How to Collect Wedding Photos via QR Code: A Step-by-Step Guide

Dozens of guests shoot hundreds of photos and videos on their phones at your wedding — but most of that content stays stuck on their devices, and you never see it. Your photographer can't catch everything: an aunt laughing during the ceremony, a spontaneous laugh on the dance floor, a toast at the back table. This guide walks through a practical way to collect these moments without losing any of them.

Step 1: Create your event

When you create an event for your wedding in Memoirbox, a unique QR code is generated for you automatically. This QR code takes guests straight to your event's upload page — no app download required.

Step 2: Add the QR code to tables or your invitation

You can add the QR code to place cards, a wedding sign, or your invitation. When guests scan it with their phone camera, they land directly on the upload screen in their browser — no sign-up, no password to remember, no app to install.

Step 3: Approve what's uploaded

Every photo and video your guests upload goes through your approval before it appears in the shared gallery or live slideshow — so there's no risk of unwanted or inappropriate content being shared.

Step 4: Light up the room with a live slideshow

If you like, stream your approved photos as a live slideshow on a screen at the venue — a fun, surprising moment right in the middle of the celebration.

Step 5: Download everything after the wedding

You'll get a reminder email before your storage period ends. Download every photo and video as a single zip file and archive it without losing a single shot.
