How to use Apple photo sharing?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For the bridal party

Short answer

You use Apple photo sharing by creating a shared album in the Photos app and inviting people with an Apple ID. Guests who do not use Apple devices may need another option.

Open the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and tap Shared Albums. Choose New Shared Album, add a title and a cover picture, then invite people from your contacts. Anyone you invite can add their own photos and comment.

This is handy for a wedding because the whole bridal party can build one album together. You can sort pictures by the day's moments and keep them in one place. If a guest uses an Android phone or a different brand, ask them to use a guest album link or a photo sharing website instead, since Apple sharing works best with Apple accounts.

A few practical steps to keep it smooth:

  • Turn on notifications so you see new uploads straight away.
  • Review each guest photo before it appears if you want control.
  • Keep the album open only for a set time after the wedding.
  • Back up your own photos elsewhere so you do not rely on the shared album alone.

Remember that sharing settings can change, so check the app for the latest options before your big day.
