One of the best things to do after you get married is to relive it through photos and videos. Whether it’s a photo you hang on your wall, or a video that pops up in your Facebook feed years later, photos and videos from the events surrounding your wedding are the best way to cherish your memories. It’s why photographers and videographers are in such high demand.
You will get some great photos from the professionals, but what about the moments captured from your friends and family throughout your special day? Some of your best shots will taken by amateurs using their fancy new iPhone 12.
Ideally you should be able to see all the different moments captured throughout your day, and you shouldn’t have to wait a month for the perfectly touched up photos from your professional photographer.
The problem is, there isn't a simple and easy way for everyone to share their photos and videos from your ceremony or reception. Not everyone is friends on Facebook or Instagram. Not everyone has downloaded Cluster or The Guest. For every 10 guests, there are at least 100 photos and videos hiding on your guests phones.
Why collect photos from wedding guests?

Add Privacy

This is simply an optional layer of privacy that helps some couples feel more comfortable sharing their photos to a large group of people. Once you have defined your privacy controls, you can simply click ‘Create Event’.
Start the party!
After your wedding PicPack is created, you can post your wedding URL ( e.g. https://picpack.app/caleb-plus-erin ) via email, text, social media, save the date, or wedding invitation . Alternatively, each wedding is assigned a five digit secret code ( e.g. ‘MTVUX‘ ). You can direct your wedding guests to https://picpack.app and they can simply enter the 5 digit code. This is perfect for posting at the reception where people will really start having fun posting photos and videos. That includes videos of Uncle Leo breakdancing.
Once friends and families have navigated to your wedding PicPack, they can very easily upload photos and videos by clicking the ‘Add Photo/Video Button’ right from their mobile phone. No app or download is required. They will be notified when their upload is complete. After the images and videos are processed, the wedding PicPack will automatically be updated with the photos and videos.
