What you get

Tuned for weddings in Kyoto

  • QR codes for every table

    Print one QR per table, slip another into the welcome sign. Guests scan, type their name, and start shooting in seconds.

  • Candid moments your photographer misses

    First-look reactions, table laughter, sparkler exits. The room captures angles a single photographer simply cannot be at.

  • Reveal the gallery on your terms

    Keep uploads private during the reception. Open the gallery the moment you want the room — or your future self — to see every shot.

  • Bulk ZIP download for your album

    Every guest's roll waiting for you in one folder. Hand it to your editor, print a thank-you book, or back it up alongside your photographer's gallery.

Setup tips

Setup tips for the wedding dayKyoto

  1. 1

    Print one QR per table

    Slot it next to the menu or favor. Couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single ceremony QR.

  2. 2

    Add the QR to your welcome sign

    Catches the cocktail-hour crowd before they put their phones away — usually your best candid window.

  3. 3

    Set a sensible per-guest limit

    20–30 shots keeps it candid and the gallery scannable. Bump higher if you want short video clips too.

  4. 4

    Use one QR across day and evening events

    When the day splits between a tea ceremony, lunch, and reception, the same QR keeps every candid in a single gallery instead of fragmenting them.

Is pricing shown in JPY?

No. Guests scan your QR or tap your link, type their name, and start shooting in the mobile browser. There is nothing to install on either side.

Can we hide uploads from other guests during the wedding?

Yes. Keep the gallery hidden during the day so guests only see their own photos. You can reveal the shared gallery any time — during the reception or weeks later.

What if someone uploads a photo we don't want public?

You can preview and delete any photo from the host dashboard before guests ever see the gallery. Guests can also delete their own uploads from the same phone.

Will it interfere with our photographer or videographer?

No. PicShots runs in guests' browsers and uses no extra gear at the venue. Most couples use it alongside their photographer, not instead of one.

Will guests' phones run out of storage?

No. Photos upload to your shared gallery, not to their camera roll. Their phone storage is untouched.
