Nice Day for a Green Wedding: Celebrate Your Big Day Sustainably

If you’ve decided to tie the knot – congratulations! You’ll be looking forward to this momentous occasion with great delight. But, in all the excitement, it can be easy to forget that these events often have a hefty carbon footprint, from food waste to emissions through travel. Then there’s the potential impact of packaging, the meat if you serve it on the day, imported flowers and new clothes.

But there are many ways of celebrating in style while being gentle on the planet. And your big day can also be a way to flex some consumer muscle while showing what really matters to you, and highlighting your beliefs. It’s perfectly possible to have a gorgeous wedding that doesn’t cost the earth.

Here’s how:

1. Choice of wedding venue

Clearly, if you pick a location for your nuptials that’s near where most of your guests live, you reduce transportation, one of the biggest sources of emissions at weddings. Equally, if you have the ceremony and reception and take photos at the same place, this also brings down the occasion’s carbon footprint. Try to discourage anyone from flying to your wedding if at all possible, while encouraging lift-sharing.

You may also want to ask potential venues about their policies on waste reduction and sustainability.

2. ‘Green’ food on the wedding menu!

You minimise transport emissions still further by going for locally based caterers who source seasonal food. Additionally, you’ll be supporting the local economy. (But be prepared to be flexible if the weather affects seasonal availability.)

Clearly the most ethical wedding feast will be vegan or vegetarian. But if you do serve meat, you can minimise waste by asking if guests can take home leftover food, or whether the staff can eat it.

3. Blooming lovely: choose local flowers

Locally grown blooms will always be more environmentally friendly than imported flowers. Plus there may be a wider range from which to take your pick than you realised. Consider renting silk arrangements or potted plants, or combining local greenery with a small number of imported blooms. Finally, think about how you could recycle your bouquet after the event.

4. Eco-friendly clothing

Wearing eco-friendly clothing doesn’t mean abandoning style. Think recycled materials, vintage and pre-loved garments. Your bridesmaids don’t have to be dressed the same way, and could either wear something they already have or that they’ll use long after the wedding.

As for your rings, diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but they come with a number of potential social and environmental pitfalls. Source yours ethically and, again, consider vintage.

5. Do yourself a favour

For your wedding favours, try not to opt for single-use plastics or give items which could end up in landfill. Think instead in terms of recyclable packaging and gifts of seeds which people can grow, or perhaps some home-made sweets or cookies.

Likewise, with décor, consider rice-paper lanterns, cotton bunting or decorations made from ribbon which guests can take home.

Talking of gifts, could can ask for unpackaged or sustainable presents, or request donations to an environmental charity of your choice instead.

6. Wedding stationery

You can have gorgeous-looking wedding stationery that’s entirely digital – for example invites, which will also save on postage costs. Anything you do print can be produced in fully recyclable materials.

7. Even your photography can be gentle on the planet

You may not previously have thought about this, but even your photography can be environmentally friendly.

There are many low-waste ideas which are still creative. Outdoor settings, for example, don’t require artificial lighting and provide the perfect backdrop for your memories. You can also have recycled or upcycled photo albums to record your special day. You could incorporate natural props or sustainable themes into your photos, as you capture every magical moment to perfection.

Environmentally friendly photography with EventsAlbum

By using digital-only imagery, and telling your guests about this beforehand, you eliminate single-use disposable cameras destined for landfill. Meanwhile, maximising guest photography rather than hiring a photographer means having one less person travelling, thereby reducing your wedding’s travel-related emissions.

EventsAlbum lets you do all of the above by providing an online album where guests upload their pictures. They simply scan a QR code to do this, which you set up easily in advance. There’s no need for people to download an app or create an account. You then have all your images in one place, and by having multiple photographers, you won’t miss a moment of your day. Plus the cameras on most modern smartphones yield excellent results.

You can show all the pictures via a rolling live gallery as they’re uploaded, heightening the excitement and making the occasion more interactive. (Approve the shots in advance if you prefer.) Afterwards, you’ll have a year to download all the photos in high resolution.

How QR codes are revolutionising photo sharing at events

If you’re about to get married or are organising any other big event, you may well have a photographer lined up. But you might also be looking at other ways of collecting and sharing images so that you don’t miss a moment of the day, and so that you capture and can relive all those spontaneous moments of joy among your guests or delegates. At the same time, photo sharing encourages a community feel among people at an event, while meaning you can keep enjoying it long after the occasion itself is over.

After all, no matter how great your photographer is, they can only be in one place at once! Equally, you may be keen to see, post or otherwise use pictures of the big day while you await the ‘official’ gallery.

Yet finding straightforward ways of photo sharing isn’t quite as easy as you might have thought, and some of the more common methods for doing this throw up more challenges than you may have realised.

For example, none of the choices which may spring most readily to mind is designed specifically for event sharing or has a beautiful look that suits the elegance of the occasion. Additionally, a few of the available options throw up considerable privacy concerns, especially when people post pictures randomly across multiple platforms. This can detract from the pleasurable experience photo sharing should be.

Six Different Ways To Share Photos

  • Social media: This can get a little all over the place, not least given the sheer number of available platforms. And, of course, not everyone has accounts on the same ones. So it can be easy to feel as though you have no control – what’s more, many of these platforms are very public.
  • WhatsApp or similar tools: These may seem a viable option, but they store photos in relatively low resolution and, again, everyone needs an account with the platform in question to access the images.
  • Apple albums: Yet again, this won’t reach everybody as all your guests will need an Apple device if you are to make this idea work.
  • A shared cloud drive: This is another thing you may have considered. But everyone in attendance will need a log-in, and not everyone may want this. People have so many passwords and online accounts that it’s easy to feel ‘log-in fatigue’ and reluctance to sign up for yet another platform.
  • USB sticks: These days, USB sticks may seem slightly old-fashioned. And if you’re considering using them, you could find them hard to keep track of. Additionally, it may not be easy for everyone to see all the images if people have pictures on different USB sticks.
  • Chat and email: Threads on these kinds of tools can quickly become cumbersome, plus you may find some guests miss out on some of the photos.

QR Code Photo Sharing Platforms Can Make This Easier

But there is an alternative from EventsAlbum, sharing photos with a QR code. Our QR event code allow those attending a wedding, birthday party, corporate event or any other celebration to upload images via a single link, securely and in real time. There are no log-ins, apps to download or passwords, guests just simply scan a QR code and share the pictures they’ve taken.

You can then show all the images via a rolling live gallery the minute guests start uploading them, making the whole thing really interactive. Approve images before displaying them if you wish.

After your event all the photos can be downloaded as high resolution pictures making them ideal to print. There’s no compromise on quality; the image will look exactly as it did when it was taken. Finally, we offer unlimited storage for a year, allowing you to download any or all of them at any point during that time.

Six Creative Ways To Display QR Codes For Photo Sharing At Your Wedding

QR code in picture frame on bar

Our QR codes, allow guests to upload their images to your online photo album while at your wedding. This has transformed the way newlywed couples, and those who celebrate with them, record their special day.

Our online photo album means that as well as having the official photographer, you get to see all the special moments that make up the occasion, that you perhaps wouldn’t otherwise have spotted. Ultimately, you’ll have huge range of images to create memories across the whole event from start to finish from everyone’s view.

The way it works is really simple. Guests just scan your wedding QR code and upload their photos, which the couple can choose to either view after the event or can set up a screen can be displayed as they are uploaded.

One thing you may be wondering is where to display the code so guests can scan it. Here are some ideas:

1.) Print on the invitation

That way, guests can scan the QR code before they even set off from home to attend your wedding. Or include it with travel/accommodation information, or on other stationery such as the order of service.

2.) Have a picture frame on the bar

This is another good idea – after all, most of your guests will be visiting the bar at some point during the proceedings. You can make the frame look really pretty and match your theme, so that it stands out and people are drawn to it to scan the code. The frame doesn’t have to go on the bar, by the way, you could also have it, by your seating plan or on the gift table.

3.) Wedding favours

These small tokens given to guests, usually at the meal or reception are there to thank guests for their attendance. Quite often, favours are something like small boxes of sweets, and so it can be quite easy to incorporate the QR code.  

4.) Centrepieces

You’re likely to have something on the tables at your venue, whether that’s flower arrangements, foliage, vases, lanterns or anything else. You could use any item like this creatively to display your QR code. The same goes for name cards – and a QR code here could also link to a digital menu.

5.) Venue Signage

You may have other signage around your venue with directions for guests, for example car park, welcome signs at the entrance, menus boards etc. Displaying your QR code in as many places as possible will help to encourage people to scan and upload photos as they are snapped. 

6.) Guest book

If you’re running a guest book for people to sign their names and thoughts, this is another ideal location.  

With so many options, you can get creative with where you show your wedding QR code, and have it in a prominent place of your choice so that guests feel encouraged to use it. Encouraging guests to upload their pictures to your online album enables all memories of your special day to be captured.

The Power Of User Generated Content At Events

User-generated content (UGC) is one of the biggest factors that has affected brand engagement in the past decade.

If you’re not familiar with the term, user-generated content is original content produced by your customers to promote your brand. Users aren’t paid to produce user-generated content: it is organic and natural, with customers sharing their thoughts, opinions, and imagery because they want to. And this is the best kind of recommendation any brand can receive.

So what impact can this have in the events arena? What is the power of user generated content at events? Here’s everything you need to know.

 

User Generated Content Benefits

There are so many benefits of harnessing user generated content at your next event. Firstly, it is a great way to enhance the event experience for your event attendees, encouraging them to interact with your brand and interact with each other.

From a business perspective, user generated content also builds trust and credibility for your brand. It shows that your events are authentic, that real people are attending and hopefully, that they’re having a great time!

User generated content is also incredibly cost effective. No need to pay for a photographer, videographer, or even a social media specialist. Although user generated content does need monitoring, to ensure the right message is being shared with your customers, it is a low-effort strategy with the potential for huge returns.

 

Leveraging User Generated Content

So what strategies could you adopt to leverage user generated content at your next events?

Firstly, you need to make it as easy as possible for your users to share their images. Websites like EventsAlbum are great tools for creating a QR code for your own event album, which you can easily share with your guests. The easier it is for your guests to share content, the more likely they will.

Creating a memorable hashtag for your event and encouraging attendees to use it is also a good strategy if you want your guests to share their content straight to social media, but beware! This approach means that all content, both good and bad, will go straight to your customer base.

Finally, don’t be afraid to incentivise the sharing of user generated content at your event, if the budget allows. This will encourage attendees to share their images to your event album. Perhaps free product or product discount codes for every shared image that you go on to share to your own social media accounts?

 

Showcasing User Generated Content

Some examples of successful user generated content campaigns include Starbucks' White Cup Contest, which encouraged customers to doodle on their coffee cups and then share the images with the brand. Or the Share a Coke campaign, where Coca-Cola drinkers were asked to share photos of themselves and their friends with the drink, in the hopes of winning a prize.

Harness these examples by encouraging your customers to share their event images and using these so that your brand can benefit from this user generated content.

 

Conclusion

User generated content is an important part of any modern event. And websites such as EventsAlbum mean that sharing that content is easier than ever, with no risks. There is even an option to approve photos before they're displayed if you think there's a chance someone might upload something inappropriate. Then, you can choose which images you go on to share on social media

Promote your brand, build trust and credibility and interact with your customers without breaking the bank.

The Journey of a Photo: From Capture to Sharing

In the age of smartphones and digital cameras, photos have become an integral part of how we capture memories. Each snapshot is a moment frozen in time, waiting to be shared, cherished, and displayed. But what happens after the click? Let’s take a journey through the life of a photo, from the moment it’s taken to all the wonderful ways it can be preserved and shared.

The Click — Capturing the Moment

Whether it’s a family holiday, birthday celebration, or just a funny moment with friends, every photo starts with a click (or a tap). In 2023 alone, 1.4 trillion photos were taken globally. That’s an average of 185 photos per person for the year! With the rise of smartphones, it’s never been easier to capture moments on the go, but what happens next?

Smartphone vs Camera image, 85% of photos are now taken on smartphones

The Edit — Enhancing the Image

Once captured, many photos go through a quick editing process. It’s estimated that 68% of smartphone users edit their images before sharing them. From adjusting brightness to adding filters, simple tweaks can transform an average photo into a masterpiece.

 

The Storage — Keeping Your Memories Safe

Before sharing, it’s important to ensure your photos are properly stored. With the sheer volume of photos we take, organising them can feel overwhelming. This is where professional services, like Spoony Photos, come in. We help you organise, scan, and even digitise old photos and slides, ensuring your memories are safe and accessible for generations.

The Presentation — Bringing Photos to Life

Now, here’s where the real fun begins! Photos don’t have to stay stuck on your phone or hard drive. There are countless ways you can present and enjoy them:

Photo Albums: A timeless classic, photo albums let you create a physical collection of your favourite moments. They are perfect for special occasions like weddings, baby milestones, or family reunions.

Bespoke Photobooks: A modern take on traditional albums, custom photobooks allow for a personalised and creative display of your memories. You can design them to tell a story, with text, layout designs, and high-quality printing for a premium feel.

Slideshows: For digital lovers, slideshows are a great way to share multiple images at once. They’re perfect for birthdays, weddings, or any event where you want to showcase memories on a big screen. Adding music or narration can make them even more special.

Digital Frames: Displaying photos in a rotating digital frame brings your memories to life in real time. With constant updates, it’s like a never-ending stream of your favourite moments in your home.

Wall Art: Want to transform a room? Turn your favourite photos into wall art with canvas prints, framed enlargements, or photo collages. Approximately 25% of Americans report using their personal photos as part of their home decor.

 

The Sharing — Spreading Joy

The next step is sharing your memories with others. Social media has made it easier than ever to instantly share photos, with 3.2 billion images
being uploaded to social platforms every day. But what about more personal events?

That’s where innovative services like EventsAlbum come in. EventsAlbum provides QR codes for events, allowing guests to take and upload photos in real-time. This not only ensures everyone can contribute to the memory collection but also provides an instant and easy way for everyone to share the event's photos. Whether it's a wedding, birthday party, or corporate gathering, the QR code makes it seamless for all attendees to capture and share their moments.

Evolution Of Event Photo Sharing

Photo sharing at events is not a new concept.

From people printing out extra copies of their graduation photos to share with family and friends to leaving disposable cameras on each table of their wedding reception, innovation has driven how we share our photos. But the desire to share has always been there. 

Now, photo sharing websites like EventsAlbum make event photo sharing easier than it’s ever been. But how did we get there? 

Here is a brief guide to the evolution of event photo sharing. 

 

From Disposable Cameras to Apps

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, event photo sharing digitally was unheard of, and the biggest innovation, particularly for weddings, was to place a disposable camera on each table. Guests could snap a photo or two, and then the happy couple could print these photos and see their wedding day from everyone’s unique perspective. 

Having used these at my own wedding, I can tell you that what people mostly got was blurry group shots, food pics, and the occasional unwanted bum! 

In the early 2000s photo sharing websites such as Flickr, Photobucket, and Shutterfly came onto the scene. These allowed users to store and share images. But they were clunky to use and required users to sign up as members, meaning they didn’t really take off as an events photo sharing tool. 

In the 2010s, with the onset of wedding websites, we saw the first event photo sharing websites and apps. This is a trend that has only grown and evolved into the QR sharing high-quality websites that are so popular today. 

 

Modern Advancements

The latest trends and innovations in photo sharing make the hassle of using disposable cameras seem archaic. Now, the most common way to encourage your guests to share their event photos is via a simple QR code. 

There are several reasons why this evolution is so significant. It means that event attendees don't have to download an app or become a member of a website. They can share their photos with ease, at the click of a button. 

Modern event photo sharing websites bridge generations. They are accessible to anyone with a smartphone and require no real technical knowledge to use. 

Finally, sharing the QR code is easy. Include it in your invitations, print it and put it on each table. It’s a system that is just as easy for the event organiser as it is for the event attendees! 

 

Future Possibilities 

So what’s next for the world of event photo sharing? It’s impossible to predict the future, but we do know that the desire to share images isn’t going anywhere. A picture paints a thousand words, and the increasing importance of social media means that imagery is more valuable than ever. 

As AI continues to grow in popularity and importance, we may see AI image tagging and photo recognition play a role in event photo sharing, making it even easier for event planners to organise the images they gather from their events. 

The types of events that choose to use event photo sharing are likely to grow too. Event photo sharing isn’t just for weddings and corporate events! It can be used for any event where people are gathered and taking photographs. 

 

Conclusion

Event photo sharing is a new technology but an important one. It’s been a fascinating journey in a relatively short time frame. But there is great potential for the world of event photo sharing to continue to grow and evolve.

What is clear is that this is a trend that isn’t going anywhere! Try your free demo today!

Best Practices For Event Photo Sharing Sites

Event photo sharing sites are soaring in popularity for events of all types. From corporate events to personal occasions—such as weddings and even birthday parties—photo sharing sites make gathering images of important events easier than ever.

But it’s important to use your photo sharing sites effectively. Wondering how? Here’s everything you need to know.

Pre-event Planning: Tips For Setting Up Your Site Before An Event

Setting up your site before an event is so easy when you work with a website like EventsAlbum. One of the perks of this system is that no app is required and there’s nothing for your guests to download. They can just scan the QR code and start uploading photos.

Create your event, generate a QR code and link in a few seconds. The main tip to be aware of is to do this in plenty of time: if you do this in the earlier stages of your event planning then you can include the QR code in your event invitations and on your event website.

Engaging Attendees: Strategies For Encouraging Guest Participation

Once you’ve created your event in EventsAlbum and have the QR code ready to share with your guests, you’ll need to encourage guest participation. After all, event photo sharing only works if your guests want to share their photos!

Some tips and strategies for encouraging guest participation include:

- Before your event even starts you can share the QR code with your guests. Put it on your event invitations so that guests can visit the EventsAlbum website in advance and be prepared.

- Share a clear call to action with your QR codes. It’s not enough to simply give guests a QR code: you also need to give them clear instructions on what to do. Keep it simple. “Scan to share photos” is clear and effective.

- Display the QR code prominently throughout your event. Place it on walls, posters, and each table. Pick strategic locations such as on the bar and at the entrance to the venue to maximise visibility.

 

Post-event Follow-Up: Explain How To Preserve Memories After The Event

Once your event is over, you’ll have all the images shared from your event in one easy-to-access location.

When you choose to work with EventsAlbum you can visit the website and download the full high-resolution photos your guests uploaded. EventsAlbum don't resize the images or reduce the quality at all, so they should be print quality if taken on a modern smartphone. This is particularly helpful for business users who may want to use the imagery they gather on social media or in marketing materials.

You’re advised to download your images from your event album as soon as is convenient for you. EventsAlbum will store your event photos for a year after your event date and you can download them at any time, but you don’t want to leave this to the last minute!

Conclusion

Event photo sharing is easy and effective. It is convenient for guests and increases guest engagement, maximising the imagery you gather from your event, whilst also allowing you to see your event from a whole new perspective.

From an event organiser’s point of view, event photo sharing sites also make it easier for you to gather your imagery and keep it organised. All of your photos are in one place for you to download and process in a way that best suits you or your business.

Real-life Stories: Success With Photo Sharing

5 stars

EventsAlbum is a website that allows you to create an online album for your wedding or event. Simply set up your event, create a QR code and let your guests scan the code and upload photos.  

Wondering what people think of EventsAlbum? And whether it will really work for you and your special event? Here are some real-life stories and reviews highlighting success with photo sharing via EventAlbum.

EventsAlbum for Personal Events 

EventsAlbum can be used for all kinds of different events, including corporate events and personal events. But perhaps one of the most popular uses of the tool is for private events such as weddings. 

Our first user journey is an experience from a wedding and reflects many of the EventsAlbum wedding experiences. The user shares that “Events Album is so easy to set up and use. We used it for our wedding; it was lovely to see photos of family and friends enjoying themselves and to see the day from a range of perspectives. Would definitely recommend. We had about 600 photos to remind us of a really happy day." 

This highlights both the ease of use and the ease of set-up from the event planner's perspective too. QR codes can be shared with guests at the wedding by putting them on tables, screens, or other easy-to-access spaces. But they could also be shared in advance in invitations or on wedding websites.  

This review also emphasises one of the most popular aspects of the EventsAlbum tool: wedding couples can experience their special day from the perspective of their guests, adding another dynamic to their perspective of the day.  

EventsAlbum for Professional Events  

EventsAlbum can also be used for professional events, such as corporate events, conferences, product launches, and many more. A picture is worth a thousand words, and this is a great way to gather as many user-generated images for your brand or business as possible.  

One such company used EventsAlbum to organise a high school reunion. The review stated that “The website and set up was extremely user friendly and an easy application for the attendees at our 60th high school reunion. Uploading, viewing and downloading the photos is very efficient and easy, plus having them available in high res makes it even better.” 

Key notes from this review highlight the efficiency of uploading, viewing, and downloading images. This means that when you’re organising a large event, your image generation will be organised with ease.  

Positive User Experiences  

The positive user experiences that we could share with you here are near-endless. But other noteworthy positive user experiences include:  

“What a fantastic concept EventsAlbum is. We added the QR code to a wedding magazine we had provided for our guests so they could share photos of our wedding in the moment. We used the live gallery function on a TV screen we hired so all of our wedding guests could see everyone’s photos throughout the day. We now have access to so many great photos that our guests captured of our wedding day. A truly great concept at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend anyone to use EventsAlbum.” 

“Great program for events. Guests can upload unlimited photos. And they can view in the gallery.” 

“This was so amazing to use. So hard when you have an event to get photos, but directing your attendees to use a QR code to upload their pics to, amazing. Will definitely use again in the future!” 

EventsAlbum is a website that can have a significant impact on your event, whether personal or professional. And the sheer volume of real-life success stories to support the site demonstrates just how valuable it can be.  

Creating Lasting Memories: Event Photo Albums

viewing photos on a mobile phone

Some of our most prized possessions aren’t possessions at all. They’re memories. And one of the best ways to keep memories alive is through photographs.

One of the best ways to share and store your photos and your memories is with Events Albums. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday party, or family holiday, you can see the event through the eyes of your guests and easily gather and share photos with everyone.

Here’s everything you need to know about using this unique tool to create lasting event memories.

Building Albums

The good news is that creating event albums is easy. The EventsAlbum website is intuitive and easy to use.

To create an album you will need to sign up for an account on the EventsAlbum website, then when you have an account you can select ‘New Event’ and then choose a name for your event. You will also be asked to share the date on which your event is taking place.

At that point, you click ‘Create an Event’ and your album is ready to use. It really is that simple! EventsAlbum is incredibly easy to use, which makes it an appealing choice for everyone, no matter their level of technical ability.

Album Options

You can customise the name of the Album, which is a great feature if you have several albums for several events.

You can also choose to include a live scrolling gallery—which can be displayed at the event on screen—showing photos as they are uploaded.

You also have the option to approve images before they appear in the live gallery—particularly good for public events.

Sharing With Guests

Once you have created your album and honed it to suit your unique needs, you can share it with your guests. This is perhaps the easiest part of all, designed to ensure even the most technophobic guests can still join the fun!

When you create your event you get a QR code that will link to your album on the EventsAlbum site. Your guests then scan the QR code or enter the link and they can easily upload all the photos they've taken, no need for them to create an account or download a specific app. It really is that easy!

Conclusion

When escaping a burning building, so many people say that the possession they would save is their photo albums. When material possessions are taken or threatened, we think of our photos, because memories matter most.

EventAlbum allows you to gather your memories and then store them in the way that best suits your needs. Choose to print them and have a tangible album, or download them to an online album. Meaning that you can access them anytime, and anywhere (even if all your physical possessions are lost somehow).

EventsAlbum will store your images for one year from your event date, giving you plenty of time to decide what you’d like to do with them.

When you use EventsAlbum, sharing your memories becomes a group experience: something you do communally with those you love to create a much larger pool of photographs and memories.

 

 

 



Event Photo Sharing Made Easy: a Step-by-step Guide

group looking at phone

Event photo sharing is the ‘next big thing’ in the events sector. Imagery is so valuable for reaching wider audiences, for sharing on social media, or even for strengthening bonds with friends and family. 

And using a tool like EventsAlbum will make event photo sharing easy. 

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use EventsAlbum to make the very simple process even simpler: 

Step 1: Account Setup 

To create an EventsAlbum account, simply visit the registration page on the website here. You’ll need to enter your email address and create a password.

You then need to check your email account for a confirmation email from EventsAlbum which will be titled ‘please confirm your account’. Click on the link in that email and your account will be all set up. It really is that simple! 

You can then create your own Event Album: to do this you give your event a name (our wedding, or my 40th birthday, for example) and enter the date that it’s taking place before making the payment. Each Event is charged a flat rate regardless of its size, so the bigger the party the better! 

Step 2: Uploading Photos

There’s no need to download an app, share any details or personal information, or create an account if you’re a guest who just wants to upload an event photo. 

Once you’ve set up your event you will be given your own handy and unique QR code. You can share this with guests in so many ways! Via email, by printing it on your event invitations, or by displaying it prominently across your event venue. 

All guests need to do is scan the QR code and then use this to add any photos they’ve taken on their phone, straight from their phone. 

Step 3: Sharing With Guests 

The whole process is easy to do and only takes a few seconds. What you choose to do with all those images when you’ve got them is entirely up to you! 

Perhaps you could share the EventsAlbum with all of your guests so they can see all the unique moments from your event? This is one of the most popular approaches taken by EventsAlbum customers and is a great way to nurture relationships and build a good rapport with your event attendees. 

Conclusion

Using the EventsAlbum website is so simple and easy. That’s one of its charms! Not only will it take just a couple of minutes for you to set up, but it’s also incredibly straightforward for your guests or attendees to use too. 

People are fundamentally lazy and will always follow the path of least resistance. So the easier it is for your guests to share their photos with you, the more likely they are to do it. Meaning you’ll capture a whole host of amazing images from your event that you might not otherwise have seen.
