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 · Paris, France
A guest camera made for photographers in Paris.
Paris weddings and milestone events often combine a registry-style ceremony with a long evening reception, where guests want to capture both the formal and the late-night candid energy. 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.
Paris, France
For photographers in Paris
Paris venues lean on hôtels particuliers, riverside spaces, and converted ateliers across the arrondissements.
Paris events mix formal ceremony energy with long evening receptions in hôtels particuliers, ateliers, or venues outside the périphérique. Guests want candids of both the composed portraits and the late-night dance floor.
Bilingual guest lists are common. Cards that include a short French line under the English prompt outperform English-only signage, especially with older relatives.
EUR pricing and GDPR-aware storage messaging matter for French hosts comparing vendors. Keep the privacy note visible near the QR.
- Hôtels particuliers in the Marais
- Seine-side reception venues
- Château settings outside Paris
- Atelier-style spaces in the 11th
PicShots is EU GDPR aware: uploads are private, served via short-lived event links, and the host can delete the event at any time.
