What's it called when you post a bunch of pictures at once?

Short answer

It's called a photo dump. You share several photos in one post, often without captions or with a simple one, usually on social media. It's a relaxed way to show many moments from your wedding day together.

A photo dump is simply posting a collection of images in a single social media post, rather than sharing them one by one. It's become a popular way to share wedding photos because it feels natural and less staged. You can include a mix of formal shots, candid moments, details, and even a few blurry or funny ones. There's no strict rule about how many photos to include, but a common approach is anywhere from six to twelve. You might post them in a grid, or as a carousel that people can swipe through. Some couples add a short caption like "the best day" or a song lyric, while others leave it caption-free. The key is to choose photos that together tell the story of your day, from getting ready to the last dance. You can post a photo dump yourself, or ask your photographer if they can provide a few preview images for you to share soon after the wedding. If you have a wedding website, you could also create a photo dump page there for guests to enjoy. Remember to tag your photographer and key people in the photos, and check with them about any editing preferences before you post.
