Wedding · Guest photos · QR code

Wedding photo sharing without an app, a login or a group chat

Your photographer is with you for the first look and the cake. They are not at table nine when your grandmother laughs at the best man’s toast, and they have packed up long before the last song. A hundred guests are taking photos on their phones that evening, and Eventphoto.io collects all of them in one place.

Create wedding event free →I’m a guest

Scan, upload, done — no app, no account

One destination, not nine

No family WhatsApp group, no AirDrop line at the bar, no shared album half the guest list cannot open. Everyone scans the same code and everything ends up in the same gallery.

The lazy guest still takes part

Nothing to download and no account to make. The camera app recognizes the code, the browser opens, they tap twice. It is easy enough that people actually do it.

One download, not four hundred taps

From your host page you download every photo as a single ZIP, on the free plan too, and every video on the paid plan, so the whole evening ends up in one folder on your laptop, not spread across six chat threads.

In short

Wedding photo sharing with Eventphoto.io: you print one QR code, guests scan it with the phone camera and add their photos, with no app and no account, into one private gallery, and you download every photo as one ZIP from your host page. Free: 20 photos per guest, photos only, kept 14 days. Paid: $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once per event for unlimited photos and videos per guest, videos up to 200 MB, the digital guest book and 12 months of storage. No subscription.

Scan, upload, done — no app, no account

The best pictures of your wedding are on someone else’s phone

Ask any couple six months on and they will tell you the same thing: the shot they love most is the one a cousin took from the wrong angle. Your father wiping his eyes during the speech. The flower girl asleep under the cake table at ten thirty. Nobody was commissioned to take those, so they exist only where they were taken.

Getting guests to shoot is never the difficulty. Getting the files afterwards is. You send a polite message to sixty people, four reply, two of them send screenshots, and the rest promise to do it over the weekend. By the time you are back from honeymoon the moment for asking again has passed.

Collecting during the party is what changes the outcome. A guest who has just photographed the sparkler tunnel will upload it while still standing there; the same guest, three weeks later, will not. That is the whole idea: one code, nothing to install, and the photos arrive the same night they were taken.

Three things to do, and none of them on the day

Create the event in the wedding week

Give it a name and you have a QR code and a short event code in under a minute. No account needed: the private link you get opens your host page. Create it close to the day, because the storage time starts on the day you create the event.

Get the code in front of seated guests

On the table numbers, the back of the menu, the bar, the welcome sign. Guests scan while they are waiting for the first course, which is when they have their phones out anyway.

Download everything when you are home

Open your host page and request everything as one ZIP. The download link arrives by email, usually within minutes. No chasing anyone, no saving photos one at a time.

What the guests see when they scan

A page with your names on it, an upload button, and the pictures other guests have already added. They choose from the camera roll or shoot something there and then, type a name the first time so you know who sent what, and that is it — no verification email, no password to invent at a wedding.

Because everyone with the code opens the same gallery, the table next to you can see the photo you just posted. That is half the reason people keep uploading: everyone watches the photos come in, and the guests who start early get the others to join in.

The disposable-camera idea, minus the film

Cameras on the tables were always a lovely idea with a rough ending: half the frames come back black, somebody pockets one, and the lab bills you weeks later for the blur. The instinct behind them is right, though — guests should be the ones shooting.

A code on the table keeps the instinct and drops the film. Guests use the camera they already know how to hold, in the light they are actually standing in, and you have the files before the venue has finished clearing the glasses.

Questions couples ask before the invitations go out

What do guests actually have to do?

They point their phone camera at the QR code, or type the short event code on Eventphoto.io. A page with your names on it opens in the browser. They tap to add photos, pick the ones they like from their camera roll and type a name the first time, so you can tell who took what. That is all.

Will guests who are bad with phones manage it?

Usually better than you expect, because there is nothing to install and no account to log in to. Scanning a code with the camera is something most people already do for restaurant menus, and iPhone photos are accepted as they are (HEIC), so nobody has to convert anything.

How many photos can each guest send?

On the free plan, up to 20 photos per guest — photos only — with no limit on how many guests upload, so a 150-person wedding costs nothing. The paid plan is $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once for the event, with unlimited photos and videos per guest.

Can guests send video, not just stills?

Yes, on the paid plan. A guest can film the speech they are sitting closest to, or a ten-second message from the bar, and upload it through the same code — up to 200 MB per file, straight from their phone.

Who can see the photos guests upload?

Everyone with the QR code or the event code can see the photos, which is half the fun at the reception. The gallery is private: never public and never in search results. If you want extra protection, you can set a PIN that guests type first. Only you can manage the event and download everything, from your host page.

How long do we have to download everything?

A free event is kept for 14 days from the day you create it and is then deleted along with its files, so create it in the wedding week and download before you leave for the honeymoon. A paid event is kept for 12 months. Either way, you download everything as one ZIP from your host page, and that download costs nothing extra.

Set it up in the week of the wedding

It takes about a minute and costs nothing to start. Create the event a few days out, print the code with the place cards, and every photo taken between the first arrival and the last taxi ends up in one gallery you can download.
