A second 'camera' at every table
Guests cover the angles you can't be at. Your hero shots stay yours; the table-level candids fill in the rest of the story.
For photographers · Los Angeles, United States
LA events sprawl across estates, beachside venues, and creative warehouses, so guests are often outside in changing light all day — exactly the candid window a guest camera covers best. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for photographers, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

What you get
Guests cover the angles you can't be at. Your hero shots stay yours; the table-level candids fill in the rest of the story.
Offer it as a value-add in your wedding or event package. Your couples get more photos; you don't shoot more hours.
Combine your edits with the guest roll for a richer, more authentic delivery — the candids you couldn't take, alongside the work you did.
Guests run the QR flow themselves. No setup at the venue, no extra gear, no second shooter to manage.
Setup tips
Send the couple the QR with their package. They handle the table cards; you keep your focus on the shoot.
20–30 shots per guest stops the gallery becoming pure noise and keeps the standout candids easy to spot.
Pick the best 40–60 from the guest roll and slot them into the album alongside your own edits. The couple sees one cohesive story, not two galleries.
LA's golden hour is the strongest candid window — remind guests to shoot just before sunset and you'll capture the best light of the day.
