Birthday guest camera · Cebu, Philippines
Cebu hosts island weddings, corporate offsites, and family fiestas where most guests fly in for a single weekend — they need a guest camera that works on the first scan. 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.
Cebu, Philippines
From Mactan island resorts to historic Cebu City churches, every event mixes destination-style logistics with local tradition.
Cebu destination weekends pack welcome dinners, beach ceremonies, and Sunday brunch into a short stay. Flying guests land with limited setup time, so the first scan has to work on hotel Wi‑Fi, roaming data, and mixed Android/iOS phones.
Island logistics also fragment the guest list: some stay on Mactan, others in Cebu City, and day-trippers join only for the ceremony. One event link keeps every candid in the same gallery instead of scattered group chats.
Host budgets are typically quoted in PHP. Free tiers cover intimate reunions; larger Mactan resort weddings usually map to paid guest-cap plans before invite printing.
Local tips
Destination guests start shooting at the welcome dinner if the code is already in their room bag.
Outdoor glare and wet hands make one paper card easy to lose — duplicate signage at each setting.
Built for birthdays worldwide

A ten-second 'scan this so we keep the photos' beats a reminder the next morning. Kids' parties: ask one parent to scan first.
