A guest camera made for weddings in Manila.
Manila weddings and parties tend to mix multi-generational families, intimate ceremonies, and large reception halls — a perfect fit for a single QR code that works on every guest's phone. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for weddings, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

For weddings in Manila
Manila events run the full range, from garden weddings in Tagaytay drives away to ballroom receptions in Makati and BGC.
Manila celebrations often stretch from a church or garden ceremony into a hotel ballroom reception, with grandparents, barkada groups, and overseas relatives all on the guest list. That mix means devices, languages, and familiarity with apps vary widely — a browser QR flow removes the install step that usually kills participation.
Traffic between Intramuros, Makati, BGC, and Tagaytay also means guests arrive in waves. A single shared gallery keeps early arrivals and late reception guests in the same roll without chasing albums after the weekend.
Hosts in Metro Manila usually budget in PHP and expect a clear guest-cap tier before printing invites. Pair the QR with the welcome tarp and table cards so the prompt feels part of the styling, not an afterthought flyer.
Power outages and hotel guest Wi‑Fi captive portals are common enough that a short 'use mobile data if the lobby Wi‑Fi asks for a room number' line on the card saves the first ten minutes of confusion.

Local tips
Hosting in Manila
Cover the church-to-reception handoff
Print the same QR for ceremony exit and reception entrance — Manila guests often change venues and miss a single station.
Prompt older relatives in Tagalog/English
A short bilingual line on the card helps grandparents join without asking younger relatives for help.
Put a spare QR at the VIP table
Sponsors, ninongs/ninangs, and overseas family often sit apart from the dance floor — one dedicated card there lifts their contribution rate.

Setup tips
Setup tips for the wedding day — Manila
1 Print one QR per table
Slot it next to the menu or favor. Couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single ceremony QR.
2 Add the QR to your welcome sign
Catches the cocktail-hour crowd before they put their phones away — usually your best candid window.
3 Set a sensible per-guest limit
20–30 shots keeps it candid and the gallery scannable. Bump higher if you want short video clips too.
4 Print the QR on Filipino-style invites
Slip the QR onto your invitation suite and the welcome tarp — Manila guests respond best when the prompt is part of the styling, not a separate flyer.
