Why PicShots fits
A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated
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
QR setup for BGC events
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 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 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.
4 Print the QR on Filipino-style invites
Slip the QR onto your invitation suite and the welcome tarp — Manila guests respond best when the prompt is part of the styling, not a separate flyer.
5 BGC placement tip
Pair the QR with digital signage or a welcome-screen slide because BGC venues often have strong AV setups.
