Why PicShots fits

A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated

  • One QR across the whole weekend

    Welcome dinner, beach ceremony, reception, brunch — PicShots collects all of it into one shared gallery without scattering uploads across days or platforms.

  • Works on jet-lagged guests

    Destination guests arrive tired and rarely want to install anything. Scan-and-shoot in the browser is the only camera flow that consistently lands.

  • Capture between-events candids

    Some of the best destination wedding shots happen poolside between scheduled events. PicShots stays available for those candids without anyone running a camera.

  • Bulk download for the recap

    Destination weddings produce keepsake books, recap films, and thank-you notes. A ZIP download from the host dashboard is the fastest path to all three.

Setup tips

QR setup for Surry Hills events

  1. 1

    Print the QR on welcome bags

    Destination guests use welcome bags constantly — putting the QR on the tag keeps the guest camera visible from the moment guests check in.

  2. 2

    Add a sunrise/sunset MC mention

    Beach venues live for golden-hour ceremonies. A 10-second mention before either window lifts uploads more than any signage placement.

  3. 3

    Use generous per-guest shot limits

    Multi-day events should allow more shots per guest than single-day weddings. Start around 60–100 per guest and adjust based on event length.

  4. 4

    Use the QR during sunset toasts

    Sydney's sunset window is the candid sweet spot — a single MC reminder doubles uploads compared to a static QR card alone.

  5. 5

    Surry Hills placement tip

    Place the QR at each place setting because Surry Hills receptions often revolve around food and conversation.
