Pass Gallery vs Candid Cam

Use the photographer gallery for delivery and the QR album for guest uploads.

Main job

Pass Gallery-style tools are usually built for photographer client delivery, proofing, downloads, and polished gallery presentation.

Candid Cam is built for collecting wedding guest phone photos and videos through one QR code before the final candid album is shared.

Guest upload path

A photographer gallery can be excellent for viewing finished photos, but it is not always the easiest upload path for every wedding guest.

Guests scan a QR code or open a link, then upload from the browser without a gallery login, app install, or shared-folder detour.

Review flow

The professional gallery should stay curated and separate from raw guest candids, duplicates, and quick reception videos.

Guest uploads can stay private until the couple approves what belongs in the shared wedding album.

Best fit

Use a Pass Gallery-style gallery for edited delivery, proofing, downloads, and the professional photo collection.

Use a QR guest album for reception candids, speeches, dance-floor clips, day-after reminders, and couple review.

Why couples add Candid Cam beside a gallery.

No client-gallery account

Guests contribute from iPhone or Android without creating an account or learning a photographer gallery workflow.

One QR code for guests

Use the same upload destination on signs, table cards, wedding websites, and day-after reminder texts.

Private couple review

Keep guest uploads separate from the polished photographer gallery until the couple approves the album.

Photos and videos together

Collect phone photos, short clips, speeches, and dance-floor moments in one guest upload queue.
