Why a collaborative gallery for your wedding?
Three problems your professional photographer doesn't solve:
- The angles nobody else saw — grandma crying during the vows, the young cousin dancing, the looks between the bride and groom at cocktail. Your guests catch them; the pro is elsewhere.
- HD resolution preserved — WhatsApp compresses, Photobooth keeps the original quality.
- Clear authorship — every photo is attributed to the nickname who uploaded it. You can thank personally and create personal albums for close guests.
How Photobooth fits a wedding
A wedding rhythm follows 4 phases. Photobooth aligns with each:
- Before the day (test on the bachelorette) — use the free Discovery plan to run a test on the bachelorette / bachelor party. You get familiar with the dashboard before the big day.
- Ceremony (private mode) — intimate moments, close family photos. Keep the gallery in private mode: each guest only sees their own uploads. No lateral exposure.
- Cocktail (switch to shared) — at the start of the cocktail, switch to shared mode. See the guide to choose between modes. Guests scroll, comment, laugh at photos they discover from other tables.
- Reception (shared thematic film rolls) — create « speeches », « dance floor », « desserts » rolls every guest can add to. You find a precise moment in seconds post-wedding.
- The day after — full zip in one click, plus automatic Google Drive backup. Photos are with you, forever.
How much does it cost for a wedding?
The Soirée plan at €29 one-time covers everything: unlimited photos, 6-month retention, Drive backup, switchable private/shared mode. No subscription trap, no per-guest cost, no mandatory credit card to test first with the Discovery plan.
Quick comparison: an additional photographer for 4 hours often costs €400-€800. A manual shared family cloud demands hours of post-wedding sorting. Photobooth at €29 is the most efficient option in hours saved and euros spent.
Photobooth vs alternatives
- No app to install — older guests contribute as much as younger ones. Zero download friction.
- Named film rolls per guest— find a specific best-man's photos in two clicks, useful for personalised post-wedding gifts.
- Switchable private / shared mode — you decide when the collective view opens.
- Native Google Drive backup — your photos stay with you beyond the 6-month retention.
Frequently asked wedding questions
How many photos does a 100-guest wedding generate?
Typically between 600 and 1,200 photos uploaded when a QR code is properly placed on tables and at the entrance. The Soirée plan at €29 covers this with unlimited photos.
How early should I create the gallery before the wedding?
Ideally 7 to 14 days before. You have time to test with 2-3 close friends, finalise your table cards with the printed QR code, and prepare thematic film rolls (« ceremony », « cocktail », « speeches », « dance floor »).
What if some guests don't upload anything?
With a visible QR code (table card + A3 poster at the entrance), 60 to 80 % of guests contribute. For the rest, you can follow up after the wedding with a message reminding the code — the space stays active for 6 months.
Does Photobooth replace a professional photographer?
No, it's complementary. A pro photographer captures the official moments in HD with a professional eye. Photobooth captures what your guests see — their personal angles, the looks and laughs nobody else photographs. The combo of both is the most solid setup.
