Your Guests' Photos, Live on the Screen

Guests scan a code and send photos from their own phones. The ones you approve go up on a screen at the reception, minutes after they were taken.

You decide what appears. Nothing reaches the screen until you say so, and you can take anything back down from your phone.

It runs from a laptop plugged into the venue's projector or television. There is nothing for your guests to install.

How the night runs

Four steps, and the middle one is yours. The screen is a web page, so the only thing the venue has to provide is something to show it on.

  1. 1

    Set the screen up

    Open the wall page on a laptop and plug it into the venue's projector or television. Load a few of your own photos beforehand so there is something on the screen before the first guest walks in.

  2. 2

    Guests scan

    A code sits on the screen all evening. A guest points a phone at it, your gallery opens in the browser, and they send a photo. No app to download and no account to make.

  3. 3

    You approve

    Every guest photo waits until you approve it. You do that from your own phone, one at a time or several at once, without leaving the room or looking at a laptop.

  4. 4

    It goes up

    Approved photos appear on the screen within a few seconds. Later in the evening you can let new ones through on their own, and you can still take any of them down.

What is on the screen

The screen is split into two parts that cannot overlap, so the thing everybody is looking at is never covered by something they are not.

The wall screen with one photograph filling the picture area and the reserved strip beside it, holding the couple's monogram at the top and the card with the QR code near the bottom. The photograph stops where the strip begins.

Your monogram and the code have their own space

A strip down the right-hand side is kept for your initials and the QR code guests scan. Photographs are drawn in the rest of the screen and never inside that strip, in any layout, so a code is never sitting across somebody's face. The space is reserved even when the strip is empty, which means the picture area never changes size and nothing jumps as photos come and go.

Three ways to fill the screen, switched while the party is running

  • The wall screen showing one photograph across the whole picture area, with the monogram and the QR card in the reserved strip on the right.

    One at a time

    A single photograph, as large as the screen allows. Good early on, when there are only a handful and each one deserves a look.

  • The wall screen showing two photographs side by side, with the monogram and the QR card in the reserved strip on the right.

    Two side by side

    Two photographs together. This is the one most weddings sit on once the photos start arriving faster than one at a time can show them.

  • The wall screen showing four photographs in a grid of two rows and two columns, with the monogram and the QR card in the reserved strip on the right.

    A grid of four

    Four at once, for the part of the evening when everybody is taking pictures. If there are not enough approved photos to fill it, the screen steps down a rung rather than leaving a gap.

These are the wall screen itself, captured from the browser that runs it. The pictures on it are illustrations, not photographs from a real wedding.

Everything you need

Nothing goes up until you say so

Guest photos wait in a queue and reach the screen only when you approve them. That is the default and it stays on unless you change it.

Run it from your phone

Approve, skip, switch the layout and change the pace from a phone screen built for one hand in a dark room. You never have to walk back to the laptop.

One control stops the wall

If something goes up that should not have, one control stops the whole thing. A photo already on the screen clears within about twelve seconds, and closing the wall tab or switching the projector off is instant.

Let it run on its own later

Once the evening is going you can let new photos through without approving each one. It only applies from the moment you switch it, so the ones you already skipped stay skipped.

Start with your own photos

Add your own pictures before the day and they go straight to the screen. An empty wall at seven o'clock is the thing that stops guests joining in, so most couples put a handful up first.

Every photo stays in your gallery

The wall shows your wedding gallery, it is not a separate place. Everything guests send is still there the next morning to download or put in an album.

  • The wall remote on a phone. It says the wall is on and approved photos are showing, offers a Stop the wall button, reports four photos waiting, and shows the reviewing setting with a Switch to automatic button under it.
    The remote, on your phone. Whether the wall is running, how many photos are waiting, and the control that stops it.
  • The approval card on a phone, showing one waiting photograph with the time it arrived and two buttons under it, Keep off and Show on the wall.
    Each waiting photo gets two answers. Keep it off, or send it to the screen.
  • The wall screen before any photograph has been approved, showing the couple's monogram in the middle and the card with the QR code guests scan in the corner.
    Before the first photo arrives the screen carries your monogram and the code. Add a few of your own and the room has something to look at from the start.
