Wedding photo sharing your guests will actually use
Your photographer captures the ceremony. Your guests capture everything else — getting ready, the cocktail hour, the dance floor, the quiet moments at the tables. OakDrop puts a QR code on every table so those photos end up in one shared wedding album instead of scattered across two hundred phones.
A QR code on every table
Create your album, then print the code from OakDrop's built-in print studio: 5×7 table cards, full-page signs for the welcome table or bar, and landscape place cards, each with wedding artwork and your own wording ("Help us capture the day — scan to add your photos"). Guests point their camera at it and the album opens in their browser. No app to download in a dead-signal banquet hall, no account to create between courses.
Before the wedding: collect the story so far
Share the album link with the wedding party and both families weeks ahead. Engagement shoots, bachelor and bachelorette weekends, the rehearsal dinner, childhood photos for the montage — it all lands in the same album, ready for a slideshow during the reception.
During the reception: a slideshow that grows all night
Cast the album to a screen at the venue and it becomes a live, full-screen slideshow. New uploads appear in the rotation automatically, and a "scan to add your photos" code stays on screen — so the album keeps filling from first dance to last call. Choose fades, shuffle, a cover photo, and an elegant border to match the room.
After: every candid, in one place, in full resolution
No more "can everyone send me their photos?" group texts after the honeymoon. Download the whole album as one zip, or connect your own Dropbox or Google Drive as a member and guests' full-resolution originals land directly in your storage as they upload. When you're done, close uploads with one tap.
Options couples ask for
- Photo approval: hold uploads for review before they appear in the gallery or slideshow — useful when the slideshow is on a big screen.
- Album password: require a password, so viewing and adding photos takes both the link and the password.
- Co-hosts: add your partner, planner, or maid of honor as a co-host to help moderate.
- Guest names and captions: see who shared each photo, with an optional note.
Wedding questions
Do wedding guests need an app or account?
No. The QR code opens the album in any phone browser — iPhone or Android — and guests upload straight from their camera roll. Grandparents manage it fine.
When should we share the album?
As soon as you create it. Many couples put the link in the wedding website and group chats weeks early to gather rehearsal-dinner and getting-ready photos, then put the QR code on reception tables for the day itself.
Can we screen photos before they show up on the slideshow?
Yes — turn on approval and every upload waits for you (or a co-host) to approve it first.
How much does it cost for a wedding?
A $39 Event Pass covers one album with unlimited guests, up to 20 GB of photos, uploads open for 6 months, and hosting for a full year — no subscription. You can build and preview the album free before paying. See pricing.
Can guests upload videos?
Not currently — OakDrop is photos-only right now.
