Wedding guest photo sharing with a QR code is the simplest way to collect candid moments from every table without asking guests to download an app. Guests scan, upload from their browser, and photos appear in your shared gallery — and on the big screen if you use Live view.
Why QR code photo sharing works for weddings
- No app install — guests use their phone camera and browser
- Works for all ages and phone types
- Photos arrive in real time during the reception
- You control moderation before anything goes on screen
Step 1: Create your wedding event
Sign up for a free Iskra account and create an event with your wedding name and date. You'll get a unique link and QR code in under two minutes. Name it something guests will recognise, like "Sarah & James — Wedding Day."
Step 2: Print and place your QR codes
Print the QR code on table cards, a welcome sign near the entrance, or a small tent card on the bar. Add a short instruction: "Scan to share your photos — no app needed." Test the code yourself before the day.
Step 3: Announce it once
Ask your MC or DJ to mention it once during the reception: guests can scan the QR on their table to upload photos. One clear announcement beats repeating it all night.
Step 4: Open Live view on your screen
Connect a laptop or tablet to your venue TV or projector and open Live view. Approved photos rotate automatically as guests upload — a live slideshow of your celebration.
Free vs Photo Gallery for weddings
The free plan includes 50 photos per event — fine for a small gathering. Most weddings upgrade to Photo Gallery (£29/event) for unlimited photos, a 30-day upload window, 90-day gallery access, and bulk download after the honeymoon. See our wedding photo sharing checklist for day-of setup.
