Getting everyone's photos, honestly.
How to collect the photos from a room full of people — what each method actually gets you, what it costs, and where it falls over. Including the times the answer isn't us.
How to collect photos from your wedding guests: 5 methods compared
Five methods work: a QR code that opens a camera in the browser, a shared cloud album link, a hashtag, physical disposable cameras, and asking in a group chat. The QR code collects the most, because it is the only one that does not depend on a guest doing something after the wedding is over.

Shared album vs event camera app: which actually collects the photos
A shared cloud album is free, unlimited and already on everyone's phone, but it only receives the photos guests remember to send. An event camera app captures in the moment, so nothing depends on follow-up — at the cost of a per-event fee, and browser capture makes smaller files than a phone's own camera app.

Wedding photo QR codes: how they work and how to set one up

Are disposable cameras on wedding tables worth it? An honest answer
Sometimes. They produce a handful of genuinely good frames and cost roughly the same as a digital alternative once developing is included. The failure is physics: a single-use flash reaches about three metres, so most frames shot across a dark reception come back black. Use them on lit tables, not dance floors.

One code, no download for guests, and every photo collected as it's taken rather than chased for afterwards.
