Collecting wedding guest photos — all photos in one place

A short guide to gathering every wedding guest's photos in one album, using a single QR code.

The short answer

The easiest way to collect wedding photos from all your guests is a QR-code-based photo album: you create an album, place the QR code on place cards or the invitation, and every guest uploads their photos directly through the browser — no app installation, no login, full resolution.

Why a QR code is the best solution

A QR-code album like EventDrop works directly in guests' browsers — no app download and no user account required. That lowers the barrier for older guests as well as anyone reluctant to install a new app, so everyone actually joins in.

How to set up your photo album

Create your album, choose the duration that fits your wedding day (Premiere offers a 365-day duration), and print the generated QR code on place cards, the invitation, or a sign at the reception. Your guests scan the code with their phone camera and land directly in your album.

Saving & downloading photos

All uploaded photos and videos stay in your gallery for as long as your event is active. On a paid plan you can download them all as a single ZIP file at any point during that time. One thing to plan for: the download stops at the expiry date, not at deletion — after expiry the album is view-only, and the photos are deleted 30 days later. So grab your ZIP before the expiry date, or extend the album.

Frequently asked questions

The easiest way is a QR-code album: guests scan the code and upload photos directly in the browser – no app, no login.

No. With EventDrop, scanning the QR code is enough — no user account and no app installation are required.

The photos stay online for the event's chosen duration (e.g. 365 days with Premiere). On a paid plan you can download them as a ZIP during that time — once the event expires the download is locked, and 30 days later the photos are deleted automatically.
