Ten optional scavenger hunt prompts

Pick a few prompts and put them beside the album code. Ask guests to respect anyone who does not want to be photographed and avoid interrupting the professional team.

  • A table selfie
  • A reunion between old friends
  • A detail from the table setting
  • The couple laughing
  • A favorite pair of dancing shoes
  • A group showing off their best dance move
  • A quiet candid moment, with permission
  • The guestbook table
  • Your favorite reception decoration
  • A goodbye hug
How it works

From printed QR card to full wedding archive.

Use the same flow for table cards, welcome signs, invitations, live TV mode, and after-wedding reminder messages.

STEP 01

Create your private album

Add your names, date, and a memorable wed.photo URL that is easy to print on cards and signs.

STEP 02

Print or share the QR code

Place the QR at tables, the bar, the welcome sign, and inside the TV slideshow so guests always see it.

STEP 03

Guests upload without friction

Guests scan with their camera, choose photos or videos, and upload from the browser. No app, no account, no group chat.

STEP 04

Download everything after

Paid plans include full-resolution ZIP export. Download and verify a backup before your album storage period ends.

Your wedding album

One link: QR cards, uploads, gallery, TV mode, and downloads.

A short wed.photo URL is easier to trust on a printed card and easier for guests to type if their camera struggles.

FAQ

Do guests need to download an app?

No. wed.photo opens in the guest's phone browser after they scan the QR code. They can upload photos and videos without installing anything.

Can guests upload videos too?

Yes. Celebration and Signature albums can collect both photos and videos, which is useful for speeches, dance floor clips, and behind-the-scenes moments.

Is the wedding album private?

Your album is accessible to people with the link or QR code, including anyone the link is forwarded to. You can use your custom wed.photo URL on printed cards and signs.

Can we show uploads on a TV during the party?

Yes. On Celebration and Signature, TV mode turns your live album into a reception slideshow with a QR code on screen, so more guests join in while the event is happening.
