A guest camera made for weddings in Tokyo.
Tokyo weddings and corporate events run on precise timelines and short, dense moments — guest photos are some of the only candid records of the day outside the official photographer. 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 Tokyo
From hotel chapels in Shinjuku to ryokan-style retreats, Tokyo events balance traditional ceremony with high-energy receptions.
Tokyo weddings and corporate events run on precise programmes. Short ceremony blocks and dense reception timelines leave little room for explaining an app install — a QR on the printed timeline works during the first pause.
Hotel chapels, garden ceremonies, and banquet halls often restrict large props. Guest phones cover reaction shots and table candids without fighting venue rules.
Hosts typically think in JPY. Confirm guest-cap tiers before printing programmes so the free-vs-paid decision is settled early.

- Garden ceremonies at Meiji Jingu Gaien

- Ryokan retreats outside the city

Setup tips
Setup tips for the wedding day — Tokyo
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 Add the QR to the timeline programme
Tokyo events run to the minute — placing the QR on the printed programme means guests scan it during the first moment of downtime.
