Wedding Photo Sharing: The Complete Guide for Photographers and Couples

Weddings generate more photos than almost any other event. Between the professional photographer, the videographer, and 200+ guests with smartphones, a single wedding can produce thousands of images. The challenge is not capturing the moments — it is getting the right photos to the right people.

The Wedding Photo Sharing Problem

Traditional wedding photo delivery looks like this:

1. Photographer shoots 2,000-5,000 photos over 8-12 hours.
2. Spends 2-4 weeks culling and editing.
3. Delivers 500-800 edited photos to the couple via Google Drive or WeTransfer.
4. The couple shares a few favorites on social media.
5. Guests who want their photos have to ask the couple, who has to search through hundreds of files.

The result: most wedding guests never see the professional photos they appear in.

The Modern Approach

AI-powered photo sharing solves every pain point in this chain:

• Real-time delivery: Photos appear in the gallery during the wedding itself via Kam-Sync.
• AI face recognition: Guests take a selfie and instantly see every photo they appear in.
• Branded galleries: Beautiful, customized galleries with the couple's names, wedding date, and theme colors.
• Guest uploads: Guests contribute their own photos to the shared gallery.
• Privacy controls: Only invited guests can access the gallery.

For Photographers: Setting Up Wedding Photo Sharing

Before the wedding

• Create the event gallery on Kamero with the couple's details and branding.
• Set up Kam-Sync on your cameras for real-time upload.
• Generate QR codes and share them with the wedding planner for placement.
• Discuss with the couple: which photos should go live immediately vs. after review?

During the wedding

• Shoot as normal — Kam-Sync uploads photos automatically.
• Use review-before-publish to ensure only your best shots go live.
• Have an assistant manage the review queue on a tablet if you are too busy shooting.
• Encourage the MC to announce the QR code during cocktail hour or reception.

After the wedding

• Upload the fully edited gallery within your normal delivery timeline.
• The same gallery link works — guests see the updated, edited versions.
• Send a notification to all guests who accessed the gallery: "Your edited photos are ready."

For Couples: What to Expect

During the wedding

• Your guests can scan QR codes at the venue to access a live photo gallery.
• Photos appear in real-time as your photographer shoots.
• Guests find their own photos by taking a selfie — no searching required.
• Guest uploads let everyone contribute their candid shots to one shared gallery.

After the wedding

• Your photographer uploads the full edited gallery to the same link.
• You can share the gallery with anyone who could not attend.
• Download original quality files for printing albums and frames.
• The gallery stays accessible — no expiration dates.

QR Code Placement at Weddings

Strategic QR code placement maximizes guest engagement:

• Welcome sign: A large QR code at the entrance with "Scan to see your wedding photos."
• Table cards: Small QR code cards on every table during the reception.
• Bar area: Guests waiting for drinks will scan out of curiosity.
• Photo booth area: Natural pairing — take a photo, then scan to see all your photos.
• Exit/farewell area: Last chance to scan before leaving.

Guest Upload: Crowdsourcing Wedding Memories

Professional photos capture the planned moments. Guest photos capture everything else — the candid laughs, the dance floor chaos, the behind-the-scenes preparations. Enabling guest uploads gives you:

• Photos from angles and moments the photographer could not cover.
• Candid, authentic moments that feel personal.
• A complete picture of the wedding from every perspective.
• More photos for the couple to choose from for their album.

Privacy and Access Control

Wedding photos are personal. Kamero provides multiple layers of privacy:

• PIN-protected galleries: Only people with the PIN can access photos.
• Invite-only access: Share the gallery link only with invited guests.
• Download controls: Choose whether guests can download original files or only view.
• Moderation: Review guest uploads before they appear in the gallery.

Selling Wedding Photos to Guests

Some photographers offer free viewing with paid downloads using Kamero's Sell Photos feature:

• Guests browse the gallery and see watermarked previews for free.
• They pay a small fee to download high-resolution, watermark-free versions.
• This creates an additional revenue stream beyond the couple's photography package.
• Typical pricing: ₹299-₹499 for "all your photos" bundle.

Timeline: What Happens When

• 1 week before: Gallery created, QR codes printed, Kam-Sync tested.
• Wedding day: Real-time photos available via QR code. Guest uploads enabled.
• Day 1-3 after: Photographer uploads additional unedited highlights.
• Week 2-4 after: Full edited gallery uploaded. Guests notified.
• Ongoing: Gallery remains accessible for the couple and guests.
