Designed for banquet-style timelines
PicShots fits a structured timeline of arrival, ceremony, dinner, programme, and dancing. The same QR keeps working across every transition.
Encourage candid table shots

Keep the gallery hidden during the event. Review and remove anything you don't want public, then reveal when ready.
Setup tips
QR setup for Santa Monica events
1 Print the QR on every table card
Reception halls are essentially one big room — table cards are the highest-yield placement for the QR.
2 Mention the QR before the meal
Reception MCs always do a quick welcome before food is served. That's the perfect spot for a 10-second QR mention.
3 Use the dance floor as a candid prompt
Dancing is where reception halls produce the most candid uploads. A second MC mention before the dance floor opens lifts uploads noticeably.
4 Prompt the QR before golden hour
LA's golden hour is the strongest candid window — remind guests to shoot just before sunset and you'll capture the best light of the day.
5 Santa Monica placement tip
Put the QR near cocktails and sunset viewpoints so guests use it during the strongest candid window.
