How does wedding photo sharing work?

Photo sharing works by giving every guest a way to contribute their own photos to a single collection. You set up a private online album, usually through your wedding website service. You share a link or QR code, and guests upload their photos directly from their phones.

Once uploaded, the album shows all the photos together. You can sort them by time, by table, or by guest. You can also allow guests to like or comment on photos, which adds a fun social element. Everyone can see the full day from different angles, not just the professional shots.

You decide who can view the album. You can keep it private to your guests, or make it public if you prefer. Most couples choose private for privacy. You can also set permissions so only you can download the originals, while guests can view but not save them.

After the wedding, you can download all the photos to your computer or cloud storage. Then you can create a printed album, send thank-you cards, or share a selection with family. The album can stay open for a few weeks, and you can close it whenever you like.
