Why PicShots fits

Tuned for country estates in Auckland

  • One QR across multiple buildings

    Estate weddings move between the orangery, the great hall, and the gardens. PicShots collects uploads from every space into one shared gallery without any host effort.

  • Late-night candids included

    Estate weddings often run past midnight. Guests can keep uploading into the same gallery for as long as the camera flow stays open.

  • Reveal on your terms

    Many couples want the album curated before guests see anything. Keep the gallery hidden during the weekend and reveal it once you've reviewed every shot.

  • Bulk download for the family album

    Estate weddings are usually printed into albums or thank-you books. A single ZIP from the host dashboard gives you everything for the editor.

Setup tips

Setup tips — country estates in Auckland

  1. 1

    Place QR cards in welcome packs at check-in

    Estate weddings hand out welcome packs at arrival. Adding the QR there keeps the guest camera visible from Friday afternoon onward.

  2. 2

    Repeat the QR across rooms

    Estates have multiple drinks rooms and corridors. Repeat the QR in each space so guests rejoin the camera flow as they move through the building.

  3. 3

    Mention it at the welcome speech

    Most estate weddings open with a host welcome speech. A 10-second QR mention there is the single biggest lift in participation.

  4. 4

    Mention the QR before sunset

    The strongest candid window is right before sunset — a single MC reminder can double uploads compared to relying on a static card alone.
