Pass Gallery vs ShootProof

Pass Gallery vs ShootProof: choose the gallery, then collect guest candids.

Pass Gallery and ShootProof are usually compared as photographer gallery and delivery tools. If the wedding also needs guest phone photos and videos, compare them beside a QR-first upload flow guests can use without installing anything.

Free to set up. Activate the live guest QR when the wedding is ready.

Decision checklist

Ask what the wedding actually needs from guests.

Couples do not usually care which gallery platform a photographer uses. They care whether guests can send the photos and videos the official gallery will never capture.

Are you choosing a photographer business platform, or solving guest photo collection?

Can guests contribute from a printed QR sign without downloading an app?

Can the couple review guest uploads before anything is shared?

Will the upload link work during the reception and in next-day reminders?

How will guest candids be handed to the couple, planner, or photographer after the wedding?

QR-first workflow

Use one upload destination before, during, and after the wedding.

Candids beside the gallery

Collect speeches, dance-floor videos, selfies, and table moments in one album.

Private review

Keep raw uploads private until the host is ready to share the polished album.

Is Pass Gallery or ShootProof better for wedding galleries?

Both are photographer gallery platforms. Compare gallery delivery, proofing, downloads, sales tools, workflow needs, pricing, and how each photographer prefers to deliver finished work.

Where does Candid Cam fit in a Pass Gallery vs ShootProof comparison?

Candid Cam is the guest upload layer to compare when the wedding needs phone photos and videos from guests, not only finished photographer gallery delivery.

Does Candid Cam replace Pass Gallery or ShootProof?

No. Candid Cam is not a photographer storefront, contract, invoice, or studio workflow tool. It covers the no-app guest collection job beside those platforms.

Do guests need an app to upload with Candid Cam?

No. Guests scan a QR code or open a link, then upload photos and videos from the phone browser.

Can guest uploads stay private first?

Yes. Guest uploads can stay private until the host chooses what belongs in the final shared album.
