What is a QR code for wedding or marriage photos?

It is a scannable image that, when you point your mobile camera at it, takes you to a private gallery where guests can upload photos and videos from the event in seconds.

Do guests need to install an app to upload photos with the QR code?

No. In most solutions, you simply open the mobile camera, scan the QR code and follow the link to upload photos and videos directly.

How is a QR code generated for my wedding or marriage?

First, create a digital gallery on a compatible platform (for example, Eventocam). The platform automatically generates a QR code that links to that gallery. You just need to download and print it or share it digitally.

Is it safe and private to share wedding photos using a QR code?

Yes. Specialised platforms allow you to enable a password, private links and moderation options. Only people who have the QR code or the URL will be able to view and upload content.

Where can I place the QR code on the wedding day so everyone uses it?

It is recommended to include it in invitations, entrance signage, menu cards, napkin rings and venue screens. Add a clear message alongside it: "Scan and upload your photos here".

Can the photos uploaded by guests be projected in real time?

Yes. Some platforms allow you to show the gallery on a screen or projector to liven up the drinks reception, banquet or party with photos and videos being uploaded live.

Can I customise the QR code design to match the wedding style?

Of course. You can print it in high quality, use colours that match the wedding stationery and even add icons or the couple’s monogram, while keeping enough contrast for reliable scanning.

What happens to the photos and videos after the event?

The couple have an organised gallery to view, download and share. You can also create a digital album or a highlight video with the best moments.

Is this suitable for weddings in Spain and marriages in Latin America?

Yes. The system works globally: whether it is called "boda" (Spain) or "matrimonio"/"casamiento" (Latin America), guests scan the same QR code and take part without complications.

Which platform is recommended to create the gallery and the QR code?

A specialised platform such as Eventocam provides the private gallery, easy mobile uploads and automatic QR generation, streamlining the experience for the couple and their guests.

Digital wedding album: create a QR code and collect photos from all your guests

The wedding day — or matrimonio, as it’s called in many Latin American countries — is full of unrepeatable moments. The couple wants to treasure every smile, every dance and every detail. And it’s not only the official photographer’s shots that matter: the images captured by guests are part of the story too.

The question is: how can all those photos and videos be gathered easily, neatly and privately?
The answer is simple: a QR code for your wedding.

What is a QR code and why is it ideal for a wedding?

A QR code (Quick Response) is a square graphic that, when scanned with a mobile camera, redirects to a link.

In the context of a wedding or matrimonio:

Guests scan it and access a private digital gallery.
They can upload their photos and videos instantly.
All the memories are centralised in one place.

A QR code turns WhatsApp group chaos into an organised, fun and innovative experience.

Benefits of using a QR code for wedding or matrimonio photos

Centralised memories

It doesn’t matter if the celebration is in Madrid, Mexico City, Bogotá or Buenos Aires. With a QR code, all the content lands in the same digital space.

Easy for guests

Guests don’t need to register or download complicated apps. Just open the mobile camera, scan, and start uploading.

Real-time memories

Images and videos are saved as the party unfolds. They can even be projected on screens to liven up the reception.

Security and privacy

Specialised platforms like Eventocam offer password-protected private access. Only people with the QR code can participate.

A more engaging experience

The QR code turns the gallery into a collaborative game. Every guest wants to add their photos.

Real success stories

An intimate wedding in Spain

Ana and Marcos printed the QR code on their invitations. On the wedding day, with just 70 guests, they collected over 450 spontaneous photos, which they later used in their digital album.

A matrimonio in Mexico

Daniela and José placed the QR code in the banquet hall. Their 200 guests uploaded more than 100 short video clips, which they edited into a fun montage to share on social media.

Tips for a successful QR code

Test it beforehand: ask family members to scan it before the big day.
Explain how it works: add a clear note next to the QR code: “Scan and upload your photos here”.
Use good print quality: a blurry QR code may fail to scan.
Encourage participation: promise a final montage with the most entertaining photos.
