Wedding Photo Collection with One QR Guest Camera
Wedding photo collection is easier when every guest photo starts in the same place. With OurFilm, one QR code opens a shared event camera and each new photo joins the wedding's private gallery automatically.
There is no next-day hunt through group chats and cloud folders. The host sets the roll length and reveal rule in advance; guests scan, enter a name and take their shots.
A five-step collection flow
- Create the wedding camera and choose 5, 10, 16, 24 or 36 shots per guest.
- Choose immediate or end-of-event reveal.
- Place the same QR code around the venue and share its link digitally.
- Guests take photos in their browser without an app or account.
- Review the private gallery and download the whole album in one ZIP.
This does not replace the professional photographer. The photographer creates the considered record of the day; the guest camera collects the scattered, unplanned moments happening around it.
How to collect more useful guest photos
Make the camera visible more than once. Put the QR code at the entrance, on tables, near the bar and beside the guestbook. Ask the MC or a member of the wedding party to explain in one sentence that it is a shared camera with a limited roll—not a new social network or an app download.
For a typical full wedding, 24 shots per person is a balanced starting point. Use 10 or 16 for a shorter reception and 36 for a day-long celebration.
Collection without instant sharing
Collecting a photo does not mean every guest must see it immediately. The host can reveal the gallery as photos arrive, wait until the event ends or keep guest viewing disabled.
The delayed option preserves the disposable-camera surprise: guests capture the moment without reviewing a growing live feed, then discover the combined film later.
Shared camera versus post-event requests
A post-event request is still useful when you want every existing image from every phone. OurFilm takes a different approach. It creates a dedicated camera for the event, gives each person a finite number of frames and gathers those new photographs while the wedding is happening.

What OurFilm currently leaves out
OurFilm is for new still photos taken through the event camera. It does not collect videos or voice messages, apply filters or run a live slideshow. Couples who need those features should choose a broader wedding media platform.
Frequently asked questions
Can unlimited guests join?
The free event supports up to five participants. A one-time event upgrade removes that participant cap; each guest still keeps the selected finite roll.
Which roll length should we choose?
Twenty-four frames is a useful starting point for a full wedding. Short events can use 10 or 16, and an all-day event can use 36.
Is the gallery private?
It is not listed publicly. Access depends on the unguessable event link or QR code, so couples should share it only with the intended group.
Create your wedding camera, place the QR code around the venue and let the album assemble itself as the day happens.
