Why PicShots fits

Tuned for hotel ballrooms in Auckland

  • One gallery across multiple rooms

    Cocktails, ceremony, dinner, and dancing usually happen in different rooms. PicShots collects every candid into the same event gallery without the host moving anything between apps.

  • AV-friendly QR display

    Ballroom venues nearly always have screens and projectors. The QR code can be displayed on the welcome slide deck, on signage near the foyer, and printed on table cards.

  • No app install for hotel guests

    Half your guest list is already exhausted from check-in and travel. A scan-and-shoot browser flow is the only camera setup that consistently works for everyone.

  • Bulk download for the album

    Hotel weddings usually pair PicShots with a professional photographer. After the event, download the full ZIP and pass it to your editor for inclusion in the album.

Setup tips

Setup tips — hotel ballrooms in Auckland

  1. 1

    Print the QR on table cards

    Slot the QR next to the menu or favour at every table — couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single foyer QR.

  2. 2

    Display the QR on the welcome screen

    Hotel ballrooms nearly always have an LED screen near the entrance. Ask the AV team to loop your QR slide during cocktails.

  3. 3

    Mention it once at the speeches

    A 10-second MC mention before dinner doubles uploads on average. Frame it as 'help us collect every angle of the night'.

  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.
