Wedding · Private gallery · QR code

The wedding photo gallery everyone at the reception is looking at

A Eventphoto.io gallery is one page that every guest with the code can open — to add their own pictures and to scroll what the other tables have put in. It is closed to anyone without the code and invisible to search engines, and the host page behind it downloads the whole thing at once.

Shared on purpose

Guests see what guests have added. Somebody spots the shot of their own table, sends three of their own back, and the grid grows by itself for the rest of the night.

Closed to everyone else

No code, no gallery. The page is kept out of search results entirely, and you can put a PIN code in front of it if the QR square is printed somewhere public.

Yours to take away

Ask for the download from the host page (and type in the one-time code we email you, if it asks for one). Everything is packed into one ZIP, and the link arrives by email, usually within a few minutes — no saving images one by one, and no charge for it on the free plan.

In short

A wedding photo gallery is one private page, opened with a QR code or event code, where guests upload their photos and browse everyone else’s. It is never public and never indexed, and the couple’s private host page downloads it all as a single ZIP.

Free: 20 photos per guest, kept 14 days from when you create the event
Paid: $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) per event for unlimited photos and videos per guest, kept up to 12 months
One-time payment. No subscription and no fee per guest.

Why the gallery has to be shared to work

A private upload box collects photos from the sort of guest who fills in forms. A gallery that every guest can see collects photos from everyone, because the moment somebody sees themselves in the grid they go looking through their own camera roll for something to add. Between the main course and the speeches, that loop is doing more work than any reminder you could print.

It also gives the room something to do. Guests at table eleven who have not met the ones at table three end the night having seen the same photographs, and the couple — who were in the middle of it and saw none of it — get the evening from twelve different vantage points instead of one.

Shared does not mean open. The gallery exists at an address nobody can guess, it is blocked from search engines, and only the people you handed the code to ever see it. What sits behind the private host page is different again: that is where the event is managed, individual uploads are removed and the whole gallery is downloaded.

Open it, fill it, take it home

Open the gallery

Create the event and the gallery exists right away, with a QR code and a short event code that open it. Pick an accent color if you want it to match the day.

Let guests fill it

They scan, add photos from the camera roll, and give a display name the first time so you can see whose shots are whose. From then on they can browse everything anyone has added.

Empty it before it closes

Your private host page downloads the whole gallery as one ZIP. Do it in good time — a free gallery and its files are deleted when the window runs out.

Wedding photo gallery — frequently asked questions

What is a shared wedding photo gallery?

One web page that holds every photo your guests took, instead of a hundred camera rolls that hold a few each. Guests open it with a QR code or a short event code, add their own shots, and see everybody else’s in the same grid as the evening goes on.

Who can see the gallery — just us, or the guests too?

Everyone who has the code sees the same gallery. It is a shared room, not a private inbox, and that is deliberate: guests who can see what has already been posted keep adding to it. Nothing about the event is public or searchable, and the private host page is what manages the event and downloads everything at once.

Can we stop strangers finding it?

The gallery only opens for someone holding the code, and the page is kept out of search engines entirely. If you want a second lock — say the code is printed on a sign near a public bar — you can set a PIN code that guests type before the gallery opens.

Can we delete a photo we would rather not keep?

Yes. From the host page you can remove individual uploads, so the blurry seventeenth picture of the cake or the one nobody wants online goes away for everyone. You can also set the gallery’s accent color and decide when it opens to guests.

How long does the gallery stay up?

14 days on the free plan and 12 months on the paid one, counted from when you create the event rather than from the wedding date. A free event is deleted with its files when the window ends, and that cannot be undone — so download first.

How do we get everything out of the gallery?

Open your private host page and ask for the download (if the page asks for a code, a one-time code is emailed to the address the event was created with). Everything is packed into one ZIP and the link is emailed to you when it is ready, usually within a few minutes — full-size files, not tapped out of a chat thread one at a time. Free events can do this too.

Can we find one particular photo months later?

On the paid plan the gallery is tagged automatically by what is in each picture — cake, speech, dancing, flowers — so you can filter a long gallery down to the handful you are after. Tagging covers the first 500 photos of an event, and photos rather than video. It reads the contents of a photo; it does not recognize faces or sort by person.

Does the gallery take video as well?

On the paid plan, yes — up to 200 MB a file. That is the part couples miss most from a photo-only album: the sound of the room during the speech, the first dance from a guest’s angle, the noise when the sparklers come out.

Open your gallery in the run-up to the day

Free to start: up to 20 photos from every guest, with no limit on how many guests join in. $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once per event adds video, the guest book and a 12-month window to come back to it all.
