A shared photo album or a QR code gallery?

Shared albums in Google Photos or iCloud are free, keep photos in one place, and can take photos from guests through a link. A gallery made for a wedding is built around the day, with every photo checked before it appears, the couple's rules about posting, and the most loved photos the morning after.

When each is the better choice

A shared album

  • It's free, and your family may already use it.
  • You want to keep everything for good, in your own account.

Our gallery

  • One code on every table, and nothing for guests to set up.
  • Every photo checked before it appears, and your say over posting.
  • The most loved photos, and a reel for every guest who shared, the morning after.

The short version

A shared album is a good free choice if your guests already use the same service and you’re happy to look after it. A wedding gallery does the jobs around the day for you: one code on every table, a check on every photo, your rules about posting, and the mornings after.

Questions

Can we keep the photos for good?
Yes. Download everything before the gallery closes, a year after the wedding.
