Why PicShots fits

Built for the rhythm of garden venues

  • Long candid daylight window

    Garden venues run for hours of natural light. PicShots lets every guest contribute candids across the whole window without needing the photographer at every spot.

  • Golden hour from every angle

    Sunset toasts and golden-hour portraits are the strongest candid moments. Pair the QR with a quick MC mention right before sunset and uploads spike noticeably.

  • Mobile-first for outdoor guests

    Outdoor venues mean guests are spread across the lawn, not gathered in one room. A scan-and-shoot browser flow keeps them participating from anywhere.

  • Bring everything indoors after

    Most garden weddings have an indoor backup. PicShots collects uploads from both spaces into one gallery so the host doesn't have to merge anything later.

Setup tips

How to set up the guest camera at garden venues

  1. 1

    Place the QR near drinks stations

    Outdoor receptions cluster around drinks. Adding the QR card to the bar and the lemonade table catches the cocktail hour participation window.

  2. 2

    Add a sunset MC mention

    Golden hour is the single most rewarding upload window of the day. A 10-second MC reminder right before sunset is the biggest single lift you can get.

  3. 3

    Print the QR at scale

    Outdoors, guests scan from farther away. Print the QR at A5 size minimum on the welcome sign so anyone at the lawn edge can still capture it.

FAQ

Common questions

Does PicShots work without strong Wi-Fi outdoors?

PicShots needs a network connection to upload, but uploads queue and retry. For outdoor venues, place QR reminders where mobile signal is strongest and ask the venue if guest Wi-Fi reaches the lawn.

Can we use the same QR for indoor backup?

Yes. The same QR works indoors and outdoors. If the weather forces a move, uploads continue into the same gallery without any changes.

Will the QR card hold up outdoors?

Print on matte cardstock with a weather-resistant lamination if you expect humidity or sprinklers. Otherwise, place QR cards under glass jars or table runners.
