent posts I can find with reviews are years old. Anyone use any of these recently?? submitted by /u/Abject-Bat-6582 [link] [comments]”
“Hi, I'm getting married September 26th and I'm trying to decide what photo sharing platform has the most features for a good price. I've looked at Pix Wedding, PixelParty, Dots Memories, Wedtrove, Guestsnap, GuestSnap, Wedding Photo Swap. Let me know if you have others or have used any of these listed. I don't know which to use. submitted by /u/StephRoth97 [link] [comments]”

I keep getting ads for something called Guest Pix, has anyone used that before? Or are their other apps people have used? I hate when pictures are shared with lost quality cause of compression needed to send in WhatsApp or email or whatever. But I’d love to see what people capture and w”
