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.

A guest camera made for photographers in United States.
Across the US, weddings and corporate events run on tight venue contracts and mixed guest devices — the only upload flow that consistently works for everyone is one QR scanned in the browser. 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.

For photographers in United States
From New England barn weddings to Texas ranches and California vineyards, US events span dramatically different venue styles.
US weddings and corporate events span barns, vineyards, ranches, and city hotels, but they share tight venue contracts and mixed guest devices. A browser QR is the rare upload path that works without fighting IT or venue AV rules.
Programmes are nearly universal. Putting the code there beats separate signage that gets lost in floral arrangements.
USD catalog pricing and guest-cap tiers map cleanly onto US vendor budgets planners already compare line by line.

- New England barn weddings
- Texas ranch and Hill Country settings

Print the QR on the programme
Every guest opens it — that is the highest-yield placement in most US weddings.
Set headcount before stationery
Plus-ones inflate lists late; lock the tier before you print table cards.
Built for photographers
The shots you can't be at
- Your couples keep asking for table-level candids you weren't on
- You don't want to babysit a second-shooter for the kids' table
- Disposable cameras at every reception ruin half their rolls
- Bundled add-ons are hard to source and harder to support
What you get
Tuned for photographers in United States
Bundle it into your packages
Offer it as a value-add in your wedding or event package. Your couples get more photos; you don't shoot more hours.
Hand off a denser final gallery
Combine your edits with the guest roll for a richer, more authentic delivery — the candids you couldn't take, alongside the work you did.
Stays out of your way on the day
Guests run the QR flow themselves. No setup at the venue, no extra gear, no second shooter to manage.
Setup tips
How photographers use PicShots — United States
1 Set it up at contract signing
Send the couple the QR with their package. They handle the table cards; you keep your focus on the shoot.
2 Keep the shot limit conservative
20–30 shots per guest stops the gallery becoming pure noise and keeps the standout candids easy to spot.
3 Curate guest shots into your delivery
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.
4 Place the QR on the welcome program
US weddings nearly always print a programme — keeping the QR there means every guest sees it without separate signage.
FAQ
Common questions
How do guests join a PicShots event for photographers in United States?
Share one QR code or link. Guests in United States open it in their mobile browser, enter a display name, and start shooting — no app install and no guest account. Uploads land in your host-controlled gallery.
What United States venues work well with a guest camera?
From New England barn weddings to Texas ranches and California vineyards, US events span dramatically different venue styles. Hosts commonly use PicShots at settings like California vineyard venues, New England barn weddings, Texas ranch and Hill Country settings. As long as guests have a phone and a network connection, the flow works indoors and outdoors.
How should I budget PicShots for an event in United States?
PicShots is priced per event, not per photo. United States hosts typically plan in USD ($). Events up to 10 guests stay free; larger guest lists map to pay-once tiers up to 250 guests.
Any United States-specific tip for collecting guest photos?
Print the QR on the programme: Every guest opens it — that is the highest-yield placement in most US weddings.
Do you offer a partnership or reseller program?
Not formally yet. If you want to bundle PicShots into a high-volume package, reach out via the contact page and we'll figure out something that works.
Can I use my own branding on the guest link?
Self-serve branding isn't available yet. For studios where visual branding matters, get in touch — we're working out how to support this for partners.
Will it interfere with our own coverage on the day?
No. It lives entirely on guests' phones in the browser. You don't carry extra gear and don't set anything up at the venue.
Who owns the photos?
The host (your couple). They can download the full gallery as a ZIP and hand it to you for editing — same as any guest-supplied content.
What if guests' uploads dilute the gallery?
Use a tight per-guest shot limit and curate before delivering. Most photographers pick the top 40–60 guest shots and leave the rest in a 'bonus' folder.
