New York City, United States

For weddings in New York City

From Brooklyn loft weddings to Midtown rooftop parties, NYC events lean on dense venues with mixed-use spaces.

NYC events move fast: cocktail hour in one room, dinner in another, afterparty across the street. Guests have minutes between transitions, so upload friction has to be near zero — open link, name, shoot.

Venue rules in Brooklyn lofts and Midtown hotels often limit large hardware setups. A phone-based guest camera covers the candid angles a single photographer cannot while staying within typical venue constraints.

Pricing is shown in USD. Tight guest caps matter because NYC invite lists balloon with plus-ones; set the expected headcount before you print table cards.

Union timelines and vendor load-in windows leave little room for booth hardware. A QR guest camera is often the only coverage layer you can add after the photographer and florist are already booked.

Local tips

Hosting in New York City

  • Post the QR at every room change

    Ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and afterparty each need a visible code or late arrivals never join.

  • Keep the flow offline-tolerant

    Basement venues and subway-adjacent spaces have spotty signal — remind guests to retry uploads when they reach lobby Wi‑Fi.

  • Print the code on escort cards

    Escort-card real estate is already in every guest's hand at seating — it outperforms a single bar sign in Midtown ballrooms.

What you get

Tuned for weddings in New York City

  • QR codes for every table

    Print one QR per table, slip another into the welcome sign. Guests scan, type their name, and start shooting in seconds.

  • Candid moments your photographer misses

    First-look reactions, table laughter, sparkler exits. The room captures angles a single photographer simply cannot be at.

  • Reveal the gallery on your terms

    Keep uploads private during the reception. Open the gallery the moment you want the room — or your future self — to see every shot.

  • Bulk ZIP download for your album

    Every guest's roll waiting for you in one folder. Hand it to your editor, print a thank-you book, or back it up alongside your photographer's gallery.

Setup tips

Setup tips for the wedding dayNew York City

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Use the QR on signage at every venue change

    NYC events often move from ceremony to reception in a separate building — repeat the QR at each room so guests rejoin the camera flow.
