Collecting Guest Photos

Your guests take hundreds of photos you'll never see. The photo collector gives them one link to upload straight from their phone, and gives you one album to download.

Setting it up

Open your event, go to the Photos tab, and click Set up Photo Collector. Then click Open editor to make it yours:

  • Write a title and a short greeting for your guests.
  • Add a cover photo and pick colors and fonts to match your wedding.
  • Choose whether to show your date and location.
  • Decide if the album is private or shared with guests (more on that below).

Sharing with guests

  • Send a message (recommended) texts the link to your guests. The night of the wedding or the morning after works well. You can schedule it ahead of time.
  • Copy the link to add to your website, a sign at the reception, or a table card.

Your photo link needs an event web address. If you don't have one yet, set it up in Settings first.

What guests do

Guests open the link, find their name, and tap Add photos to upload from their camera roll. No app or account needed. Each photo is saved with the name of the guest who shared it.

Your album

Click Open album on the Photos tab to see everything guests have uploaded. From there you can:

  • Download a single photo.
  • Click Download all to get every photo in one zip file.
  • Delete photos you don't want in the album.

Albums are private by default, so only you can see them. Turn on Share album with guests and guests can browse everyone's photos on the same page they upload from.

FAQs & Common Gotchas

Download your photos within a year

Photos are kept for one year after your event date. The Photos tab shows the exact date. Use Download all before then.

Guests have to be on your guest list

Guests find their name before uploading. If they aren't on your list, they'll be asked to contact you. Add them to your guest list and they can try again.

Photos only, no videos

The collector accepts photos. Videos can't be uploaded.

The photo link shows a “not found” page

The collector is turned off. Open the editor, turn on Enabled, and save.
