**Wedding photos**

# What Is the Best Way to Share Wedding Photos?

Choose a simple way to collect and share wedding photos with guests.

[**Create your event**](https://ownpix.app/#pricing)

Guests can share from their browser, with no app to download.

## The short answer

For a full guest list, use one shared album link or QR code and tell people when the photos will be available. For a few family photos, an existing shared library or direct message may be enough.

## A simple plan

### **Choose your audience**

Decide who should see and contribute photos.

### **Pick a destination**

Use an album, folder, or message that fits the group.

### **Share one route**

Give guests a link or a printed QR code.

### **Save your favorites**

Keep your own copy after the event.

## Compare the choices

| **Method** | **Best for** | **Keep in mind** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| QR event album | Collecting guest photos in one place | Anyone with the link can access the revealed gallery |
| [**Google Photos**](https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6131416) or [**Apple Shared Albums**](https://support.apple.com/en-us/108314) | Family already using a shared library | Check guest access and contributor settings |
| Cloud folder | Passing files to a smaller group | Set permissions for the people adding files |
| Direct messages | Sharing a few photos quickly | Pictures can be scattered across conversations |

Ask your photographer about their gallery and delivery terms. A guest album can collect a different view of the day, but it is not a substitute for the photographer's delivery.

## Send a clear invitation

Place the event QR code at the reception and add “Scan to share your photos.” Send the same link after the wedding for guests who upload from home. If the gallery reveals later, tell people when they can return.

## Keep the collection

Download the pictures before your album's storage period ends. Keep a second copy on a drive or in cloud storage you control.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix gives guests a browser-based upload page linked to your event QR code. Choose when the gallery opens and download the collection before its storage period ends.
