Collecting photos

We had a dropbox link where guests could send us copies of their photos as well as a hashtag for social media.

At the reception, you can always have a note to have guests send pictures to your facebook, twitter profile or by email. This will allow you to save it to pictures file. There is a link on WW as well to have your guests add their pictures once added their email address and they accept then add all the pictures.

Enable everyone's email address you know and get them to do so once the wedding is over.

View quoted message I was thinking of just having a photo album, but I like the sound of a frame too!

Thank you!

I'm thinking the typical hashtag thing but I love some of these other ideas like dropbox. I'm curious if anyone has used any of these websites that collect picts, and do they work?

Oh this is a great idea for getting ceremony footage!

View quoted message Thank you ! Yes we are. Our officiant and photographer recommended it. We might set up a go pro attached to the arch. Or a cam corded on a tripod to get some ceremony footage. Haven’t decided yet.

These are fantastic! and it looks like it is all stuff from the reception/cocktail hour, are you doing an unplugged ceremony?

Oh a polaroid guestbook sounds fun! I never thought of doing something like that! Are you going to put them all in a frame afterwards?

This is such a cute idea!

Most of our guests will be my FH's family that he isn't close to, so I actually don't really care about getting too many candids. Our close friends will use our wedding hashtag, though - on snapchat and instagam.

We're using a hashtag, photobooth and having a Polaroid guestbook so we'll be able to capture all of our guests!!

We’re going to use a wedding hashtag for Instagram!

Otherwise, I’m sure people will tag us on Facebook.

I made these up and they are going on all the place settings. . They look even better now that they are printed at cut out on card stock.
And then just hoping guests upload with the hashtag ! I’m sure if older guests take photos they will email them or something. But this should encourage guests to capture some candids

We will also probably have the MC mention it, and that photos can be emailed as well.

And then we have a photo booth as well. Where all the guests get a print out, and can text them to themselves. And then we get a usb after with all of the photos.

I'm using the hashtag in hopes that they use it but otherwise I will have the wedshoots app on our wedding website as well as I will be making a FB post encouraging people to send me photo's they took on private message

There are quite a few apps now that people can share them all on if this is best. My one friend who is getting married is also setting up a dropbox account for everyone to send them the photos through.

I never thought of this. We don't have a hashtag or anything so I'm not really sure how well do this. Better start thinking of ideas soon! Lol

I have majority of everyone coming to our wedding on Facebook. So I will make sure they post all their pictures online after our wedding and then i can go through and save the ones I want.

Also asking guests to email them to me. I am not a fan of the hashtag, so we are not doing one.

I am hoping people use our hashtag we have and most of our people are old school so I didn't want to do the wedshots. Thought about asking to email and passing the word around that way.
