What you get
Every attendee can capture workshops, campfire moments, vendor booths, and side-stage energy from where they already are.
Use the same QR on wristbands, signage, programmes, and slides so the camera stays visible across the weekend.
Keep the gallery hidden while the event is live, review what came in, then reveal the public-facing gallery when ready.
Download guest photos for recap posts, sponsor reports, next year's landing page, or the community newsletter.
Setup tips
Permanent placement beats posters people stop seeing after the first hour.
A 10-second reminder each morning keeps uploads steady across all days, not just day one.
Multi-day events need more room. Start around 80–120 shots per guest and adjust based on event size.
Toronto weddings often blend two cultural traditions — a short note on the QR card that the gallery is private until reveal raises participation across both sides.
