You plan the venue, the dress, the florals, the food — and then the wedding ends and you spend three weeks chasing down photos from 80 different people. It's the worst part of the whole thing.
The good news: it doesn't have to be this way. Here's exactly how to collect every guest's wedding photos automatically, with the same film aesthetic across the board.
Why the old ways don't work
The classic disposable camera table is charming in theory. In practice, half the cameras go missing, the other half come back with blurry thumbs, and you pay $18 per roll to develop them three weeks later.
"Text me your photos" creates 47 separate threads. AirDrop requires everyone to be in range and willing to stand still for 45 seconds. Google Photos shared albums require everyone to have a Google account and actually use it.
The QR code method
The simplest approach: one QR code, shared before the wedding. Every guest who scans it gets access to a shared album and can add photos directly — no app download required.
With Dumpit, you create an event, pick your film preset, and the QR is generated instantly. Print it on your table cards, add it to the ceremony program, or drop it in the wedding group chat the morning of. Guests scan once and they're in.
Making all the photos match
The other problem with collecting photos from 80 phones: you end up with 80 different looks. Some shot in Portrait mode, some on Night mode, some with the phone's built-in filters. The album looks like a mess.
Dumpit solves this by applying your chosen film preset to every photo in the album. Pick Kodak Gold, Fuji 400H, or any of the 24 presets — every guest's photo gets the same treatment automatically.
Live vs. Hidden mode
- Live mode: photos appear in the album in real time. You can watch the album fill up from the dance floor.
- Hidden mode: photos are collected but hidden until you reveal the album. Perfect for a post-wedding photo dump moment with your partner.
What to do with the photos
Once the event ends, all your wedding photos are in one place. Download the full album, share the link with guests, or print your favorites. No chasing, no lost photos, no waiting.
