Vancouver, Canada

Free wedding photo sharing, no app in Vancouver

Stanley Park-adjacent lawns, Granville Island lofts, North Shore mountain lodges, and hotel ballrooms downtown share one constraint: weather that can flip mid-event.

Vancouver weekends mix a wet lawn ceremony, a mountain backdrop, and an afterparty downtown. Guests fly in from Seattle, Calgary, and Asia with roaming data and mixed phones — a browser QR is the rare flow that does not ask for another app.

Rain is the default outdoor plan. Laminated or enclosed QR holders outside, plus a dry card at dinner, cover both weather calls without reprinting.

CAD pay-once tiers sit cleanly on a Canadian vendor list. Free is 10 guests × 5 shots; larger lists pay by headcount. Hosts download all photos as a ZIP.

Seawall light and North Shore lodges are different scan distances. Test the printed size from the furthest a guest will stand, not from the table edge.

Local tips

Hosting in Vancouver

  • Waterproof the outdoor card

    Stanley Park lawns and seawall cocktail hours soak paper in minutes.

  • Repeat the QR after the venue change

    Mountain ceremony plus downtown dinner needs a scan point at both stops.

  • Keep instructions to one line

    Destination guests will not debug an app store listing between the ferry and the lodge.

Things weddings keep getting wrong

  • Guests forget to send you the photos they took
  • Disposable cameras lose half their shots to bad exposure
  • Your photographer can't be at every table
  • Shared Drive links nobody clicks

What you get

Tuned for free wedding photo sharing, no app in Vancouver

  • 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 day — Vancouver

  1. 1

    Print one QR per table

    Slot it next to the menu or favor so every table has a scan point, not only the ceremony entrance.

  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.

  4. 4

    Laminate outdoor cards and repeat indoors

    Rain takes paper QRs off cocktail tables. A waterproof holder outside plus a dry card at dinner seating covers both weather plans.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan your QR or tap your link, type their name, and start shooting photos in the mobile browser. There is nothing to install on either side. PicShots is photos only.

Can we hide uploads from other guests during the wedding?

Yes. Keep the gallery hidden during the day so guests only see their own photos. You can reveal the shared gallery any time — during the reception or weeks later.

What if someone uploads a photo we don't want public?

You can preview and delete any photo from the host dashboard before guests ever see the gallery. Guests can also delete their own uploads from the same phone.

Will it interfere with our photographer or videographer?

No. PicShots runs in guests' browsers and uses no extra gear at the venue. Most couples use it alongside their photographer, not instead of one.

Will guests' phones run out of storage?

No. Photos upload to your shared gallery, not to their camera roll. Their phone storage is untouched.

How long are wedding photos kept?
