Why PicShots fits
A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated
Free for events up to 10 guests
PicShots is free for events with up to 10 guests — the exact size of most intimate restaurant receptions. Paid tiers cover larger private dining bookings.
Quiet, low-key guest flow
Restaurant receptions have a quieter atmosphere than ballroom weddings. The browser-based camera flow stays unobtrusive while still collecting every important moment.
Per-guest limits keep it curated
When the gallery is small, shot limits matter even more. PicShots keeps the gallery intentional rather than dumping every reflexive phone shot in.
Setup tips
QR setup for Downtown LA events
1 Print the QR at every place setting
With a small table, the QR works best when every guest sees it as they sit down. Add it as a small card next to the menu.
2 Mention it at the welcome
Intimate dinners always start with a welcome by the host. Slipping in a one-line mention of the QR is the single highest-yield prompt.
3 Use a tighter per-guest shot limit
Intimate dinners do best with a smaller shot allowance — around 10–15 per guest — to keep the final gallery feeling curated.
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 Downtown LA placement tip
Pair the QR with a welcome-screen slide because DTLA event spaces often have projection or LED walls.
