The collaborative photo gallery for your wedding.

A 100-guest wedding typically produces between 600 and 1,200 photos dropped into the gallery, provided the QR code is properly showcased — usually one card per table plus a sign at the entrance or next to the guest book. The volume follows from two figures observed across Photobooth events: between 55 and 75% of guests participate, and each contributor drops around 18 photos on average. The flow is not uniform through the night: the cocktail hour and the dance floor concentrate most of the uploads, and a notable share of photos arrives in the following days, when guests sort through their camera rolls. The Night plan at €29 as a one-time payment absorbs this volume without a thought, since photos are unlimited, with no cap per guest.

The sweet spot is 7 to 14 days before the wedding. The service itself is ready in under 24 business hours after the universe request; the lead time is really for the material preparation and rehearsal. Two weeks leave room for the three steps that genuinely move participation: first a full-scale test with two or three close friends — scan the QR code, create a nickname, drop photos — to get familiar with the gallery and the admin panel; then integrating the QR code into the printed supports, table cards, entrance sign or menus, making sure it is comfortably large to scan; finally creating the shared thematic film rolls if wanted — "ceremony", "cocktail", "speeches", "dance floor" — to structure the collection. The access code can then go out with the final reminders to guests.

Partial participation is normal and the service is designed around it. With a clearly visible QR code — a card on every table plus an A3 poster at the entrance — 60 to 80% of wedding guests contribute; the rest usually just did not think of it in the moment. That is where the retention period matters: a Night plan universe stays active for 6 months after the event, and the access code keeps working. A follow-up message in the week after the wedding — a simple reminder of the code, ideally with one or two photos already collected to spark interest — typically brings in a fresh wave of contributions. Guests who uploaded nothing on the night go through their camera rolls calmly at home, pick their best shots, and the final collection ends up noticeably richer.

No, and it is not meant to: the two are complementary. A professional photographer brings what no collaborative gallery can replace — mastery of light, direction of the official moments, polished portraits, an edited high-quality selection. Photobooth covers the opposite angle: what the guests themselves see. The bridal party getting ready, the glances exchanged during the speeches, the end-of-night laughter, the dance floor at dancer height — dozens of simultaneous viewpoints no single photographer can physically capture. The most complete result combines both: the guests' collection, sorted by person and downloadable as a zip, can be handed as-is to the photographer or videographer to enrich the album or the wedding film.
