Photo Quest — made by a wedding photographer

A QR code photo game for your wedding guests

Every guest scans the code on their table and gets three small photo missions of their own. No app, no sign-up. Every photo lands in one private gallery you keep — and on the big screen, if you like.

£39 per event, paid once. Set it up and preview it free.

Why I made it

The corners of the day I can’t be in.

As your photographer, I’m with the two of you for most of the day. That means there are always moments I’m not there for: the table that cried laughing during the speeches, the cousins who met for the first time, the shoes kicked off under the dance floor. Your guests see all of it. Most of it never leaves their phones.

A plain “share your photos” QR code tends to get a handful of blurry uploads late at night. What gets people taking pictures is a reason to — a small, specific mission like someone mid-laugh or two people who just met tonight. That’s the whole idea behind Photo Quest: a wedding photo scavenger hunt where every guest has their own three missions, and everything they take ends up in one place for you.

It doesn’t need you to book me, and it isn’t only for weddings. It works for engagement parties, birthdays, christenings and work events too.

How it works

Ten minutes to set up. No app for anyone.

01

Set it up

Add your names and date, write a welcome note, and choose missions from a bank of 100 — or write your own, like “Find Uncle Dave and his famous moustache”. Preview exactly what your guests will see before you pay.

02

Print your table cards

Each table gets its own QR code on a printable card, plus a welcome sign for the entrance. You can also send the link with your invitations or pop it on your wedding website.

03

Guests play

Guests scan, get three missions and snap away. When they finish a round they can start another. A table leaderboard adds a bit of friendly rivalry, and photos appear on a live slideshow if you have a screen.

04

Keep every photo

Browse the gallery the same evening. Afterwards, download every photo full size in one go, sorted by mission or by table, and share the gallery link with your guests.

What makes it different

A game, not just an upload link.

01

Three missions each

Every guest gets their own set rather than one shared list. Missions with the fewest photos are handed out most, so you end up with every one covered instead of forty photos of the cake.

02

No app, no sign-up

Guests open it with their phone camera. Photos are made smaller on the phone before they upload, so it copes with patchy countryside signal and busy venue Wi-Fi.

03

Every table, its own code

See which table took which photo, filter the gallery by table, and let the leaderboard settle who had the most fun.

04

English and Cymraeg

The guest page, gallery and printed cards can be in English, Welsh or both, with guests choosing their language. Natural for a Mid Wales wedding.

The moments missions find

Candid, funny, a little chaotic.

A few of the missions guests are given, next to the kind of moment they’re made for.

These photographs are mine. Your guests’ will be taken on phones — and that’s exactly the point.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is a wedding photo scavenger hunt?+

A wedding photo scavenger hunt gives guests small photo challenges to complete during the day — someone mid-laugh, the best dance move of the night. With Photo Quest each guest scans a QR code and gets three missions of their own, and every photo goes into one shared gallery.

Do our guests need to download an app?+

No. Guests point their phone camera at the QR code and a web page opens. There’s no app, no account and no password. Adding their name is optional, and it’s credited on every photo they share.

How much does it cost?+

£39 per event, paid once by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. There’s no subscription and no charge per guest. You can set everything up and preview it for free, and only pay when you’re ready to go live.

Does a QR code photo game replace a wedding photographer?+

No. Your photographer tells the story of the day; your guests fill in the corners — the table you weren’t at, the bit of the speeches you missed, the view from the back of the dance floor. The two work well together. If you’re booking me for your wedding, ask about adding Photo Quest.

Who can see the photos?+

Only people with your private gallery link. Galleries are hidden from search engines, location data is removed from every photo, and you can hide any photo or make a new gallery link at any time.

Can it be in Welsh?+

Yes. The guest page, gallery, slideshow and printed cards can be in English, Welsh, or both — guests choose their language with a single tap.

How many guests and photos can we have?+

There’s no limit on guests, and each event holds up to 2,000 photos. Photos are resized on the guest’s phone before uploading, which keeps it quick on busy venue Wi-Fi.

Does it work for parties and other events?+

Yes — engagement parties, birthdays, christenings, work events and charity nights. Wedding-only missions are left out automatically for other occasions.
