How to Collect 500+ Photos at Your Wedding Using a QR Code

The Problem with Wedding Photos

You spend months planning every detail of your wedding. But when it's over, you realise you have a handful of photos from your photographer — and nothing from the actual moments your guests captured on their phones.

The candid shot of your nani wiping a tear. Your friends photobombing during dinner. Your little cousin dancing like nobody's watching. These are the photos you actually want — and they're sitting in 200 different WhatsApp albums.

The Old Way (And Why It Fails)

The usual solution is a WhatsApp group. But here's what actually happens: - Guests upload to the group in batches, weeks after the event - Quality is compressed by WhatsApp (up to 70% quality reduction) - You spend hours downloading individual photos - Some guests never share at all

The QR Code Solution

SnapTogether solves this in one step: print a QR code on your table cards.

Guests scan it with their phone camera, land on a beautiful upload page, and share photos directly in full HD — no app download, no account required.

Here's what a typical SnapTogether wedding looks like:

• Pre-event: Create your event (2 minutes), download the QR code
• Print: Add QR to table cards, standees, or display on a screen
• During: Guests scan and upload throughout the evening
• After: Download all photos as a ZIP in original quality

Real Numbers

At a 200-person wedding in Delhi, hosts typically collect: - 312 photos during the event itself - 87 unique guests who upload (43% participation) - Average 3.6 photos per guest

That's 312 memories you'd otherwise never have.

Setting Up Takes 60 Seconds

1. Go to SnapTogether and create a free account 2. Click "Create Event" — add name, date, optional PIN 3. Download your QR code 4. Print it (we recommend 10cm × 10cm minimum for easy scanning)

Your gallery is live instantly. Guests can start uploading before the event even begins.

Pro Tips for Maximum Photo Collection

Place QR codes in high-traffic areas: Food stations, photo booths, and bar areas get the most scans.

Announce it during the event: "Friends, scan the QR code on your table to share your photos directly with us!" works better than hoping people notice.

Set a PIN for privacy: Only guests at your event can upload — keeps randos out.

Enable the welcome message: Personalise the upload page with "Thank you for celebrating our special day — share your photos with us!"
