Guides and stories on collecting the photos your guests take, written by the people who run Mosaikin.
A QR code for wedding photos is a printed code that opens your shared album when a guest points their phone camera at it. They add photos and videos from the browser, with no app and no account. Mosaikin gives every event one code, a printable poster to carry it, and a check on every photo before it appears.

A wedding photo wall is a live slideshow of your guests’ photos on the venue’s screen. With Mosaikin, guests scan a QR code and upload from the browser, and each photo appears on the wall moments after it passes its check. No hashtag, no app, and nobody refreshing a laptop all evening.

To collect photos from wedding guests, give them one place to put photos that costs them nothing: no app, no account, no chasing afterwards. A QR code on the tables that opens a shared album does exactly that. The group chat, a shared drive and disposable cameras all work too, and each loses something this guide names.

The disposable camera alternative most couples land on is a QR code on every table that opens one shared album. Guests use the phone already in their pocket, every photo arrives that evening at full display size, and nothing waits weeks at a lab. Keep a few cameras for the fun of it if you love them.

How to share photos from a party: one album and one link. With Mosaikin, guests scan a QR code and add photos and videos from their phone’s browser: no app, no account. A birthday, a hen weekend or a baby shower lands in one gallery, on the telly as they arrive, and the host upgrades once to keep the lot.

If you want a family album app that grows for years, Mosaikin is not it. It is for one family gathering: a reunion, a christening or a big birthday, with its own link, guest list and photo allowance. Every generation can join from a browser, and on an upgraded event the family keeps every photo as one download.

The wedding hashtag alternative that works is a shared album guests add to straight from their phones. A hashtag only finds public posts, so private accounts, quiet guests and everyone who never posts are missing. A QR code on the tables that opens one album gathers their photos without anyone posting anything.

You can run a social wall without social media: attendees scan a QR code and add photos from their phone’s browser straight to a live slideshow on the venue screen, with no app, no account and no hashtag. Every photo is checked before it appears, and your team decides what reaches the screen.

To gather celebration of life photos, give family and friends one private place to add them from their own phones, old pictures included. With Mosaikin they scan a QR code or open a link sent with the details, and add photos from the browser, with no app and no account. The family decides who sees them, and keeps them.

School prom photos and GDPR fit together when the photos go into one album the school controls rather than a dozen group chats. Photos of identifiable pupils are personal data, so the album should be private, every photo checked before anyone sees it, location data stripped, and any parent able to have a photo taken down.

When a photo app shuts down, the photos only it held can go with it. WedPics closed in 2019, Eversnap was absorbed into Snappr in 2020, and The Knot retired the app it bought as Veri in 2022. The protection that always works is your own copy, downloaded early, in one file.

The best photo scavenger hunt ideas send guests towards people and moments they would otherwise miss: the oldest guest, the whole table at once, the dance floor from inside it. Here are twelve missions, six from Mosaikin’s ready-made sets and six of our own ideas, and how timing, points and a leaderboard bring a room in.

Photo uploads on venue WiFi survive because nothing depends on the connection holding. Each photo is kept on the guest’s own phone until it is safely saved, shrunk in the browser so it sends quickly, and retried by itself when the signal returns. Videos go in pieces, so a drop resumes rather than restarts.

A guest photo highlight reel is a short video made from the photos your guests took, ready to send round the morning after. On an upgraded Mosaikin event it is built from your public photos as an MP4 with gentle panning, led by the photos you pinned and shaped by what guests liked.

A digital wedding guestbook lets guests sign from their own phones, in the same place they add their photos. With Mosaikin each guest writes a public message, puts their name to it and can leave a private note only you read. Afterwards, on an upgraded event, the messages become a typeset book to print.

To brief guests to take photos you will keep, tell them once, early, and specifically: what to photograph, where the photos go, and that they need no app. Ask for the moments a photographer cannot reach, give them a list to play with, and say it again from the microphone. Vague requests get blurry crowds.

For awards night photos from every table, give attendees a QR code that opens one album in their phone’s browser, with no app and no account. Each guest agrees before their first upload, your team decides what reaches the big screen, and the next morning you send one email with the album and a highlight reel.

When printing guest photos, the number that matters is pixels on the longest edge. A guest’s photo reaches Mosaikin at up to 4096 pixels, which is plenty for a 6×4 or 7×5 print and good to around A4. Bigger than that, ask the guest for the original from their phone.

Creating an event is free, and guests never need an app or an account. Upgrade that one event for the whole album, every keepsake and room for thousands of photos.
