You are planning a wedding, and you want the whole day on record: the getting-ready scramble, the ceremony, the dance floor, and the moments your photographer was never near. You do not want to chase 80 guests for photos for months afterwards, and you do not want your pictures sitting in a stranger's app that sells your data. You want one place, your place, where the story of your day collects itself.
What is hard right now
- My photographer can only be in one place, so I never see the moments happening at table six or on the other side of the dance floor.
- Guests say they will send photos later, and then I spend weeks chasing them across texts, group chats and email threads.
- Half my guests are on iPhone and half are on Android, and I do not want anyone to have to make an account just to share a picture.
- I do not want my wedding photos living in an ad-supported app that sells my data.
Scenarios
The ceremony and the cocktail hour
You put a QR code on the welcome sign. Guests scan it with their phone camera and join through the invite link in their browser, with no account needed. Your cousin's shot of you walking down the aisle lands in the same album as everyone else's, instead of sitting in a camera roll you will never see.
Use Moments to split your day into stages. The ceremony and the reception can each have their own QR code and their own reveal timing, and guests move between them without switching apps. If you want a head start on the setup, the guide to collecting wedding photos from guests without the chaos walks through the planning side.
The reception and the after-party
Aunt Sarah is on Android and your college friends are on iPhone. Both join the same event from the invite link, and neither has to create an account first. Installing the iOS or Android app is optional, so nobody is stuck at the door downloading something.
By midnight the dance floor candids are in the album, the ones your photographer was never going to catch from the other side of the room. You can filter by photographer to see everything one friend caught. For more on how couples set this up, see wedding guest photo upload.
The morning after
Pick your reveal mode when you create the event. Choose During so guests see photos live, After the event so the gallery unlocks when the event ends, or Additional delay so it unlocks a set number of hours after. The first look at the whole story can be a moment of your choosing.
Then export your favorites for the album and the thank-you cards. It is free to start, with up to 7 guest uploaders per event. If you invite more people, SYNC PRO is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, that expands the guest and photo limits for a single event. Upgrade again only when you create a larger event.
Keeping the day private
Your photos are encrypted in transit, stored in event-scoped buckets and protected by per-event row-level security. sync.camera does not sell your photos or your data, shows no ads and does no cross-app tracking.
If you ever decide to leave, deleting your account removes the events you own and their photos within 30 days. Your wedding stays among the people you invited.
Features that make this work
Reveal modes
You decide when the story unfolds: live during the day, when the event ends, or a set number of hours after, so the first look at the guest photos can be a moment of your choosing.
QR code wedding photo album
One QR code on the welcome sign or table cards lets guests join from any modern phone browser with no account, so you stop chasing photos afterwards.
Guest upload
Every guest becomes a second shooter, so the moments your photographer missed end up in your album.
Privacy controls
Your wedding stays among the people you invited: no ads, no selling your photos, no cross-app tracking.
Digital wedding guestbook
A guestbook made of photos instead of signatures, in the same album as the rest of your day.
