Create your event

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

The short answer

Pick a setup that fits your space and what you want guests to take home. A rented booth can provide prints; a phone-photo corner can collect digital moments throughout the reception.

A simple plan

Pick a spot

Find a visible corner that does not block traffic.

Plan the light

Check the space after dark, not only in daylight.

Add a prompt

Give guests an easy reason to take a photo.

Collect the photos

Place a shared album QR code nearby.

Choose your setup

A booth and a shared album do different jobs. The booth creates a place for posed pictures; the album gathers the candid shots guests take around the room as well.

Make the corner easy to use

Place it near the reception rather than in a separate empty room. Keep props within reach, test the lighting from a guest's phone, and give the venue space to move around the setup.

Try this sign: “Take a photo together, then scan to share it with us.”
