So I did a thing. I hired a developer friend, and we built the thing I wished existed at my own wedding.
It's stupidly simple. You print a QR code and put it on the bar, the tables, wherever. Guests scan it with their phone — no app to download, no account to create, nothing — and just upload their photos and videos right there.
That's it. By the next morning everything's in one gallery. You download it all. Done.
I know it sounds like it should already exist. It kind of does — but every version I found either required an app (nobody downloads apps at weddings, trust me) or was some monthly subscription that felt like it was designed for corporate events, not for a backyard ceremony with your grandma.
