What you missed
Your photographer captures the story. Your guests catch everything happening around it.
The table laughs, the dance-floor chaos, the quiet minute outside. Candid Cam gives all of those moments one place to land.

Simple enough for every guest. Controlled by you.
Build it before the wedding, test it yourself, then switch on guest uploads when you are ready.

Zero-risk setup
See the whole guest experience work before you pay.
Build the album, scan your QR code, upload a test photo, and review it. No card is required. Pay once only when you are ready for real guests.
Scan. Upload. Back to the wedding.
Private first
Easy for guests does not mean public by default.
Guests upload photos and videos in their browser. No app or account.
Every upload waits in your private review queue until you approve it.
Guests see a privacy and consent notice before they upload.
Event media stays while you keep the event or account. You control deletion; there is no automatic deletion after a fixed period.
Disposable camera alternative
Keep the guest perspective. Lose the expensive admin.
Disposable cameras are charming, but they add buying, collecting, developing, and scanning. Candid Cam keeps the spontaneous guest point of view while giving you digital files, private moderation, and one shareable album.
No disposable cameras to buy, collect, develop, or scan.
No group-chat compression or lost messages.
No public hashtag mixed with unrelated posts.
No guest app download during the reception.
