Wedding Photo Collector

About

Built from one wedding day problem.

Wedding Photo Collector exists because the best guest photos are often the hardest ones to gather afterward. The product keeps that task simple, private, and easy to explain.

Story

Less chasing. More keeping.

The origin

Wedding Photo Collector started as a practical fix for my own wedding. Guests were already taking brilliant candid photos, but getting them afterward meant chasing messages, social posts, and camera rolls.

The idea

After retraining as a software engineer, I built a small version for our day: one private place where guests could upload from their phones and we could keep the moments that would otherwise be scattered everywhere.

The product

The app is still shaped by that first use case. It avoids unnecessary ceremony and focuses on the pieces couples actually need: a guest link, a QR code, review controls, and original downloads.

Simple for guests

A QR code and a browser upload flow are easier to explain than another app, account, or shared drive.

Useful for couples

The gallery is built around the practical work after the wedding: review, organize, and download originals.

Private by default

Wedding photos should feel personal, so access starts with an invite link and can be protected with a password.

A quieter way to collect the informal photos that make the day feel real.
