Virtual Wedding Photo and Video Album - QR Gallery for Guests
What is a virtual wedding album with QR code access?
A virtual wedding album is a digital gallery where all wedding guests upload their photos and videos to one shared online space. Weddie.app creates this gallery automatically for every wedding. Guests scan a QR kod placed on tables or at the entrance and immediately gain access to upload their photos. All photos go into one album accessible to the wedding couple in real-time. Unlike traditionally collecting photos via WhatsApp, email, or Facebook, where photos are scattered and often lose quality, a virtual album preserves the original resolution and organizes everything in one place.
How many photos do guests upload to the online wedding gallery?
According to Weddie.app data from 2024-2025, the average wedding of 80 guests generates 687 photos and 94 short videos in the online gallery. At a wedding of 50 guests, the wedding couple receives an average of 420 photos. Large weddings of 150+ guests produce 1200-2000 photos. These numbers are 3-4 times higher than with traditional photo collection because the QR kod eliminates the barrier to sending. Guests are more likely to share photos when the process is simple - one QR scan, photo selection, click send. The first batch of photos usually appears within 30 minutes of the wedding's start. The largest influx of photos occurs during the wedding reception (60% of all photos) and dancing (25%).
How do guests upload photos to the wedding album via QR kod?
The process is designed to be as simple as possible, even for less tech-savvy guests. The guest scans the QR kod with their smartphone's camera (iPhone or Android) placed on the wedding table or near the information board. After scanning, a Weddie.app page opens with the wedding album for that couple. The guest clicks the Add Photos button, selects photos or videos from their phone gallery, and clicks Send. Photos are uploaded in original quality (no compression like in WhatsApp). The entire process from scanning to sending a photo takes 15-30 seconds. The guest does not need to download an app or create an account - it works through the browser.
How to effectively encourage guests to upload wedding photos?
The most effective strategies for encouraging guests to share photos according to Weddie.app users: Announcement by the emcee during the toast - the DJ or host reminds guests to scan the QR code and upload photos (increases activity by 45%), QR codes in multiple locations - at the entrance to the venue, on each table, in restrooms, at the bar (the more codes, the more photos), Photo contest - announce a prize (e.g., a $80 restaurant voucher) for the author of the most interesting photo (increases uploads by 60%), Live gallery display - show newly added photos on a screen during the wedding (guests see their photos and want to add more), SMS reminder the day after the wedding - send a message to guests who have not yet uploaded photos (additional 20-30% of photos).
Can guests view and download photos from other guests in the gallery?
Yes, the wedding gallery in Weddie.app is shared with all guests who scan the QR code. Every guest can view all photos uploaded by other guests, creating a shared, collective memento of the wedding. Guests can also download photos from others to their phone - if someone took a great photo of the bride and groom or a group photo, everyone can save it. This social aspect of the gallery is highly valued - on average, 65% of guests view photos added by others during or after the wedding. The bride and groom have full access to all uploaded photos and can browse, download, and share them with family and friends who were not at the wedding.
How to share the virtual wedding album with family and friends?
Weddie.app offers three ways to share the gallery. First, a QR kod on printed wedding materials - place it on menus, table numbers, near the seating plan, or at the entrance to the venue. Guests scan the kod and have instant access. Second, a link to the gallery in electronic invitations or SMS - send a unique link to guests before the wedding, allowing them to upload photos even from the preparations. Third, sharing on a screen during the wedding - display the QR kod on a screen or projector during the reception with short scanning instructions. The most effective strategy according to Weddie users is a combination: QR on tables + announcement by the emcee during the toast + SMS reminder the day after the wedding for guests who have not yet uploaded photos.
