A guest camera made for birthdays in Canada.
Canadian weddings and family events lean on multicultural guest lists, all-season venues, and weekend-long celebrations — exactly where a single QR camera flow shines. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for birthdays, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

For birthdays in Canada
From Toronto warehouse venues to Whistler ski lodges and Quebec City heritage halls, Canadian events span urban, mountain, and historic settings.
Canadian celebrations mix city warehouses, heritage halls, and mountain or cottage retreats. Multicultural guest lists and bilingual households benefit from a no-account flow everyone can open.
Seasonality matters: winter lodge events and summer lakefront weekends need the same simple scan, with signage that survives coats, gloves, and outdoor cocktail hours.
CAD pricing and clear guest caps help hosts compare against booth vendors on a single quote sheet.
- Toronto warehouse and ballroom venues
- Vancouver and Whistler retreat venues
- Quebec City heritage halls
- Muskoka and Banff cottage retreats

Why birthday photos always disappear
- You always say 'send me the photos' and never get them
- Group chat photo dumps die in the camera roll
- The best shots are scattered across 8 phones you'll never see
- Shared albums are too much friction for casual guests
What you get
Tuned for birthdays in Canada
Works for kids' parties and milestone bashes
Same flow whether it's a 6th birthday at a trampoline park or a 50th at a restaurant. Hosts who used disposable cameras finally have a digital version that works.
Free for up to 10 guests
Most small birthdays stay on the free tier forever. Pay once only when the guest list goes bigger.
Photos that won't expire in your camera roll
Your gallery stays put long after the party ends. Pull it up next year for a throwback or hand-pick prints for the wall.
Setup tips
Setup tips for a great party gallery — Canada
1 Drop the QR on the favors table
Or tape it to the cake stand. Guests scan when they're already standing there, not when you remind them later.
2 Skip the per-guest limit for short parties
Under 3 hours, a generous shot allowance works better than a tight one — there's no time for spam.
3 Reveal the gallery during cake
Live shared gallery while everyone's still in the room beats sending a link two days later that nobody opens.
4 Pair the QR with bilingual signage if relevant
Canadian guest lists often blend English and French speakers — adding a short bilingual line to the QR card improves uptake noticeably.

What if guests take too many photos?
