How do you collect communion photos from every guest?
Open a shared gallery and hand out its QR code, printed on the table cards or displayed at the entrance. Each guest scans it, adds the photos they took during the ceremony and the meal, and can browse everything the others uploaded. Nothing to install, no account to create, and the files keep their original resolution, so the photo the parents want to frame is still printable months later.
The moments that make the album
Your guests are the ones who capture them best. A shared gallery makes sure none of them get lost.
The ceremony
The entrance, the candle, the reading: the family sits in different pews and each phone captures an angle the others could not get.
The portraits outside
The photos taken on the steps, with the godparents and the grandparents, are the ones that end up on the mantelpiece.
The meal
The cake, the speeches, the cousins at the children's table: the informal half of the day, and the half nobody thinks to photograph on purpose.
Photo challenge ideas
Photo challenges are built into the gallery: launch them and guests answer with their photos.
A photo with each godparent
Guests take turns, and the album ends up covering everyone who matters to the day.
The table as it was, then as it is
One photo before the meal and one at the end: the contrast always makes the album.
From the eldest to the youngest
Great-grandparents to the youngest cousin, so no branch of the family is missing.
How it works
Create your gallery
Two minutes: event name, date, and you're set. A QR code is generated automatically.
Guests scan and share
Display the QR code on site. Each guest scans, takes photos and adds them instantly. No app needed.
Everyone finds their photos
The gallery holds every photo at original quality. On the Event plan, each guest finds their own by taking a selfie.
Which plan for your event?
For a communion with close family only, the free plan covers it: 100 photos, 10 contributors, 15 days online. For a large gathering, or to let each guest retrieve their own photos with a selfie, the Event plan at €69 (one-off payment) removes the limits and keeps everything available for 6 months.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need an account to add photos?
No. Scanning the QR code is enough to reach the gallery and upload. Only the organiser needs an account, to create the event and manage it.
Can we separate the church photos from the meal?
Yes. Set up categories when you create the event and guests choose one as they upload. Anyone browsing can then filter and jump straight to the part of the day they want.
How long do we have to download everything?
Fifteen days on the free plan, six months on the Event plan. You get an email reminder before the gallery expires, and you can download the whole set as an archive in one go.
Can we stop certain photos from appearing?
Yes. Moderation lets you approve each upload before it becomes visible, and you can remove any photo at any time as the organiser.
