A Private Gallery for Wedding Guest Photos
Keep guest contributions in an event-specific space and make deliberate choices about who receives the link.

Short answer
A WeddingPhoto App gallery is shared through a specific event link rather than published as a searchable social album. Couples distribute that link by QR code or direct message. This provides privacy by controlled sharing, so the link should be handled with the same care as other event access details.
What private-by-link means
People need the event address to reach the collection. It is a practical fit for weddings because one link can serve many invited guests without an individual account for each person. It is not the same as end-to-end encryption or identity-based authorization.
Set the audience before sharing
Decide whether the link belongs only inside the venue, in the guest messaging group, or in broader post-wedding communication. Do not post it on public pages merely to make scanning convenient. Provide the URL directly to anyone who cannot scan the printed code.
Tell guests what happens to uploads
State whether other attendees can view pictures, whether the couple may include them in a later album, and where guests can raise a concern. Clear expectations are especially important when children, private family moments, or multi-day events are involved.
Review before wider distribution
Guest contributions can include duplicates, screenshots, accidental selections, or moments the subjects did not expect to be broadly shared. Review the collection before turning it into a family-wide highlight gallery or slideshow.
Own the final archive
Download the original collection, verify the export, and keep copies in at least two locations. Close contribution when it is no longer needed. A private gallery is part of the delivery process; your long-term preservation plan should not depend on a single link remaining online forever.
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.
