WeddingPhoto App feature
Collect Wedding Videos From Guests
Bring short guest recordings into the same event collection while accounting for the file sizes and upload conditions video requires.

Short answer
WeddingPhoto App accepts guest video clips alongside photos. Guests open the event link, select recordings from their phone, and upload them to the couple's private collection. Because video is larger and slower to transfer, test it separately from photos.
What guest video adds
A still image cannot preserve the sound of a table cheering, a spontaneous speech, or the movement of the dance floor. Guest clips provide informal viewpoints that complement a professional wedding film rather than replacing its audio, direction, and continuous coverage.
Plan for larger transfers
| Issue | Photo behavior | Video behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Upload time | Usually short | Can be much longer on weak networks |
| Feedback | A batch may finish quickly | Progress and completion are essential |
| Storage | Many files fit in modest space | A few clips can dominate the archive |
| Playback | Broad format support | Codecs and orientation need verification |
Test representative phones and clips
Upload a portrait clip and a landscape clip from iPhone and Android, including one near the length guests are likely to record. Download them as the host and verify sound, orientation, duration, and playback. Repeat over cellular data.
Give guests realistic guidance
Invite “photos and short videos” rather than asking everyone to film the full ceremony. Tell guests to keep the page open until completion and allow them to upload later if reception coverage is poor.
Back up before editing
Keep an untouched copy of every downloaded clip before transcoding or making a highlight film. Large media is slower to move and easier to omit accidentally, so compare file counts and archive size after export.
Make the ask easy
Collect the photos guests actually took.
Give guests one QR code, let them upload from the browser, and keep the gallery under your control. Photos, videos, late uploads, and one download when you are ready.
